Hebrew 4:12-16. NIV.
12 For the word of God is alive and active. Sharper than any double-edged sword, it penetrates even to dividing soul and spirit, joints and marrow; it judges the thoughts and attitudes of the heart. 13 Nothing in all creation is hidden from God’s sight. Everything is uncovered and laid bare before the eyes of him to whom we must give account. 14 Therefore, since we have a great high priest who has ascended into heaven, Jesus the Son of God, let us hold firmly to the faith we profess. 15 For we do not have a high priest who is unable to empathize with our weaknesses, but we have one who has been tempted in every way, just as we are—yet he did not sin. 16 Let us then approach God’s throne of grace with confidence, so that we may receive mercy and find grace to help us in our time of need.
Anytime you come to the presence of God, it will create an Opportunity for you to be blessed. “This is God’s Message, the God who made earth, made it livable and ever lasting, He is called and known everywhere as God; creator of the universe and everything within it. He said \’‘Call to me and I will answer you. I’ll tell you marvelous and wondrous things that you could never figure out on your own.’
There are hiding things beyond the physical eyes that we do not know and they can go a long way to make sense and a difference in our life if we get to know them. In Deuteronomy 29:29, the bible says, “The secret things belong to the Lord our God, but the things revealed belong to us and to our children forever, that we may follow all the words of this law.” Jeremiah 33:3; \”Call to me and I will answer you, and will tell you great and hidden things that you have not known\”
There are encounters when ever you\’re connected to the presence of His Holiness. Opportunities do abound; Opportunities of open doors. In the realm of the spirit there are doors and gates that are shut against people which They do not know and these doors open when you approach His throne of mercy \”And the key of the house of David I will lay upon his shoulder; he shall open and no one shall shut, he shall shut and no one shall open\” Isaiah 22:22.
You will have the Opportunity of Commanding your day whenever you come to God in prayers in the mornings for His Mercies are New every Morning. Job 38:12 \”Have you commanded the morning since your days began and caused the dawn to know its place\”. Do you know that at night the evil ones go into work to distarblize your day and put stumbling blocks in place to deter all your efforts. You sow much and reap little or nothing because the agents of darkness is at work against you. The scripture says \”But while everyone was sleeping, his enemy came and sowed weeds among the wheat, and went away\” Matthew 13:25.
There are ancient doors that have become stubborn and refused to open, the psalmist says \”Lift up your heads, you gates; lift them up, you ancient doors, that the King of glory may come in\”. You pray it seems no answer, you feel God is not hearing your prayers and as such no answer coming forth, You must command the ancient doors and gates to be opened for the king of glory to come in and dwell in your place.
There will be an Opportunity to be favoured by God. \”Then you will find favor with both God and people, and you will earn a good reputation\”. Proverbs 3:4.
You will gain an Opportunity of life transformation. It is almost becoming a cliche to say that prayers not only change things around but also changes personality of a person. \”As he was praying, the appearance of his face changed, and his clothes became as bright as a flash of lightning\” Luke 9:29.
You can not change anything around you until you change your person. Prayers create the encounter for transformation. Every human being on earth is an opportunity channels. The bible Proclaim further: \”This is what the Lord Almighty says: ‘My towns will again overflow with prosperity, and the Lord will again comfort Zion and choose Jerusalem.’\’ . Zechariah 1:17.
There are Opportunity of giving birth to visions and dreams. You must conceptualize a vision before you can bring forth a creative idea. Nothing good comes easy. A Chinese proverbs translation (GOOD PRODUCT GOOD THINKING).Prayers help sharpen your horizons and values. The bible says \”Who has ever heard of such things? Who has ever seen things like this? Can a country be born in a day or a nation be brought forth in a moment? Yet no sooner is Zion in labor than she gives birth to her Children\”. Isaiah 66:8.
This is the confidence we have in approaching God: that if we ask anything according to his will, he hears us. And if we know that he hears us, whatever we ask we know that we have what we asked of him.
What This scripture is telling us; it has created a picture of what it will look like when we genuinely develop confidence in God. We can without fear or contradiction be bold with confidence to come before His presence and make our request known to Him with the assurance that it will be granted. God\’s promises are real and sure to deliver only believe in Him and wait patiently. He promises to lead us to “pleasant places.” He promises to show us what to do and how we can achieve that, He promises to always be with us , all these promises He keeps them for us. we must avail ourselves with the numerous Opportunities being in His presence can afford us and tap into the joy of being Blessed.
