Daily Delight Devotional – Thursday, May 9, 2024

I must work the works of Him who sent Me while it is day; the night is coming when no one can work.

– John 9:4, NKJV

Divine opportunities are all around us. Our Master, Jesus Christ recognizes this and reminds us of the urgency of seizing such opportunities to fulfil the work of our ministry. There is a time when the gospel can be shared and there are times when it is impossible. The daytime is a time that can be translated into many phenomena. We must understand these situations and make use of them.

As followers of Jesus, we are called to be diligent and proactive in our efforts to spread the Good News of salvation. The time for evangelism and discipleship is now, while we have the opportunity to do so. We cannot afford to delay or procrastinate, for the night is coming when our ability to work for the kingdom will be limited.

Just as Jesus was intentional about His ministry on earth, so too are we called to be intentional about fulfilling God’s purposes for our lives. We are to seize every divine opportunity that comes our way, recognizing that each moment presents a chance to make an eternal impact in someone’s life. The moment Jesus saw Zacchaeus, he didn’t delay. He asked him to come down from the Sycamore tree because he knew it was a moment he couldn’t miss. (Luke 19:1-10)

Seizing divine opportunities requires boldness, faith, and a willingness to step out of our comfort zones. It may involve taking risks, overcoming fears, and stepping into unfamiliar territory. But as we trust in God’s leading and rely on His strength, He will equip us to make the most of every opportunity for His glory.

Insight: Divine opportunities are moments that require us to be vigilant and proactive to labour to produce lasting fruits for the Kingdom of God.

Prayer: Lord Jesus, grant me the wisdom, courage, and discernment to seize divine opportunities and fulfil Your purposes for my life.
