A Door of Opportunity

2 Cor2:12 "...and a door (an opportunity) was opened to me by the Lord,"
1 Cor16:9 "For a great and effective door has opened to me,..."
Acts 14:27 "Now when they had come and gathered the church together,they reported all that God had done with them, and that He had opened the door of faith to the Gentiles."
We can see a number of relevant points from these scriptures regarding the ministry of Paul:

• The Lord opens doors of opportunity;
• When the Lord opens an opportunity, it is solid, sure, success-creating, promoting and honoring and significant;
• God will give the breakthrough for us to do what we have been commanded and called to do.

Its important that we realise that it's not just for 'ministry', but that we should trust the Lord to always give us the breakthrough opportunity into that which we believe He has called us. Of course, what we need to know and seek Him for is: 'What has He called and purposed me to do.' Paul knew that the Lord had called them to bring the message of faith to the Gentiles (those outside the covenant of Israel). It was there in Antioch that the Lord opens a door for them to begin. Doors, of course, imply an entering in, a going through.The Lord opens the opportunity and we need to step through. We trust God for the divine moment of God-given opportunity to fulfill what we are destined for; we stay close to the Lord in obedience and faith and then take the step of bold faith to 'move' in that direction. Be strong and of good courage, God told Joshua concerning the 'door' He was giving the nation of Israel. Acts 13: 46 "Then Paul and Barnabas grew bold and said,...behold we turn to the Gentiles." Today, know that and trust God that He WILL open a door of opportunity for YOU. Begin to confess: "My door of opportunity from the Lord is being opened for me. I have divine opportunity coming my way to do what the Lord has called me to do. My opportunity is significant and will launch me into my God-given purpose and destiny. I am stepping into my breakthrough by faith. I will boldly enter my God-given door of opportunity. Right now, divine opportunities are coming my way. " Those to whom Paul and his team were ministering, refused to receive them and in fact opposed them with contradiction, using vile words to hurt their reputation. BUT GOD....gave the breakthrough! You may feel that you are on a 'go-nowhere road where all you get is opposition and experiencing contradiction in everything you attempt to the point all you can hear in your head is "you are worth nothing;you will never amount to anything". Time to trust God for the breakthrough and a significant door of opportunity! He has one for you.
