SCRIPTURE: “He saw heaven opened and something like a large sheet being let down to earth by its four corners. It contained all kinds of four-footed animals, as well as reptiles and birds. Then a voice told him, “Get up, Peter. Kill and eat.” “Surely not, Lord!” Peter replied. “I have never eaten anything impure or unclean.” The voice spoke to him a second time, “Do not call anything impure that God has made clean.” This happened three times, and immediately the sheet was taken back to heaven.” (Acts 10:11-16 NIV).
QUOTE: “You have to take advantage of the opportunity of a lifetime in the lifetime of the opportunity.” – Eric Thomas
NOTE:
Taking new territories and breaking new records in life entails destroying the negative addictions that slows us down and setting up new and positive associations and relationships. It is moving swiftly into action to ensure our desired goals and targets tied to the new grounds are realized. Every opportunity that comes our way will not be there indefinitely. So, please, take advantage of it while it lasts. The moment you don’t take advantage of the opportunities it would be moved or given to the next available serious mind. Some leaders are just generally slow, and the excuse they give is they are thinking on due process to achieve and break new grounds. However, the smart and wise leaders have thought through and engaged to see the realities. Please wake up and move into actions swiftly.

- How fast do you recognize divine opportunities?
