This was another required reading from Bible School. This book was great! The topic was simple – what happens when we get born again. However, the way E.W. Kenyon picked that topic apart blew my mind. Literally every sentence in the book could be an entire sermon. This book is filled with priceless revelation concerning the new birth. I’d recommend it to anyone who is serious about their walk with God – definitely a book to read if you want to get into some of the deep things of God. Here are some of my favorite nuggets (there are way too many to list, but here are a few):

• Our attitude toward the Word determines the place that God holds in our daily life
• We become Christlike in the measure that the Word prevails in us
• My heart craves for the hour when we will begin to appreciate what words can accomplish
  

• The believer is the one who has acted on the Word of God
• Great enthusiasm and joy comes at the new birth, but unless that is cared for and fed by the mind being renewed through feeding on the Word and practicing it, that joy will die out.
• The small faith man is almost invariably a man whose mind has not yet been renewed
• The very genius of Christianity is the ability of God to build Himself into us through the Word, so that in our daily walk we live like the master
  

That is just a brief look into the book – I’d highly recommend getting this in your library.

What He opens, no one can close; and what He closes, no one can open. I know all the things you do, and I have opened a door for you that no one can close. -Revelation 3:7-8

What Opportunities are right in front of You?

I think one of the biggest obstacles people face when it comes to going after their dreams is that they fail to take advantage of the opportunities that are right in front of them. Some people will read the verse above and think that God’s going to open every door for them, carry them through, and one day they’ll end up being Joel Osteen, President of the United States, or CEO of a Fortune 500 Company. That is NEVER the case. I promise you that everybody that you look up to in life got to where they are today as a result of taking advantages of all the small opportunities that came their way over the years.

I’ve found this – that people who never take advantage of the opportunities right in front of them, never have bigger or better opportunities come across their path.

Some of you are wondering why opportunities aren’t coming your way. Why doors aren’t opening up. Why you’re not making any progress. My question to you is: Are you being faithful with the opportunities in front of you?

Maybe you’re thinking “There are no opportunities in front of me.” WRONG! What that thought really means is that you don’t believe there are no opportunities in front of you that you think are worth your time.

Depending on where you are in life it make take some humility to put your hand to the opportunities in front of you. Maybe it’s a minimum wage job, setting up and tearing down, maybe serving in a ministry (you should always be doing this), serving your boss, or taking on an extra project at work. Whatever it is, no matter how small, take advantage of opportunities like these and do them with excellence, and watch as God brings bigger and better opportunities your way.

Remember Matthew 25:23 – “His master replied, ‘Well done, good and faithful servant! You have been faithful with a few things; I will put you in charge of many things. Come and share your master’s happiness!’

Are you taking advantage of the opportunities in front of you?
