OPPORTUNITY: REDEEMING THE TIME

OUR DAILY BENEFITS DEVOTIONAL 

TUESDAY JUNE 10,  2025

OPPORTUNITY – REDEEM THE MOMENT 

"Redeeming the time, because the days are evil." Ephesians 5:16 (KJV)

🔍# REFLECTION 

          Opportunity is time wearing a purpose. It is not just a moment—it is a divine window, a heavenly chance to manifest God's will in the earth. Ephesians 5:16 exhorts us to redeem the time, recognizing that not every moment is equal. Some seasons carry more weight, and some doors lead to destiny.

           To redeem time is to buy it back—to convert fleeting moments into eternal value, to respond purpose with apt, fervency and diligence. It is the call to live with urgency, awareness, and wisdom. God will not force you through the open doors; He invites you to walk boldly, intentionally, and faithfully.

          Opportunities are part of God's providential system of advancement. Spiritually, recognizing and seizing opportunities aligns you with God's eternal calendar. It proves your stewardship of grace and your sensitivity to the Spirit. To waste opportunity is to delay divine alignment. Emotionally, opportunities can stir both excitement and fear. They challenge comfort zones and provoke courage. They require emotional maturity to prioritize purpose over popularity and conviction over convenience. Mentally, recognizing opportunity demands a renewed mind (Romans 12:2). It involves sharpening discernment and cultivating strategic thinking. When your thoughts are aligned with purpose, your mind is prepared to capitalize on divine timing.

          Stop waiting for a favourable season to take action. The day of salvation and faith is now not later.  You don't need to wait; you only need to ask. The violent takes by force.

          If we subject our destiny opportunities to time and chance, we will wait for a longtime. The man at water wasted 38 years. The just live by faith and change not time and chance. Stop waiting for chance to come; call chance and take it by faith.
