WILL YOU BE THE
ONE?
Special thanks are extended to Moses Thavheni for sharing the following inspirational article:
David was bringing
food to his brothers at the battlefront when he saw Goliath. He wasn’t
thinking of becoming a hero, he just seized an opportunity that other soldiers
only dream about.
Opportunities often catch us by surprise, and if we’re not alert and ready, we’ll miss out on them. What others discovered in David that day had existed inside him all along!
FYI, YOU already possess the talents necessary to lead and to be victorious. It is your COURAGE and CONVICTION that will establish you as a mover-and shaker in this life. The people we revere the most demonstrate great courage – courage on the battlefield or in the boardroom, courage to defend the defenseless, courage to attempt what no one else deems possible.
Often people look in the face of opportunity and say, ‘But I don’t have the money.’ Friends, don’t worry; capital tends to follow courage. The WHAT must always precede the HOW. So don’t be intimidated by the numbers because GOD is not moved by opinions, spreadsheets or market conditions. GOD is moved by FAITH.
So never allow HOW to intimidate you. HOW is challenging for one reason and one reason only – because it provides overflowing OPPORTUNITY. If the pathway to success were well lit and easily attainable, it would be completely crowded. If HOW wasn’t a significant challenge for us to engage, someone else would already have figured it out. But YOU can do all things through the power and guidance of GOD.
All progress begins with one question: “WHAT needs to be done?” Some creative person is always asking that question. Why not YOU? In Proverbs 8:12, the sage King Solomon penned these words: “I wisdom dwell with prudence, and find out knowledge of witty inventions.”
The future belongs to those who have the courage to ask that question and the faith to hang in until they discover the answer. When obstacles look too big and opposition seems too strong, stand with faith on this scripture passage:

II Kings 6:15-16 (KJV)
And when the
servant of the man of God was risen early, and gone forth, behold, an HOST
compassed the city both with horses and chariots. And his servant said
unto him, Alas, my master! HOW shall we do? And he
answered, FEAR NOT: FOR THEY THAT
BE WITH US ARE MORE THAN THEY THAT BE WITH THEM.
In this scripture,
“they” represents Almighty God and the heavenly host. In other words, “if
GOD be for us, who can be against us?” (Romans 8:31) In closing, I have a
key question for every believer:
WILL YOU BE THE
ONE?
