Walking in Your Purpose and Assignment With Focusનમૂનો

There comes a time in our journey of walking in our assignment when we have to make a decision. We have to decide if the opposition is going to be an opportunity or an excuse. The mere presence of opposition against your assignment is an indication that you are moving in the right direction. The root word of “opposition” is “opposite,” and if you are moving forward, opposition is trying to pull you backward.

If you are experiencing opposition in the rebuilding, then you are not alone. 

When we have been called to build and rebuild, there will be opposition to the process. If we fix our attention on the opposition, then we will miss the opportunity. 

We don’t always want to find out how strong we are. Many times we would rather just know that we have untapped strength and not actually have to use it. That is fair, but when it comes to our assignments, they have to be guarded. That will require boldness and strength.

Believe it or not, I was once a very timid person. I believe that the enemy works in counterfeit, so as I became older, I realized that the extreme timidity was really the counterfeit of what God said I was, which was bold. Nevertheless, this timidity stopped me from saying things, doing things, and completing things God had laid on my heart more often than I would like to admit. I always had friends who didn’t struggle with this, so that made it quite easy for me to fall back and let others use their boldness for my benefit.

But that only lasted until life required that I be all that God had called me to be, which is bold and strong. 

What does it look like for opposition to become opportunity in your current season of life?
