EXHORTATION
Praise God. Beloved, we are living in a world of abundant opportunities.

Prayer -Let God open your eyes to new opportunities in Jesus name.

- God can inspire you through the Holy Spirit to access mighty opportunities. He can instruct you in a vision, in dreams and through your mind. Job 33 v 15 and 16.
- You need three major things from the Lord to access unparallel opportunities that will announce you to your generation. Psalm 32 v 8 “I will instruct thee and teach thee in the way which thou shalt go: I will guide thee with mine eye”
INSTRUCTION -from the Lord to access opportunities
TEACHING – by the Lord on how to navigate
GUIDANCE – by the Lord to be on track
If you are determined to go with the Lord, surrendering everything to Him in absolute righteousness; as you say the following prayers, new openings and opportunities are yours in Jesus name. (Deut. 8:6 – 8)
