OPPORTUNITY

Hi fellows, in the space of one month I will be talking about opportunities and its importance in our lives. Sometimes I may use real life illustrations, sometimes just words of encouragement, sometimes something that will serve as an eye opener for opportunities. I hope that every word I say, will make a meaningful impact in your life.....
Now enough of the talk, let's get down to business......today I am so excited because I am going to meet, for the first time, the writer and the relationship specialist "Michelle Mckinney Hammond... I can't wait for that. I love her books especially, " The Power Of Being A Woman". Sorry guys, I am not being a feminist and the book isn't either, I strongly recommend you buy it for your female friends, its a blessing".......
Before I drop my pen, I will like to leave you with these words......." someone once told me......every man gets his opportunity in life, usually wrapped in something funny and most of the time unattractive. What makes the difference is one's ability to be able to decipher it and use it for ons's good.....
Extracts From The Daily Manna of Dr Chris Kwakpovwe, 30th July, 2010
" I asked for Strength and God gave me Difficulties to make me strong.
I asked for Wisdom and He gave me Problems to solve.
I asked for Prosperity and God gave me Brain and Brawn to work.
I asked for Courage and God gave me Danger to overcome.
I asked for Love and God gave me Troubled people to help.
I asked for Favor and God gave me Opportunities.
I received nothing I worked for.....
I received everything I needed.....
A little story to add to this....... " for the past 5 months I have been looking for a french, french person to practice my french with. I wanted it so desperately, because I didn't want to lose my flow of the french language. Everyday I begged God to give me a friend, who was french. Everyday I asked around for a french community. Everyday I searched the internet looking for someone, anyone who could speak french with me.....
Then yesterday evening, lo and behold, two men walked into the reading room, one white and the other an african, and they were both speaking french. Here was I sitting down, staring at them, with my mouths wide open. I tried to psyche myself to get up and talk to them... I was still psyching myself till they left. And you know what; the men were even polite enough to ask me a question, ( but of course in english...lol...)...... Imagine that.......An opportunity lost.....
I have asked for a long while and he gave it to me, but I shied away from it.......A lot of us are like this, and we wonder why things don't work for us.....
Now I am back to square one looking for, begging for and praying for yet another opportunity to get a french french friend.
Notez Bien: Don't lose yours this weekend. Have a great weekend.
