Just read this post from Steven Furtick, the pastor of Elevation Church in Charlotte, NC. It really resonated with me as I wrestle with the opportunity before me and the people God is bringing together to form a2. Here's the link to Steven's blog. I've taken the liberty to paste Steven's post below:
“The opportunity of a lifetime must be seized in the lifetime of the opportunity.” ~ Leonard Ravenhill
Every opportunity has an expiration date. Exceptional people, churches, and businesses possess the agility to move at the speed of God. This usually means merging into oncoming traffic at breakneck speed.
A lot of people I know are more fearful of making a wrong move than making no move at all. Not me. I’ve been alive long enough to know that if I just sit at the intersection after God has given a green light, He’ll only honk a few times before He passes me by in the other lane. Doesn’t mean He’ll stop loving me or stop using me. It just means that that opportunity is gone. Forever.
If you are currently considering a great, godly, risky opportunity, consider this:
The cost of missing out can be greater than the cost of messing up.
The opportunity of a lifetime must be seized in the lifetime of the opportunity.
Wow! I love the last two sentences in Steven's post: "The cost of missing out can be greater than the cost of messing up. The opportunity of a lifetime must be seized in the lifetime of the opportunity."
The message? If God has placed an opportunity in front of you... If God has given you a "green light." Get your foot off the brakes. Hit the gas. Go for it. This is your time! This is a moment God has created for you to partner with Him in seeing Him do something exceptional...
