Sermon Notes
The sermon “The Door of Opportunity” centers on the theme of seizing God-given opportunities and the consequences of neglecting them. Drawing from the story of Ahab in 1 Kings 20:42, it illustrates how Ahab’s failure to destroy the enemy, Ben-Hadad, when given the chance led to severe judgment. This reflects the broader Christian principle that God opens doors of opportunity for His people, but it is their responsibility to act faithfully when those moments arise.
The sermon highlights that opportunities, like doors, provide access to God’s blessings and purposes but are often time-sensitive and require decisive action. Missing these moments, as shown through Ahab’s story and warnings in Scripture, can lead to significant loss and regret.
The message also cautions believers against giving the devil opportunities to work in their lives, emphasizing the importance of vigilance and responsiveness to the Holy Spirit’s promptings. In summary, the sermon urges Christians to recognize and act on the opportunities God places before them, understanding that these moments are crucial for fulfilling God’s will and advancing His kingdom.
