Challenges breed an opportunity!
Greetings everyone!
Every day breeds opportunities, and everyday missed of opportunities. We all have come across such a moment before, some grab and some couldn't because of the condition at that time.
Opportunity comes in different forms, it could be in challenges or through people directly or indirectly. Like, business, education, marriage, ministry, etc.
Therefore, any time I face challenges, it always an opportunity for me to learn and develop myself. So, in the midst of challenge or challenges, I took a step to becoming a better person than before.
Opportunity comes, but once, I disagree with this saying. If an opportunity comes, and I can't grab the first one, there would be another opportunity that will come. Opportunity doesn't stop knocking, it comes in different dimensions of life, to shape our lives.
Like what is happening in Nigeria, people are using this cash scarcity as an opportunity to create and invent things, that will fetch them money.
We just need to be smart and get to maximize every opportunity that comes our way.
Hear my story!
My opportunity comes from a challenging situation I face. I used to have a phobia of public speaking. I was so obsessed with fear to the point I almost disowned myself. Even communicating with my peers was a problem, talking to my teachers the same thing. But I thank God for delivering me from such an ugly situation.
How I overcame.
I joined an executive choir in my church, which consists of mature ladies and gentlemen. Me that I didn't know how to talk. My choir director asked to sing, I sang off-key, and I stopped at some point. They make mockery of me, since then, I decided to live that level. I went back home and I cried uncontrollably, asking God to help me. The next day I had my personal rehearsals, I had to strive to sing like the lead singer, I couldn't, I tried again, until I became a bit better at singing. I took it upon myself, and today it has helped all areas of my life. This challenge came to prune my voice and to put me in the right position. As God would like it, I started leading in praises and doing one thing or the other, and I could hear my voice coming out. Others testify to my speaking ability.
Today, I am a leader who carries influence that will shape others. This challenge has made me a choir leader in my denomination. This is me having the boldness to stand before old and young, speaking and singing to the Glory of God.
Opportunity came to me, but it was in a pruning form.
There are many opportunities, let me only share this one. Maybe some other time I will share more.
