Taking - and making - opportunities

Lighthouse Church Durban

Some of Jesus' significant ministry moments took place in very ordinary situations:

- Talking to a stranger.

- Allowing people to interrupt his plans.

- Accepting invitations to a meal.

In the same way, we can experience significant ministry if we will take similar opportunities in our "ordinary" day-to-day living. Let's break through our comfort and culture barriers and talk to strangers. Let's be ready to be interrupted and to change our plans when people come to us. Let's accept invitations, even ones that may be uncomfortable.

As we "open the door" for ministry, some people may choose to walk away - but others will walk through that door! And God will do wonderful things through us!
