Windows of Opprotunity

Acts 3:12 "Peter saw his opportunity and addressed the crowd..." Peter saw his opportunity, what do you see? The supernatural power of God opens up a window of opportunity to share the gospel and call people to a place of repentance. Peter grabbed hold of this moment and began to preach Jesus and call the people back to God. Everyday we have windows of opportunity to share Jesus with our co-workers, family and friends, but if we are not looking we wont see our opportunity. Instead all we will see and hear are the hurts and struggles of those around us. It was the struggle of one man that opened the window of opportunity up for Peter. How you respond the needs of others around you determines the opportunities that you will have to minister Jesus. I want to share three keys to an open window of opportunity. First remember that we serve a supernatural God. Don't be afraid to step out in faith and trust God to do the impossible. Peter had to trust God to do what he knew only God could do and God did it. We have not because we ask not. Second remember that every need you encounter is a window of opportunity for the gospel of Jesus Christ. Ask God to keep you sensitive to the needs of others and respond according to the leading of the Holy Spirit. Third remember that windows of opportunity are moments that have a beginning and an end. When the opportunity arises don't procrastinate for a better time. Jump through that window, boldly declare who Jesus is and call people back to God.
