How To Recognize Opportunities

To recognize simply means to see something you have known before. There are loads of opportunities flowing around us every day but we do not recognize them. They have not been part of our dreams. If you have problem-mentality, you will see problems every where. What some people call a problem is what some others call opportunity. Problems and opportunities are one and the same thing. What you see depends a whole lot on your mental training. You must deliberately cultivate success consciousness. The Holy Scripture tells us how to change our thinking. The more you change your thoughts, the more you change your life. “Be not be conformed to this world but be transformed by the renewing of your mind” The word ‘transformed’ in this Scripture is similar to the English word “metamorphosis’ which is the process of transformation. The development, especially of a butterfly, best describes the experience. It starts as an egg, becomes larva, from larva to caterpillar, and caterpillar to butterfly. “Call to Me and I will answer you, and show you great and mighty things, which you do not know” – The Holy Scripture. You must stop fighting spiritual problem with material weapon. You must stop trying to change situations that have an invisible root with visible weapon. “Though we talk in the flesh, we do not war according to the flesh.” For the weapon of out warfare are not carnal but mighty in God for pulling down strongholds. We need to destroy some thought-patterns. The thought of failure is not an ordinary strongholds; it is spiritual stronghold. Recognizing the source of problem, “you can cast down all negative imaginations or arguments, and everything that exalts itself against the knowledge of God” You can hold thoughts captive. They are so powerful and can demobilize your life if you do not stop them. The mind is the battle ground, and it is the place where the devil really tries to influence our lives. The mind is the place where we succeed or fail. There are general thinking patterns about money that you must pull out of your mind so you can move forward financially. One such stereotype is “ You use money to get money.” Get that out of your mind quickly. The root of all achievements is thoughts. Do not be stranded because you do not have money. If you act on the right ideas, you will get money. God did not use cash to create the world. Recognizing opportunities where others see problem is the key to success.
