"Three Doors of Opportunity"

Luke 8:5 "A sower went out to sow his seed":
When that sower got up in the morning he was ready to meet his door of opportunity that day. He was prepared with his seeds and he was ready to go out into his field that he had plowed and made good for planting. He had done his homework on sowing. He knew what to do with his seeds and what to do with his opportunity on that fine day.

The sun was high the ground was moist and the seeds were plentiful. The benefit of his sowing and harvesting was that all his needs would be met. His future was depending on him getting out there in his field and sowing his seeds. Jesus tells us a parable about seeds that end up in different areas.
Luke 8:6-8 "And as he sowed, some fell by the way side; some fell upon a rock; moisture. And some fell among thorns; And other fell on good ground, and sprang up, and bare fruit an hundredfold" KJV When the wind pick up some of the seeds were blown away into the wrong direction but because he was still persistent at last his seeds fell on good ground.

So the door of opportunity that opened to the sower that day rewarded him for his persistence. He didn't give up when the wind blew his seeds to that area were it was dry, or rocky or thorny. No dear reader he had prepared the ground to receive the seed. He knew the ground was good and that the seed would take root and grow. He also knew that after a very short time of watching and nourishing the crop his barn would be full.

We have a door of opportunity always available to us. All we must do is approach it and enter. The door is Jesus. John 10:9 I am the door: by me if any man enter in, he shall be saved, KJV In our Wednesday teaching we have been studying Philippians chapter one, where Paul was writing to Timothy. Phil 1:6 6 And I am sure that God who began the good work within you will keep right on helping you grow in his grace until his task within you is finally finished on that day when Jesus Christ returns. TLB

Timothy's task was to sow the seed of the gospel. Paul was sitting in a Roman prison in chains. He was also under constant watch by a guard. He witnessed to all of the prisoners and guards while he was sitting there in chains. Paul found the dark, cold damp prison cells to be his doors of opportunity to preach the gospel and lead these unfortunate and forgotten cellmates to Christ. Timothy however was still free and moving around the streets and temples in Phillippi. Paul was still a part of the church of Phillippi. He had been there to help them establish it. He could not be with them now but he knew through the Holy Spirit that he had taught them well how to serve Jesus and their fellow man.

Phil 2:12-13 Wherefore, my beloved, as ye have always obeyed, not as in my presence only, but now much more in my absence, work out your own salvation with fear and trembling. 13 For it is God which worketh in you both to will and to do of his good pleasure. KJV Each one of these saints Paul knew personally and he knew their spiritual needs. He wanted them to plant seeds from the gospel to please God. He knew the dangers they would have to face. His desire was that they be strong and persistent. Paul wanted to encourage them. And at the same time he also wanted them to understand the importance of their sowing.

Phil 2:16 16 Holding forth the word of life; It is the word of life, the word of truth, the word of love, the word of salvation, these are our seeds. Like the sower that did his homework we have the Bible to instruct us so we also can do our homework and be preparing for our day of sowing. Although when we sow a wind may blow our seeds to a dry rocky and thorny ground. If that happens we do not give up. The Holy Spirit has prepared the good ground for our seeds. With our faith and persistence we continue sowing our seeds until the day is done.

Our doors of opportunity are only a prayer away. Jesus is the door therefore it is He that opens our doors of opportunity. How many doors are there? As many fields that the Holy Spirit has prepared with good ground? To receive every blessing God has for us we must use every opportunity giving Him back ten percent of something we have. If we want to harvest in unbelievers we have to sow seeds. We have to give ten percent of our time and our testimonies out in the world.

Acts 22:15-16 15 For thou shalt be his witness unto all men of what thou hast seen and heard. 16 And now why tarriest thou? arise, and be baptized, and wash away thy sins, calling on the name of the Lord. KJV If we want to harvest in healthy bodies we must sow seeds. We must give ten percent of our prayer time and fasting for healings. Mark 9:29 29 And he said unto them, This kind can come forth by nothing, but by prayer and fasting. KJV If we want to harvest in financial gain. We must give ten percent of our wages and earnings. This is called a tithe. Luke 6:38 38 Give, and it shall be given unto you; good measure, pressed down, and shaken together, and running over. We also are instructed to give offerings with our tithes. For with the same measure that ye mete withal it shall be measured to you again. KJV So each of these doors of opportunity are available to us dear reader. With our sowing of the gospel we will see our family and loved ones as well as strangers get saved. With our sowing prayer and fasting we can see the healing and miracles in ours and in others physical bodies well again. Also we can see the healing of relationships in the “body of the church”.

With our sowing of our offerings to Israel or Christian organizations along with our tithing to our own church we will be blessed with the abundant life full of grace that the Lord wants us to have. 2 Cor 4:14-15 14 Knowing that he which raised up the Lord Jesus shall raise up us also by Jesus, and shall present us with you. 15 For all things are for your sakes, that the abundant grace might through the thanksgiving of many redound to the glory of God. KJV To pass though these doors of opportunity, we must be willing to pass through all three of them. Luke 12:31 31 But rather seek ye the kingdom of God; and all these things shall be added unto you. KJV. Each door holds a blessing unlike anything the world has to offer. Each door holds the blessings of the Kingdom of God. Are you ready to enter these three doors of opportunity? Let us get started. Amen & Amen.
