Making the Most of Every Opportunity -
The church at Philadelphia was one of two churches in Revelation chapters 2 & 3 that received no criticism (Smyrna being the other). In the writing to the church at Philadelphia, one verse reveals an interesting formula for making the most of every opportunity – for churches and individual Christians. We can find it in Revelation 3:8.
Before we get to the formula, let’s first note that it is the Lord who grants opportunities. In verse 8 we read, “See, I have set before you an open door, and no one can shut it.” Jesus opened doors of productivity and service before them. He still does this today.
Now, let’s look at the verse in full and note the formula:
“I know your works. See, I have set before you an open door, and no one can shut it; for you have a little strength, have kept My word, and have not denied My name”.
1) Start with God’s word. They were commended by Jesus because they had kept His word. God’s words gives us all things we need for life, godliness, and success (cf. 2 Peter 1:3).
2) Apply what is learned from God’s word. They loved the word of God and stayed faithful in living and defending it. The Bible, when properly applied, leads one to a productive and successful life (cf. 2 Timothy 3:16-17).
3) Take inventory of resources. They may have had “a little strength” , but they had some strength. Maybe they were small in numbers, resources, or influence, but they still utilized them. Take stock of what you have: resources, time, talents, enthusiasm. Whatever it is, no matter how seemingly small, know that it can be used for success for the Lord (cf. Matthew 25:14-30).
4) Get to work. Jesus recognized and praised their works. What a great reminder to us. Get busy. Get up and get going. Get to work for the Lord. Get ready, get set, and go! He will take note of what you do in His name (cf. 1 Thessalonians 1:3)
So the formula is: learn, live, list, and labor! If we do these, God will provide the opportunities for spiritual service and success.
“Therefore, as we have opportunity, let us do good to all, especially to those who are of the household of faith.” (Galatians 6:10) ~Edd Sterchi
