3/31 Seizing the Opportunity and Rising up to Pray

March 31, 2020: a 24-hour global watchman’s prayer

The following excerpts are from brother Andrew Yu’s fellowship to those serving with the Mainland Chinese Scholars Work. However this word is pertinent to all the saints. Please visit the link (http://mswe1.org/globalprayer3312020en) to read the full fellowship from brother Andrew Yu. If the Lord leads you to participate in the 24 hour prayer session, there’s a form in the web page to signup for accountability.

These days are not only the days of pestilence but also the days for seizing the opportunities.

What days are these days? These days are not only the days of pestilence and the days of anguish, but also the evil days and “ill, diseased” days (Eph. 5:16). During these days we not only should not be foolish, but even more should seize the opportunities. Ephesians 5:16 says, “Redeeming the time, because the days are evil.” Brother Watchman Nee said:

“There are several Greek words for the word time, as it is translated in the two verses we just read. In both these passages, the Greek word is not chronos, but kairos. This word does not merely refer to time. There are many passages which use this Greek word in conjunction with other words, and in those instances it is translated opportunity…These words from the Bible show us the Lord’s thought about opportunity. The Lord considers opportunity to be something very important…I do not know how much you understand the word opportunity. I always wonder how many opportunities I have missed. In many matters, on the negative side, we do not know how many opportunities we have missed. Many things which we can do are all too easily missed by us. Many people which we can save are all too easily neglected by us…When we face the Lord in the future, we will truly have much regret to face! We are confused and unclear about everything, and we do not know how many opportunities we have missed!

If we do not miss the opportunities, the Lord will make tremendous gains.

I beg you to discover every opportunity God has given you every day. We hope we can discover the opportunities today instead of being reminded of them in the future…Redeeming the time means seeing what the Lord has arranged for us. If we do not miss the opportunities, the Lord will make tremendous gains, and the work will make immense progress.
