windows of opportunities

Prosperity theology.
Abundance mentality.

Im sure some of us may have encountered these things if not in writings then in preaching or much better in real life.

It simply says, there is so much blessings, talent, wealth, ideas in the world that there is everything for everyone. And more.

Think about Gandhi. Bill Gates. Steve Jobs. Einstein. Mother Teresa. Pope John Paul II. People who inspire you.

Think about Facebook. Youtube. Twitter. Microsoft. Apple. Google. Ideas that captured your imagination.

Think about songs that you still hum to, books that you will never tire of quoting.
Why then is there so much poverty?

Because the proponents of these mindset argues that it’s all in the frame of mind and way of life.
If you think and believe that the world can only offer as much and thus you will only work as much then you will really reap what you sow.
If you will be afraid to enter through a window when a door closes then you will not be rewarded with the treasure that awaits you at the other end.

Proponents argue further that not only should you enter a window when a door closes but enter the countless windows because there really are limitless opportunities that are yours for the entering.

And the free thing available nowadays is an idea created by your mind that can generate billions, if money is your concern, or an idea that can inspire people to be the change they want, if activism is your forte.

The whole world is ours for the taking, that we may offer it back to God, if only we will allow our life’s dream, mind’s imagination, and heart’s passion to be big enough to contain the world.

May we never despair if a door closes, instead may we overcome our fears and find the strength not just to enter a window that opens but to enter all the windows of opportunities made available to us by God’s grace.
