In the dynamic ecosystem of business, every leader faces two inseparable elements: opportunities and obstacles. The manner in which we navigate these determines not just our business success, but also the extent of our Kingdom impact. The book of Acts, particularly Acts 3:12 and 4:19, provides profound insights into seizing opportunities and overcoming challenges.
Peter, having healed a man lame from birth, stood before a crowd of awestruck onlookers. This moment, described in Acts 3:12, was an opportunity – an open door to showcase God’s power and grace. He didn’t let it slip away unnoticed but seized it to testify of Christ’s resurrection power.
However, with opportunity often comes opposition. In Acts 4:19, Peter and John found themselves before the rulers, elders, and teachers of the law, defending the source of the healing power. It was a direct confrontation, an obstacle that threatened to quell the fledgling movement.
For Christian business leaders today, these two moments - of opportunity and challenge - are as real as the profit and loss statements, as tangible as the growth metrics. Every business season is sprinkled with moments where opportunities to showcase God’s excellence arise and where challenges to our faith and principles confront us.
Positioning for Excellence isn’t a passive wait; it’s an active engagement with every facet of business from a standpoint of faith. It’s making decisions rooted in Biblical principles, seizing opportunities to display God’s excellence, and facing challenges with divine wisdom and courage.
In the middle of your busy schedule, take a moment to reflect - are you positioned for excellence? Are you seizing your ‘Acts 3:12’ moments and standing firm in your ‘Acts 4:19’ confrontations?
