Don't Waste The Opportunity


Don’t Waste The Opportunity
Òwe Yorùbá (Yorùbá Proverb)
O wà ní ìfọnná, o kò fọnná; o wà ní ìfọnsu, o kò fọn isu; o wà ní ìfọnná fon isu, o ko fonna fon isu wa sile
Each Woman holding a tuber of yam


Translation
You are at the site of taking coals of fire, you were unable to take a coal of fire; you are at the place where you could take tubers of yam, you cannot take a tuber of yam; you are at the place where you can take both, take a tuber of yam and a coal of fire but you were unable to take any of it home.
Sliced Tuber of yam

Application
This is a proverb of rebuke. A person would be rebuked when she or he could not do what she or he has been opportune to do, but such a person is now looking unto people for assistance on what he or she has the opportunity and privilege of attaining or achieving then. In some instances, such people would even be threatening those people he or she is asking of assistance from them that they do not want to assist but forgetting that he was the one who wasted his own opportunity. So, people will tell him that he has no right to blame those who did not help him because he has wasted his own opportunity when it presented itself to him.

Some Prayer Points From The Book of Isaiah Author Writer’s Note A singular verse or at most two verses is/are taken from each chapter of the 66 chapters that make up this book and it is this verse of the chapter that prayer points are drawn out from. In some if not all instances explanations are given which would give anyone who wants to use such a chapter for prayer. These explanations (called Prayer knuckle, Prayer nuggets etc.) are related to other verses that make up the chapter and the entire books that make up the bible for lines must be upon lines and precepts upon precepts, here a little, there a little. “ For precept must be upon precept, precept upon precept; line upon line, line upon line; here a little, and there a little ” (Isa. 28:10) It is God’s prerogative to answer prayers, it is our duties to pray unto the Lord. Therefore, do not relent in praying to your heavenly father, Jesus. “ But thou, when thou prayest, enter into thy closet, and when thou ha...
