VOT: May 4, 2023- “Maximize chances, minimize excuses” M-factor” To achieve any dream or anything we desire in life, there are usually set goals and preparation made in advance. There are opportunities that give us the privilege to make prompt choices or decisions which are usually time bound. If we delay or make excuses in such decisions, we may lose the chance of the actualization or the full manifestation of the desired dream. The reason most people are slow to act or maximize their chances is because they fail to prioritize right. We must ask God, “The Holy Spirit” to help us to be diligent and faithful so that we do not miss or lose our chances to other people who may not be as qualified as us, because God qualifies the unqualified. Making excuses shuts the door against one who may be qualified and opens the door for another who may not be qualified, and not expecting to receive, but is simply quick to seize the opportunity. M-1: Make use of every opportunity you have and put in your best. Opportunities come and go. Ensure that you do not undermine the opportunities or ignore them because if you miss them, another person will seize them and use them. Take heed, so that you do not lose your chances to others who are more prepared and do not make excuses. What you can do quick, do and do not procrastinate. M-2: Mind-set shift or reset: Every situation or case per time and season is not exactly same for all. You cannot use what works for one to judge or assume the same method for another especially when it comes to issues of life similar for individuals. For example in marriage or relationships, there are similar cases, but different approach. We must be open to any differences or changes we have to make, being ready to switch or reset our mind to adjust to our environment or various situations. M-3: Mediocrity is intolerable. We must put on our best according to God’s unlimited grace provided for us through Jesus Christ. We can do all things through Christ who strengthens us. As long as we acknowledge God in
