Oportunidades
As oportunidades são dádivas de Deus que exigem sabedoria e prontidão. A Bíblia nos chama a aproveitar o tempo, agir com diligência e não desperdiçar os kairos divinos.
Aproveitando o tempo
Remindo o tempo, porque os dias são maus. O cristão é chamado a reconhecer e aproveitar cada oportunidade com sabedoria.
Make the most of every opportunity in these evil days.
Live wisely among those who are not believers, and make the most of every opportunity.
We must quickly carry out the tasks assigned us by the one who sent us.The night is coming, and then no one can work.
Therefore, whenever we have the opportunity, we should do good to everyone—especially to those in the family of faith.
Prontidão e ação
Pregue a Palavra a tempo e fora de tempo. As oportunidades às vezes surgem inesperadamente e exigem decisão imediata.
Preach the word of God. Be prepared, whether the time is favorable or not. Patiently correct, rebuke, and encourage your people with good teaching.
