Does God know your situation? Yes!
Is it too hard for him to handle? No!
Does he have a good plan for your life? Yes

The answer: “2 Chairs” to taking time to ask him and listen to what he has to say.

Opportunity Leadership

by Roger Parrot

From listening to God to putting plans into action. That’s what Opportunity Leadership is about.

“Opportunity Leadership is a model of leadership that begins and ends with complete trust in God for a ministry’s direction. It also future destinations to be ordered by His hand and loosens our iron grip on the wheel of control. When we embrace it, we join those leaders who have become free from the overwhelming burden of determining what is bet for their ministry. We no longer need to manipulate our efforts and circumstances to engineer outcomes that force pre-determined destinations to be reached.

Opportunity Leadership is grounded in waiting in anticipation for God-given opportunities to develop that mesh seamlessly with our mission, gifting, and capacity - propelling us to destinations that are heavenly ordained. As a result, we become leaders who hone traits that enable us to become highly sensitive to the wind of God and create an organisational culture that allows us to respond to new opportunities with urgency, adeptness and energy.”
