The difference between joy and regret sometimes is being able to discern between what is goodand what is God.

We will be faced with many opportunities in life, but how can we tell which of them is not a distraction from God's best plan for us? In this book, reflecting on scripture and personal experience, Joseph lays out 7 checkpoints to help the reader discern if an opportunity is indeed from God or just another distraction from His best plan. In this book you will learn:

• How to avoid regret
• Positive and negative signs to watch out for in making a choice
• Tips on choosing a life partner

And lots more

What a priceless book I've always known my friend, Joseph, to have a precious gift that speaks straight into the spaces where life's tensions really sit, with real and relatable God-inspired, scriptural wisdom. We all live in the tensions of making choices everyday and watching those choices make us. As you engage the contents of this book, I really feel it will become a lot harder for you to make poor choices in life. I highly recommend the man and the book

Understanding God's plan for our life isn't always easy. Faced with important decisions, how many of us haven't wished sometimes that He would just write the answers clearly in the clouds? Given that He doesn't do that often, Joseph Ola's handy little book, 'Is this Opportunity from God?: 7 Checkpoints for Discerning Divine Opportunities', provides an excellent framework for thinking and praying our way forward. I highly recommend it.

This is a very timely book, and one of the most profound truths that stands out to me is this: "What is good may not be God; but what is God is always and definitely good " Many sincere believers, not sure of what God's Will is concerning an open door before them, ask "Is this opportunity from God?" However, you will discover from this book, like I did, that being sincere is not enough; we must be discerning to divide between what is good and what is God. What you will find in this book are not theories, but life-principles that the writer has embodied and is living by. This is not another book to add to your library, but is one of the books one could go on a retreat with from time to time. Thank you, dear Pastor Joseph Kolawole Ola, for yielding yourself to God and for publishing this timely classic. I highly recommend it Get a copy, read it, embody it and share it

Whatsoever we do, God wants us to prosper-that's God's will for us. However, we have a part to play. This wonderful book by Joseph summarises the message of Psalm 1-to avoid walking in the counsel of the ungodly, standing in the way of sinners, or sitting in the seat of the scornful. We are urged rather to meditate in the Word, day and night. The seven nuggets Joseph shares in this book simplify this message and show us how to live the prosperous life described in the first Psalm. The book makes discerning the right door to walk through very simple. Go and prosper as you follow these marvellous simple steps to victory.
