    About this ebook

    What I am about to share with you in this book, is what the LORD taught me as a contemporary definition of the David and Goliath scenario, after I had studied Strategic Management at the GIMPA Graduate Management and Leadership School. I can understand now why folks outside the ambit of the church sometimes consider the Bible irrelevant or inapplicable to their lives. This is because it is often not presented within a contemporary context.
    When we make a paradigm shift from merely identifying Goliath as a symbolic representation of Satan, to re-classifying him as the modern day major competitor or challenge we confront in the market place of life, the story introduces incredible insights to launch you into a deeper walk of faith. I believe that, all said and done, the story of 1 Samuel 17:1-58 is all about the boy, David. Opportunities are rear in life. Like David, can you seize your moment? Welcome to a life-changing encounter in God’s Word!

      Acknowledgement

      The LORD God be glorified for his wisdom within us to fulfil every mandate and assignment to our generation.

      I am eternally grateful to God for all the brethren who fired my imagination to transform the initial sermon series into a book. That encouragement is what has been translated from a dream to the reality of this book, SEIZE YOUR MOMENT!

      To Mrs. Abigail Ocansey who constantly said to me, I cannot wait to launch this book, your dream has come true. I deeply appreciate the academic input of Mrs Pat Sappor of Ecobank.

      Mrs. Joyce Danso’s willing support in typing the initial manuscript is registered in the records of heaven. To my family and brethren, who have always believed in the grace of God upon my life, I share the overflowing joy of another landmark.

      TO GOD BE THE GLORY!!!

      Foreword

      Life, it seems, is a paradox. While some people come across great opportunities and are unable to even notice the potential they present, others are easily able to identify life changing opportunities and take the requisite action to ensure promotion and success. Over the year, this situation has replicated itself in various areas of endeavour – politics, business, sports, religion, showbiz and what have you.

      In the life of each individual, it is easy to reflect on the past and identify opportunities that may have been missed in life as well as those that were taken, which brought about instant transformation in one’s career, finances, relationships, ministry and health. Depending on the choices that one has made in over the years, one may look back with a sense of fulfilment or a feeling of disappointment. The key question in today’s fast-paced world is, Do you have the capacity to identify the opportunities life offers and seize destiny transforming moments as they come?

      In this most enjoyable and easily-readable book, Bishop James K. Saah transforms the well-rehearsed Bible encounter between David and Goliath into a corporate battle of varied dimensions. He re-models the various characters in an interesting expose that introduces Goliath as the monopolist with competitive advantage; King Saul, the dysfunctional leader who has lost his shine; and, most importantly, David, the Christian who confronts his challenges and takes advantage of defining opportunities. He traces parallels between David’s performance and that of corporate turnaround heroes like Jack Welch, Mel Gibson, Lou Gerstner and Rudolf Guliani.

      The author does what few are able to do; combine deep insights gained from years of ministry with sharp business acumen, obviously a product of his diverse training and experiences. As you browse through the pages of this book, you will travel a bitter-sweet journey in which you will easily notice opportunities from afar, but also to Seize Your Moment and turn your challenges into opportunities. You will come to the realisation that what you call a problem could be the biggest opportunity of your entire life! You would also be reminded that preparation for the opportunity precedes the identification of the opportunity.

      THE QUESTION OF LIFE

      "The world has the habit of making a way for the man whose words and actions shows that he knows where is going." – Napoleon Hill

      In my formative years, I was always fascinated by stories. There were two favourite sources for the most interesting ones; Bible stories and fairy tales. The most popular ones were that that involved a challenge far bigger than the hero or heroine but which was bravely surmounted, resulting in victory. And in most cases, they lived happily ever after. As far as one
