Opportunities aren’t always divine assignments. In this episode, Mikel explains how obedience—not opportunity—should determine your next step.
Just because a door is open doesn’t mean God opened it. Mikel warns leaders about the cultural obsession with “more”—more opportunities, more platforms, more people—and reveals that the enemy can use good things that aren’t God things to derail purpose. Through his own story of stepping through the wrong door, he emphasizes the importance of obedience as the filter for every opportunity. Rooted in 1 Samuel 15:22, this episode equips you to ask: “Is this obedience or ego?”

Not every open door is from God. Mikel explains that opportunity without obedience becomes distraction—and the enemy often uses good things that aren’t God things. He shares his own season of stepping through the wrong door and the pain that followed. 1 Samuel 15:22 teaches that obedience is better than sacrifice. Before saying yes, ask: “Is this obedience or ego?”
