Maximizing the “so called” wasted time

 

Text: Ephesians 5:15-16 (KJV)

¹⁵See then that ye walk circumspectly, not as fools, but as wise,¹⁶ Redeeming the time, because the days are evil.

In Ecclesiastes.3:1- To everything there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven. We are told that there is time for everything, and this is the time for us to wake up and maximize or make good use of the time and season given to us. Many of us are so relaxed, wasting our precious time while some say, “there is no time”, but we must stop this attitude so as to invest our time wisely. We know time is a life currency, and when it is well invested, it makes a profit. We are in desperate times, and we must make good use of every chance you get. Psalms 90:12- So teach us to number our days, that we may apply our hearts unto wisdom. There is a need for a step-to-step adventure if we must redeem our time well. We meet people who have no regard for time. And I know a lot of us are not comfortable with such an attitude.

We must learn to be TIME CONSCIOUS, so as not to waste the valuable time given to us. We need to learn to have a schedule, work with it, and not give excuses or procrastinate. As a believer, we should not work with “African Time” as it is popularly described. We should always prioritize our day as it makes life more interesting. We should rather have JESUS TIME as He made maximal use of His 33 years of life here on earth. Although the days are evil, we should be wise and intelligent to take advantage of every opportunity that comes our way. This is the best moment to invest our time as to yield results rather than mere busywork with a barren pursuit. So I urge you today to be conscious of the time you have because you do not know when it will be taken from you.

PRAYER POINTS:

1.Father, please help us to walk and live by your purpose, in Jesus name.

2. Oh Lord, please help me to understand your will so as not to give excuses for the time given to me, in Jesus name.
