Ephesians 5verse 16: ‘Redeeming the time, because the days are evil.’

You are welcome back to our discussion on making the best use of time. I am sure you were blessed by the introductory part of this message in the last lesson. Today we want to go a step further in analyzing other reasons why you need to make good use of your time. This discipline of using time wisely will serve profitably well and also help you to live life to the fullest of your potential and capacity. I earnestly pray that this will be your testimony in the name of Jesus Christ. So without much ado, let’s examine other reasons for redeeming time.

WHY YOU NEED TO MAKE GOOD USE OF TIME?

4. Because Time lost May never be regained again. This is because time is a perishable commodity so if I were you I would make the most of it now. As the saying goes: A stitch in time saves nine! And by the way what does this really mean? It means if you sort out a problem immediately, it may save extra work later. So why procrastinate or delay action? Do what you need to do now without delay or hesitation. This will surely put you at a great advantage at the end of the day. So may you never miss your moment. Heb12v17.5. Because Life is to be lived in Seasons. Just like in the animal kingdom, there is a time for mating, migration, procreation etc. There is a time for doing certain things. Timing is everything in Life. Eccl3v1; Gal4v4. Life is not to be lived anyhow. You are supposed to be doing certain things and to be at certain places per time. This is why you need to make good use of your time. Take a good look at the following:

-Doing the Right Things at the Right Time= Results 

-Doing the Right Things at the Wrong Time= Resistance 

-Doing the Wrong Things at the Right Time= Rejection 

-Doing the Wrong Things at the Wrong Time= Disaster or Failure 

So my dear friends, if you understand the seasons of life, you will make good use of your time. So how would you rate yourself with regards to the seasons of life? Are you doing the right things in the season of life you are currently now? Can you recognize the season of life you are in at the moment? The answers you give to these questions, will determine to a great extent or not if you will succeed in maximizing time very well. I pray that Time will work for you and not against you in Jesus name amen.Pro10v5: 30v25.

6. Because what you make out of life is greatly determined by how you use your time. So my dear friends, do you invest your time wisely or waste it? How are you using your time? How you engage your time will determine who, where and what you will end up with at the end of the day! So the ball is in your hands and your court! The power is in your hands. So use it wisely and productively. Stop wasting or whiling away time. Start engaging meaningfully and productively. Trust me, you will be amazed by the remarkable and undeniable progress that you will make! I see this becoming your reality from today as you take full responsibility for your time. Pro24v27.

I believe that you were blessed by today’s lesson. Join me in the next lesson for the continuation! You are blessed and highly favored in Jesus name, amen.
