Time Management
Ephesians 5:15-17 See then that you walk circumspectly, not as fools but as wise, redeeming the time, because the days are evil. Therefore do not be unwise, but understand what the will of the Lord is.
Time is the measure of a man's existence, it is man's most precious resource. It is perishable and irreplaceable. God in his grace has given us all the same amount – 24 hours per day. How we live our life from birth till death is directly related to how wisely we use the time we have.
Once a child is born, his/her life becomes timed from infancy, childhood to adolescence and eventually adulthood and are preprogrammed with several life activities which must come after the other so as to guarantee success, if any time space is missed, then failure and obstruction of success sets in.
So also in the ways and pattern God designed our life, everything we will ever become in life and in him are placed with time... And He expect us to respond to each phases of life per time.
God has committed so many things into your hands that ought to fall into their respective places according to their time frame, but how well are you managing the time God has given?
It was a time God called out moses to be used as a deliverer of the children of Israel from the land of slavery, he was about wasting God's time when he began to complain of his inability to speak well and fear of pharoah, but God helped him managed his time so as not to miss it.
Time management with God's resources is the best way to operate successfully under the grace of the living God.
To everything on earth there is time... Ecclesiastes 3:1 To every thing there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven: everything that a man will do under the heaven has been programmed in time by God.
Has God told you to start a business but you felt there is little or no resources, so you stayed back?... You are only wasting your time and opportunity God has set in place.
Have you been called to peach the gospel but you have kept postponing?, those you ought to meet in the journey of your ministry has already been reprogrammed to another responsible servant's timeline... You miss the souls you ought to save and also miss the blessings you ought to have received.
You may have been told by God to bless another, but you are still contemplating on either to do it or not... If you fail to do it at the time given by God, another will do it. It is you that will miss the blessing.
An opportunity lost can never be regained, so also time wasted in the presence of God... Get down to business and manage your time effectively as God has given you grace.
God has all time to wait... He's infinite, but you don't have all the time... Your life has a timeline... Once it reaches the end.. You are gone.
Be like the children of Issachar who understood time 1 Chronicles 12:32 And of the children of Issachar, which were men that had understanding of the times, to know what Israel ought to do; the heads of them were two hundred; and all their brethren were at their commandment.
Check you life today and measure how much time you have wasted before God.
God bless you.
