TEXT: EPHESIANS 5:15-16
The word of God advised us in Ephesians 5:15-16 that we
should walk as wise and not as fools, redeeming the time because the days are
evil.
People are fond of saying “I am just doing this or that to
kill the time.” Doing anything to kill the time means a waste of time; you
cannot achieve any meaningful result when you are killing the time. Your time
is so important that you should not waste a second of it engaging in an
unprofitable thing because a second wasted cannot be regained.
Every tick of the clock is taking away your God given
years on earth. That is why we should engage our time wisely, because we don’t
know when we will finish our race on earth. Time is an investment; if you
invest it rightly, you will reap the reward, so also if you invest your time
wrongly.
Redeeming the time shows that you are walking as wise and
not as fools that are killing the time, in fact they are not killing the time
but their potentials and their future!
Those that redeem their time engage their time in things
that will bring out the potentials that God has deposited in their lives. They
invest their time wisely so that no second or a minute is being wasted. The
difference between time killers and time redeemers is that, time killers do not
care about how their time is being spent, because their time is meaningless to
them, so at the end of the day they have nothing to show for it. However with
time redeemers, every minute counts! They engage their minds, hands, and
thoughts in things that will sprout out the potentials in them. They take
inventory of their daily achievements, because they understand that the way you
spend your time, will determine your future.
There are so many ways these days that people are killing
their time, these are: spending time talking on the phone, surfing the internet
for things that add no value to their lives, spending hours watching Television
and movies, sleeping for too long and things like that. By the time they finish
all these; better part of the 24 hours has been spent on things that have not
imparted their lives. Remember that some people spent their time to invent the
phones, Televisions, games and other things that you are wasting your time on.
Make use of your own time so that you can leaver a good legacy behind.
The seed of greatness in you cannot become a mighty tree
if you don’t nurture it to grow. God the seed in you, but you need to water and
nurture it for the seed to become visible for people to see.
If our time is not spent well, the seeds that God planted
in us would remain seeds, but if you use your time wisely; the seed will become
a mighty tree. It takes hard work and time consciousness for any seed of
greatness to sprout up for the world to see.
Walk as wise and not as fools, redeem your time rather
than killing your time. Time killers are killing their destinies, time
redeemers are building their destinies. Use your time wisely; take stock of
your daily achievement. Set goals on a daily, weekly, and monthly basis. Make
strategies to achieve your goals, and strive to reach your goals.
