Time is one great thing God has given to man
_____________________________________
You can never gain the “second” you have just lost, it is gone, yes! gone forever. If you lose wealth, you have lost nothing, if you lose your family’s support you have lost nothing, you lose your reputation, you have lost nothing, if you lost respect, you lost nothing, but if you lose “TIME”, you have lost Everything. Many have lost reputation, all their wealth in one year. But they came back restored, rich again.
When a rich man is dying, He doesn’t ask for money, He doesn’t ask for wealth, He doesn’t ask for anything but “TIME”, Time is all he needs.
Time is the unit of Destiny, what ever takes your time takes past of your destiny, it influences you Future. It is the best factor of Production. The quality of your life can never be greater than how you lose your time.
Hear this, satan doesn’t need your money, he doesn’t need your family, he doesn’t need your house, he wants none of those, one thing he desires to steal is your Time. If satan is able to steal your time, you have lost everything, he can take way your house, with time you may be able to get another one. All satan does is that he will get you to be lazy, he will imbibe procrastination into your heart and can manipulate your destiny. There is a deception from satan, mostly lukewarm Christians fall for that, “Come on... there is still more time, you can repent tomorrow, why stress yourself?, take a break! Relax and enjoy the breeze”, it sounds good doesn’t it?🙂
Brother, Sister, Study The Life Of Jesus. You will get to know how he used His time. He never wasted a moment!
The first time we heard about Jesus going into the Temple was when He was a child about 12 years old, we didn’t hear about Him until he commenced his Ministry. What was He doing for 21 years? What was He using His time for?🤔
How was He able to use three years to fulfill the Scriptures, How was He able to finish His ministry within 3 years. If Jesus was to finish His assignment within three years, then he must have used His time very well.
“So He arrived at a Samaritan town called Sychar, near the tract of land that Jacob gave to his son Joseph;
Then a woman from Samaria came to draw water. Jesus said to her, “Give Me a drink”—”
John 4:5, 7 AMP
Now, do you think that Jesus met this woman by chance? By coincidence? Of course not!
In those times, you could hardly see a woman alone going to fetch water, women used to walk in groups. But this woman was isolated, meaning that the people of Samaria held her to be a “leaven”, an outcast, unclean, she was judged by people who were sinners themselves, oppressed. So she went out when no one was around.
Jesus could have been 5 or 3 minutes late, and never had met such woman. It was ordained for Him to meet her (“The Lord your God is in your midst, a mighty one who will save; he will rejoice over you with gladness; he will quiet you by his love; he will exult over you with loud singing.
Behold, at that time I will deal with all your oppressors. And I will save the lame and gather the outcast, and I will change their shame into praise and renown in all the earth. At that time I will bring you in, at the time when I gather you together; for I will make you renowned and praised among all the peoples of the earth, when I restore your fortunes before your eyes,” says the Lord.”
Zephaniah 3:17, 19-20 ESV), the ministry of Jesus was so great that Couldn’t visit every village or town to talk about the Kingdom of Heaven so He had to appoint someone to do that work for Him, the Samaritan woman was chosen. That day she left her pot and became an Evangelist, went to preach the Gospel. Also there was a demon possessed, who had legions of demons, He used to cut himself with sharp rocks and cried in the caves. He served as the immigration officer for the town he was in, he was feared by everybody, before anyone could get to the town, he had to pass through the possessed, so he was the “Jesus” of that town😁. But that day when He met Jesus, He became a testimony, and also an evangelist, a miracle preaching the gospel in that town. The work of Jesus was done there.
This is how Jesus utilized His time, He knew that His time was short, so through wisdom, and by The Spirit, was able to finish all His assignment. He turned demon possessed men into evangelists, He turned I cleaned men and women into evangelists.
If you want to know how to use time wisely, learn from Jesus🙂🙏🏽
Also please look at this;
“But Jesus Himself would often slip away to the wilderness and pray [in seclusion].”
Luke 5:16 AMP
For some current evangelists and preachers or prophets today, that would be a change to show off🙂, isn’t it? Jesus had done many miracles, and there were many people left for Him to Heal, but Jesus had a “Schedule” Jesus had “Daily Tasks”, it was time for Him to go and kneel before His Father. The scripture says that He often “Slipped Away” to go and pray🙂, wow. Do we take our daily tasks seriously?
Look, every one has a vision, a vision is the big picture of your tomorrow. But you vision cannot just come to pass in its complexity. It must be broken into “Goals” and goals must be broken into “Daily Tasks”. Your commitment to your daily tasks leads to the achievement of goals, and achievement of goals will lead you to your vision coming to pass.
This is what Jesus had in Mind, so He would leave everything and slip away to go and Pray. Your time is your Life, use it well🙏🏽
He said to His disciples, “The Hour Has Come That The Son Of Man Should Be Glorified”🥺 It was time for His crucifixion, but what could He do? He had to surrender.
But Jesus could have said “I have many years in from of me. I can die for mankind later when I’m 40, I’m too young to die”, He didn’t. He said “the hour has come”.
Time is a gift from God, please let us use it wisely. Amen🙏🏽
