BE PRUDENT WITH TIME

TOPIC: BE PRUDENT WITH TIME.
TEXT: EPHESIANS 5:14-17
Memory verse: EPHESIANS 5:16 Redeeming the time because the days are evil.
Many people believe that they will enjoy their life before they will come back to God But Bible says in Ecclesiastes 11:9 Rejoice O young man in thy youth and let the heart cheer thee in the days of thy youth and walk in the sight of thine eyes but know thou that for all these things God will bring thee into judgment.
Life is time and time wait for nobody, a time waste can not be regain again and To God a thousand years is like a single day so the time you spend on earth is not important to God it is the way you used your time for God and the way you spend life Revelation 20:12 and I saw the dead small and great stand before God and the books were opened and another book was opened which is the book of life and the dead judge out of those things which were written in the books according to their works.
Because of the brevity of life on earth, there is a need for everyone to be prudent with time. Time is to be invested into every purpose of God for our life and not to be used for useless things. It is a great wisdom for everyone to operate daily with sense of time⏱. Life is all about what you can achieve for your creator within the period of ones existence. Nobody have eternity, plant what you have to do for God now. You must attend to all issues with sense of urgency. Do you know that anytime you do a particular assignment at the appropriate time⏱, Heaven applaud you . Therefore see urgency in all the works God has given to you. Or are you expected to be part of a program or project, don't postpone your involvement. Rise up to do the expected and the results and the reward will amaze you. Don't waste that second,minute or hour to delay your involvement now. Do the expected as early as possible and you stand the chance to be blessed..
Don't waste your time if you do time will also waste you and no amount of money can buy time,  remember no forgiveness in heaven.

DO NOT BE DISCOURAGED BY YOUR PRESENT SITUATION JUST BELIEF GOD IS PERFECT. 

A king love hunting so sometimes he liked to go to forest with his servant because he was once a great hunter before he becomes king. 

King had a male servant who, in all circumstances always said to him; My king, do not be discouraged because everything God does is perfect, no mistakes. One day, they went hunting and a wild animal attacked the king, the servant managed to kill the animal but couldn't prevent his majesty for losing a finger. Furious and without showing gratitude, the King said; if God was good, I would not have been attacked and lost one finger. The servant replied, 'despite all these things, I can only tell you that God is good and everything He does is perfect, He is never wrong'. Outraged by the response, the king ordered the arrest of his servant. While being taken to prison, he told the king again, God is Good & Perfect. Another day, the king left alone for another hunt and was captured by savages who use human beings for sacrifice. On the altar, the savages found out that the king didn't have one finger in place, he was released because he was considered not "complete" to be offered to the gods. On his return to the palace, he ordered the release of his servant and said; My friend, God was really good to me. I was almost killed but for lack of a single finger, I was let go. But I have a question; If God is so good, why did He allow me to put you in prison? His servant replied; My king, if I had not been put in prison, I would have gone with you, and would have been sacrificed, because I have no missing finger. Everything God does is perfect, He is never wrong. Often we complain about life, and the negative things that happen to us, forgetting that everything happens for a purpose. God knows why you are reading this message today, please bless someone with it by sharing it. God is good and perfect!!

  My dear friend, a good attitude will determine your altitude.  When you look at your life, career, job or family life, what do you say?  Do you praise God? Do you blame the Satan?  A good attitude towards God makes Him move on your behalf.  Just sit down and say, Today , I am thankful I had a peaceful sleep, I am thankful I am alive with possibilities, I am thankful I have a roof over me, I am thankful I have a job, I am thankful that I have Family and Friends.  Above all, I am thankful that I have God in my life .  Be blessed and don't be envious or shocked when others are prospering because you don't know what they have been through to get there (test, trials and tribulation) so thank God for what you have.  "Little is much when God is in it. It Is Well With God's grace.   Touch someones life with this message if God is for us, who can be against us. 

DO YOU HOLD GOD OR IT IS GOD THAT HOLD YOU?

DO YOU HOLD GOD OR IT IS GOD THAT  HOLD YOU ? 

You bless for taking part of your time to read the word of God. 

If you can sit down and think deeply by yourself and looked at your journey and look ahead to where you are going you will realized that you need to walk with God. 

The simple question is that do you hold God or it is that holds you? 

life is like a mysterious  journey that nobody knows how it is going end and when it is going to end or where is going to end. 

As a Christian you need christ because you can walk alone and succeed, many believed that when they are wealthy they are succeed in life, no, that human thinking, to become world richest doesn't mean you are succeed in life,  remember this life is just a matter of time you have a place you are going that you will spend more years  than the number of years you spent on earth. 

That means you need to walk with God and those that walk with God always reach their destination and before you can reach your destination God needs to hold you because if God didn't hold you you can lost at any time but if God hold he will not let you lost  Because many things can draw you back. 2 corinthians 5:7  for we walk by faith not by sight, so you have to have ability to determined that you will not look back. 

In Genesis 5:24 And Enoch walked with God:and he was not: for God took him

Enoch walk with God in spirit and Enoch is like a signpost of God before God took him,

Galatians 5:16 This I say then, walk in the spirit and ye shall not fulfill the lust of the flesh, ( God is spirit you also need to walk with God in spirit as Christians if Holy Spirit is not guiding you or if Holy Spirit is not directing you God can't hold you) 

Micah 6:8 he hath showed thee, o man, what is good and what doth the LORD require of thee but to do justly and to love, mercy and to walk humbly with thy God.

Deuteronomy 8:6 Therefore thou shalt keep the commandments of the LORD thy God to walk in his ways and fear him.

Before God can hold you,  you needs to keep all his commandments always believed  that you can keep it because it what you strongly believe you will do you will do and to fear God is strong tools to escape from the spirit of sin,

Psalm 115:11 ye that fear the LORD Trust in the LORD: He is their help and their shield. 

As a good Christian you need to fear God it is when you fear him you will be free from devil, the reason God must hold you is that your way to succeed in life is like you put small boat in the middle of a sea and strong wind can not let you move you needs God to hold you and go with you. 

Isaiah 41:13 for I the LORD thy God will hold the right hand, saying unto thee fear not I will help thee.
