The Use of TIME

in #steemchurch7 years ago

Every human is limited to time. We all know that nobody will live forever and that means we all have a specific time that we will live on earth. The truth is that if every man knows the length of the time on earth, he still would not be satisfied with it and will definitely want more. Even if he manage to get his life span extended to double of what it was, he would still want more. In other words TIME is never enough for us. But I tell you today that time is always more than enough for us, if not to do everything we want, then to do the most important things. And as Christians, the first priority of these important things, will be to seek God diligently while we are still here on earth. This way, we can perfectly use our time wisely.

TIME MANAGEMENT

Knowing that we all don't have the same life span, and that our life span which differs for each person is measured in the same way. That is seconds, minutes hours, days, weeks, months and years. We then have a point where we have equal measure of time with other persons but different resource added to it. That means the way we spend it is very important. For instance, a man of high class in any society has more resources than a common man. He can achieve many more things on earth easily faster than a common man can. This because of the resources he is privileged to have. But the inequality turns to equality when it comes to seeking and serving God. So no matter what way we chase prosperity on earth, it shouldn't be our priority because we were clearly instructed by God in the Bible that we should seek him first before any other thing.

"Seek the Kingdom of God above all else, and live righteously, and he will give you everything you need".
Matthew 6:33 (NLV)

This means that the best way for a Christian to manage time is to plan a life around the priority to seek and serve God.

PLANNING

Time is a tool God created for us to mark the steps by which we progress in life. But mind you He is not in any way a subject to time. He existed before time and the way we view time is different from the we He does. But He does things at the perfect and right time.

"But do not forget this one thing, dear friends: With the Lord a day is like a thousand years, and a thousand years are like a day".
2 Peter 3:8 (NIV)

"Good people pass away; the godly often die before their time. But no one seems to care or wonder why. No one seems to understand that God is protecting them from the evil to come".
Isaiah 57:1(NLV)

That means as we are his representatives on earth with limited time, we should do the right things at the right time. Thus we need to plan well. There is a saying that "those who fail to plan, plan to fail". This is true because the best way to manage time is to plan beforehand how you want to spend it. So planning is as equally important when it come to perfect use of time or time management.

ACT WITH TIME

All the plan we may have will come to nothing when we don't act it. It is true that things may not go according to plan, but that should not be a hindrance to us to continue to act according to our plans. The important use of time is seen in our actions. Let us plan well and act well to give it meaning.

To save time, learn to Write down goals.

Now that you know where your time is going, how would you like it to be spent? Mainly, what do you want to change about your current routine? If you noticed any wasted time, start by making a goal to address it

I think that contribution will do

Thanks for telling us about time today

God's Word advises us to use our time wisely because He knows that there are many things in life that can distract us from what truly matters. Do not waste your time so that you look back with regret


Everyone has 24 hours in day

What differentiates us is how we put it into use

We need to be productive with our time

Warm regards

Time of course is not a luxury of man, it's limited and that's the reason why as Christians we must always must take coigniscance of the time, there is a time where we will have the vigour and zeal to preach God's word at some other time we may become too old and unable to do so, that's why we must do things at their time and at their season

And as Christians, the first priority of these important things, will be to seek God diligently while we are still here on earth. This way, we can perfectly use our time resourcefully. We must know that we all don't have the same life span, and that our life span which differs for each person is measured in the same way.

Time waits for no body, so it's important to act fast, act wise, act smart and call on Christ for support because we can't do it alone.

Thanks for sharing, God bless you more.

God's Assertion urges us to use our possibility deliberately in light of the way that He understands that there are various things in life that can redirect us from what really matters. Do whatever it takes not to misuse your shot so you recollect with regret

Time is life and life is about man, we should set objectives for ourselves. There is a truism that time sit tight for no man. Begin arranging towards what you need to accomplished at this point

Those who use their time wisely will be honoured.
Worship him the lord in truth and in spirit for he the Lord is perfect for every one who is ready to follow his foot steps and make him the only way.
Sincier worship will guarante us to gain from the living God and the almighty saviour.
Obey him for he is the lord of all creatures he has the power to do all things according to his wish and his power,
Our lives should be directed towards the right part and the ways which will place the saviour .
Things which er do everyday should always be inclined by his words and his sacred direction.
The situation of men are so many but that doesn't mean that God will not attend to all of them one by one.
His eyes are too far to see the unseen , his ear is too large to hear all your complains .
Prayer is the only thing which can save us from all sorts of evil and keep us moving and making Gods presence be with us.

Moses prays, “Teach us to number our days, that we may gain a heart of wisdom” (Psalm 90:12).

A good way to gain wisdom is to learn to live each day with an eternal perspective. Our Creator has set eternity in our hearts (Ecclesiastes 3:11).

Knowing that we will have to give an account to the One who gives us time should motivate us to use it well. C. S. Lewis understood this: “If you read history you will find that the Christians who did the most for the present world were just those who thought most of the next.”

Time flies, but the good news is, we are the pilot. So let's manage our time by making priorities.
