STEEMCHURCH: TIME

Ephesians 5:15-16”See then that ye walk circumspectly, not as fools, but as wise: Redeeming the time, because the days are evil.”

In life, time is a important factor of achievement in any venture or project and even moreso, achievement cannot be measured without time. Time has become a frame whereby fulfilment, success and accomplishments are measured in our world today. God has blessed us with time and the pleasant thing is that we all have the same amount of time to fulfill any of our accomplishment we so desire. Unfortunately, we do not have the same sense of appreciation of time and the accomplishments possible within it the importance of making the most of time cannot be overemphasized. The Bible reveals that " to see that we walk circumspectly",meaning to be cautious of all that is pertinent to your life's success. The Bible employs that we should be thoughtful and vigilant and not as fools.
As Christians, we should walk carefully and with wisdom because it requires wisdom to be thoughtful and careful to consider the circumstances that interplay to become successful in life. God's wisdom should make us walk carefully

1 Corinthians 1:28-30
"God chose the lowly things of the world, and the things that are despised, and the things that don’t exist, that he might bring to nothing the things that exist,"
"that no flesh should boast before God."
"Because of him, you are in Christ Jesus, who was made to us wisdom from God, and righteousness and sanctification, and redemption:"

To Redeem time is to simply find the purpose for which we spend our time and fulfil it. Every time is meant for something in particular and something attached to it. Like the Bible says, "There is time to sleep, and there is time to wake up and work". To apportion the time for sleep for play is an abuse of time and purpose. A good and rich sense of purpose comes from the supply of wisdom. The Bible speaks of the importance of taking control of our time before speaking of redeeming the time as one leads to the other. Wisdom is profitable to those that seek it and another reason for the importance of redeeming our time is because the days are evil. By Redeeming time, we watch our steps and when learn to do the right thing by the right time. .
