MY FRIENDS, WILL A MAN OR WOMAN ROB GOD OF HIS TIME?

My Friends, as we move closer and closer to the second coming of our Savior, Satan will somehow be at the forefront of prioritizing our time in such a subtle, cunning and unsuspecting Hourglass Sand Timer Beach Sunriseway, that our relationship with God, becomes secondary.

In addition, once we allow this to happen we are then not allowing God’s spirit to guide us into accomplishing within our time frame, what is more important to God. Consistent with this, we must also begin to recognize the urgency in God’s agenda in regards to the closeness of His second coming with what time we have left in our probationary period from birth to death.

Remember with such a short time on this earth once God’s Spirit has transformed our character into the character of God and we have become God’s chosen, then our time must become all about Him and His will in finishing up His agenda on earth.

And if that is not the criteria in how we value our time, than we must re-evaluate how serious we are about our Salvation and eternal life. Jesus, our example never created such a hecticgod schedule that He lost sight of what His mission was as He approached Calvary.

In Christ 33 years on this earth as He carried out His earthly ministry, Jesus spent time praying, teaching, helping, healing and interacting daily with men and women from every social, educational, and economic class.

So like Christ Their must be a passion for the use of our time and how we share the love of  “Our Father which art in heaven” as we spread the good news of the gospel to a world that has lost hope. Our love for God must be absolute and how we spend His time.

Psalms 90:12 (KJV) teaches us “to number our days, that we may apply our hearts unto wisdom.” Satin is at his best when he can utilize our time for his agenda and when this happens, we rob God by taking His precious time and squandering it away on things that are not eternal.

Malachi 3:8-9 (KJV) tells us, “Will a man rob God? Yet ye have robbed me. But ye say, wherein have we robbed thee? And I say it is not just about our tithe and offerings. But also how we rob God of His time and doing His will.

John Maxwell summarized for us this powerful lesson on sacrifice when he writes: “Giving is the highest level of living.” Perhaps you have instead heard it said that “to live is to give”. If untitled-copythis is true, and Christ made painfully clear He believes it is, what does it say about the extent to which you or I are really living and using our time?

Our mission as Christians is “to love God absolutely and love others sacrificially.” Isn’t that what Christ epitomized upon the cross? What His death and salvation were given for, that we may live likewise as our focus forever remains “steward’s of God’s time.

“The Bible gives no endorsement to idleness. It is the greatest curse that afflicts our world. Time squandered can never be recovered. We cannot call back even one moment. The only way in which we can redeem our time is by making the most of that which remains, by being co-workers with God in His great plan of redemption.  (Ellen G. White Christ’s Object Lessons)

 

So friends stay focused, remain faithful, love one another and endure till the end and never forget to STUDY&PRAY
