BE PROFICIENT WITH YOUR TIME | THE MASTER'S PLACE INT'L CHURCH

Monday 18th June, 2018 Korede & Esther Komaiya

There’s an opportune time to do things, a right time for everything on the earth. Ecc 3:1 MSG

The earlier you discover that time is the inexplicable raw material for everything in life, the better for you. Time is your greatest asset in life and your entire life depends on it.

Time is the singular commodity no one can take from you. A genius is not compensated with more of it and a fool is not denied his share of it. God is fair and just with everyone about it. You will never have more time because God has given you all the time there is, 24 hours.

You can’t do anything about your yesterday, it is irretrievably gone, neither can you do anything about your tomorrow, it hasn’t come yet. The only time you can do something about is ‘Today’ and ‘Now’. Yesterday is gone forever and tomorrow remains a mere promise until it comes, so all you have is Today; all you have is Now. Robert Schuller once said “I will never have another ‘Today’ so I will make the best use of my Today”.

There are only two things you can do about time: You are to redeem time (Eph 5:16); and You are to use time productively.

What are you doing with your time now? Do not just spend time, you should invest it. Your destiny is in how you invest your time. When it comes to time, you’ve got to be hard on yourself because it is irrecoverable once it is lost.

God wants your time. He wants you to invest your time; in fellowship with Him, in kingdom service, and in soul winning.

Likewise, a quality time is the greatest gift you can give your spouse, your children, and even your work. People who have a great marriage are the ones who invest their time and energy into having one, and people who have succeeded in their work are those who have given their undivided focus to their tasks.

To maximize your time, you must learn to set priorities, that is, arrange things in their order of importance. Prioritizing will help you ignore what you need to ignore and delegate things you can delegate. Always set your priorities everyday and keep to it. Do more of things that are very important and rewarding and delegate the rest.

ACTION STEP Take some time to list out all the things you have to do today, arrange them in order of importance and focus on those that top the list.

KEEP IN MIND You will never have another ‘Today’ so make the best use of your ‘Today’. Good Morning
