The use of Time - 1989
SOME THOUGHTS ON TIME
-Time
is one of the greatest gifts that God has given to man
-God
is so good that He has given every human being the same number of hours each
day, that is, twenty – four.
-God
has no favorites as far as time concerned.
He has not given some people ten hours a day, others fifteen, and others
twenty four.
-Time
is a very perishable gift.
-People
may vary in natural and spiritual endowments, but what ultimately makes a
difference between them at the human level is how they used the time that God
gave them.
-Your
time is not yours. It is God given. It is God vested.
-Much
money can be gained in a short time. Time cannot be gained that way.
-Every
second, minute, hour or day that is lost is lost forever.
-A
fool may waste money but the greatest fool wastes time.
-The
easiest way to lose time is to do it one second at a time.
-I
once met a fool, a great fool, the greatest fool. He wasted a second every
second and soon found out that in a month of thirty days, he had wasted 259,000
seconds.
-The
enemy ensures that he steals your time one second at a time and, in that way,
prevents you from realizing it. It is neat and skillful stealing.
-The
person who wastes fifteen minutes every hour will waste twenty five years if he
lives to be one hundred years old.
-A
man who sleeps eight hours a day and lives to be seventy five has actually
spent one third of his entire life sleeping, that is, twenty five years.
-Those
who give God a tithe and an offering of their time are putting God to the test
positively. He will respond to the test and do bless them in long life,
destroying their enemies, in good health, making them younger and stronger.
-Wiser
people give God a first tithe of their time, then a second tithe and then a
third tithe and so on; in that way they make even greater progress.
Confess
the following verses at least twice a week
-Time
is one of the most precious gifts that God has given me.
-Anything
that wastes my time is an enemy. I must get rid of it.
-Anyone
who wastes my time is an enemy. I must avoid him.
-If
anyone is wasting my time, I must say so at once.
-All
who love me should help me to conserve my time and use it properly.
-All
who love me should remind me of any occasion during which I am being undisciplined with time.
-I
will make a time table accordingly and with full force, I will never let anyone
to come to disturb it. (speak out your time table)
-I
refuse to accept the spirit of tiredness while there is still strength in me to
work. I refuse all premature evidence of tiredness.
-I
refuse to repeat what I heard from one person to another, since this will
consume time uselessly and since what I heard may be false. I refuse to become
a spreader of false ideas.
-I
refuse to listen to all who are telling stories about things that others said.
I refuse to join a group of people who are chatting purposelessly.
-I
refuse to say anything negative about anyone to anyone else. It is committing
two mistakes/sins: mistake of wasting time and mistake of gossiping.
-I
will help each one who is closely associated with me to use his/her time so as
to win.
-I
realize that the accomplishment of my life’s goal depends largely on how well I
use my time.
-Let
my omniscient God be the help and guide in my confession in Jesus name. Amen!
