MAXIMIZING YOUR TIME EPHESIANS 5:15-17

WHAT THE BIBLE HAS TO SAY ABOUT MANAGING TIME R86, 400 DEPOSITING INTO YOUR ACCOUNT EVERYDAY

THAT IS EXACTLY WHAT GOD DOES WITH YOU EVERY 24 HOURS HE GIVES YOU 86 400 SECONDS EVERY DAY

IF YOU LIVE TO BE 70 YEARS OLD…..

LIFE COMES FROM GOD SO LIFE IS A TRUST

EVERYTHING YOU HAVE IN YOUR LIFE IS A GIFT FROM GOD

ALL THAT WE HAVE IS 70 OR 80 YEARS HERE ON EARTH THAT’S NOT A LOT REALLY

YOUR REWARDS ARE IN HEAVEN

THE PROBLEM IS NOT WITH TIME IT’S NOT A LACK OF TIME THE PROBLEM IS WITH OUR CHOICES.

WE ALL HAVE THE EXACT SAME AMOUNT OF TIME WE ALL HAVE 168 HOURS A WEEK

THE POWER OF CHOICE IS IN YOUR HANDS

GOD WILL GUIDE US IN OUR CHOICES

“Teach Us”

EPHESIANS 5:15 “Be very careful, then, how you live – not as unwise but as wise, making the most of every opportunity, because the days are evil. Therefore do not be foolish, but understand what the Lord’s will is.

1. ANALYSE YOU NEED TO SLOW DOWN OR EVEN STOP AND TAKE A GOOD LOOK AT ALL THAT YOU ARE DOING

2. IT’S LIKE IN MONEY, YOU NEED A CONTROL (BUDGET)

WHERE DID MY TIME GO?

WRITE DOWN WHAT YOU DID AND HOW MUCH TIME IT TOOK WRITE DOWN WHAT YOU DID AND HOW MUCH TIME IT TOOK. IT’S GOING TO BE BORING AND TEDIOUS, BUT JUST DO IT FOR A FEW DAYS.

IS GOD PLEASED WITH HOW I’M USING MY TIME?

PEOPLE WHO ARE SICK UNDERSTAND THE NEED TO WATCH WHAT THEY EAT

2. PRIORITIZE WISDOM IS INVOLVED. “DO NOT BE FOOLISH” YOU CAN MAKE FOOLISH CHOICES UNDERSTAND WHAT GOD’S WILL IS

WHAT IS GOD’S WILL FOR YOU? WHAT DOES HE WANT YOU TO DO WITH YOUR LIFE?

GOD HAS 5 PURPOSES FOR YOUR LIFE WORSHIP DISCIPLESHIP FELLOWSHIP MINISTRY EVANGELISM

WORSHIP THE FIRST THING IS TO KNOW GOD, AND WORSHIP HIM.

2. THE SECOND THING GOD WANTS YOU TO DO WITH YOUR LIFE IS HE WANT YOU TO GROW UP

FELLOWSHIP 3. THE THIRD PURPOSE GOD HAS FOR YOUR LIFE IS TO TOUCH LIVES

MINISTRY 4. THE FOURTH THING HE WANTS YOU TO DO IS TO SERVE NEEDS – MINISTRY GOD HAS GIVEN YOU GIFTS AND ABILITIES SO THAT YOU CAN EDIFY AND BUILD OTHERS UP

5. THE FIFTH PURPOSE OF LIFE IS TO SHARE CHRIST

OPTING OUT FROM ANY ONE OF THESE WILL MEAN THAT YOU’RE LIVING LESS THAN WHAT YOU ARE MADE FOR

WHEN YOU HAVE YOUR FOCUS RIGHT, IT ACTUALLY SIMPLIFIES YOUR LIFE

WHEN JESUS SAYS IN MATT 6:33 HE IS ASKING US TO PRIORITIZE OUR LIVES. & HIS RIGHTEOUSNESS…”

LEARN TO SAY NO! YOU CAN’T PLEASE EVERYBODY YOUR RESPONSIBILITY IS TO PLEASE GOD.

I HAVE JUST ENOUGH TIME TO DO GOD’S WILL
