MEMORISE: I must work the works of him that sent me, while it is day: the night cometh, when no man can work. – John 9:4 (KJV)
BIBLE READING: Ephesians 5:15-17 (KJV)
15 See then that ye walk circumspectly, not as fools, but as wise,
16 Redeeming the time, because the days are evil.
17 Wherefore be ye not unwise, but understanding what the will of the Lord is.
MESSAGE:
Living by the minute simply means making every minute of one’s life count. It involves doing the right thing at the right time. To live by the minute, however, a fellow needs to discover God’s purpose for his or her life and work towards fulfilling it. Beloved, have you discovered God’s plan for your life? If you have, are you working towards fulfilling it?
It is important to note that having big dreams, making ambitious plans, and writing down goals that align with God’s purpose for your life is not enough. It is also crucial to start taking small actions towards those plans now. You can achieve this by breaking down your goals into quarterly action points. Then, you can further break them down into monthly and weekly objectives before breaking them down into daily tasks. Thus, it will be easier to fulfil your quarterly or yearly goals.
Today’s memory verse shows that time is limited; hence, you must work hard now that you’re still young. My dear child, you can hit and exceed your goals and expectations for this year if you are intentional about every minute of your life. I pray that my Daddy will grant you the grace to work towards fulfilling His purpose for your life, in Jesus’ name.
KEY POINT:
Don’t waste time; instead, make each day count.
