There is an adage that says Time is money.I don't think it's only used by Africans, pretty much everyone uses it to address someone or when we are been delayed.We use it in our daily conversations. It's has become part of us that we have forgotten the importance and meaning and value of Time. Money and Time are two different things, with different features as well.
TIME IS THE MOST PRECIOUS THING IN THE WORLD, it's value cannot be over emphasized, it's value cannot be concluded, it's not created by men but by nature, which is God. How come Time is the most valuable thing?.Lets first define time according to dictionary.Time is a component quantity of various measurements used to sequence events, to compare the duration of events or the intervals between them, and to quantify rates of change of quantities in material reality or in the conscious experience.So many professors and religious leaders,scholars etc have tried to define it but its concept and existence still remains a mystery to everyone.
I am not trying to argue about what others say about time.I do not want to know what the philosophers say about time and even the religious scholars but all i hold on to is the bible version of time,there you GOD definition of time and so:A Time for Everything
3 For everything there is a season, and la time for every matter under heaven:
a time to plant, and a time to pluck up what is planted;
a time to break down, and a time to build up;
a time to mourn, and a time to odance;
a time to embrace, and a time to rrefrain from embracing;
a time to keep, and a time to tcast away;
a time to vkeep silence, and a time to speak;
a time for war, and a time for peace.
9 What xgain has the worker from his toil? 10 I have seen ythe business that zGod has given to the children of man to be busy with. 11 He has amade everything beautiful in its time. Also, he has put eternity into man’s heart, yet so that he cannot bfind out what God has done from the beginning to the end. 12 I perceived that there iscnothing better for them than to be joyful and to ddo good as long as they live; 13 also ethat everyone should eat and drink and take pleasure in all his toil—this is fGod’s gift to man.
14 I perceived that whatever God does endures forever; gnothing can be added to it, nor anything taken from it. God has done it, so that people fear before him. 15 That which is, halready has been; that which is to be, already has been; and God iseeks what has been driven away.
TIME CANNOT BE RECOVERED WHEN IT HAS BEEN LOST.My brothers and sisters lets utilize the time GOD has apportioned to us all.Time does not wait for anybody.When i was in school my chemistry teacher always told us that yesterday is gone and it can never come back again.He said as yesterday was 2nd of June 2016 and it has passed and that never in this world again will we ever see 2nd of June 2016.WE ONLY HAVE CONTROL OVER TODAY.So how we go about our normal business and the pace in which do the things we do should be influenced by time.And mostly the world has change drastically,it is deteriorating by second and our only refuge is in GOD.Time worth more than money,the more we dedicate our life into worldly and material things,and forgetting the heavenly things,then we are headed the wrong way.Most of us has said to our self,that we will have more time for GOD when we are comfortable enough but lets remember TIME IS AN ENEMY,except you chase it and maximize it ,it will outrun us.GOD is calling us into his marvelous light why not heed to this call to freedom.All the toiling will amount to nothing some day.The Vanity of Toil
18 I hated yall my toil in which I toil under the sun, seeing that I must zleave it to the man who will come after me, 19 and who knows whether he will be wise or a fool? Yet he will be master of all for which I toiled and used my wisdom under the sun. This also is vanity. 20 So I aturned about and gave my heart up to despair bover all the toil of my labors under the sun, 21 because sometimes a person who has toiled with wisdom and knowledge and skill must leave everything to be enjoyed by someone who did not toil for it. This also is vanity and a great evil. 22 What has a man from call the toil and striving of heart with which he toils beneath the sun? 23 For dall his days are full of sorrow, and his ework is a vexation. Even in the night his heart does not rest. This also is vanity.ecl 2;18.
Now i leave you with my favorite bible verse. I have observed something else under the sun. The fastest runner doesn't always win the race, and the strongest warrior doesn't always win the battle. The wise sometimes go hungry, and the skillful are not necessarily wealthy. And those who are educated don't always lead successful lives. It is all decided by chance, by being in the right place at the right time.ecc 9;11.
MAXIMIZE THE USE OF YOUR TIME,JESUS IS WAITING
