HOW DO WE REDEEM OUR TIME

See the hand-out on Time Management (on the notes below) from Marjor ie Kinnee, Guest Writer , New Li fe Apostol ic Church

Essentially create good habits and it becomes your character

1. Jesus Christ was often seen waking up early to pray –Mt 14:23, Mk 1:35, 6:46, Luke 5:16

2. And always working with people though He had his plan for the day or customary things He does – Luke 4:16

He accommodated people into his schedule for each day. He planned the last Supper and his movements and also had time for unplanned encounters like Jarius’s father and Bartimaeus

He said I must be about my father’s business while it’s day

The old saying, "Plan your work, work your plan" is important for getting results and creating good habits in life

HOW DO WE REDEEM OUR TIME

Schedule your time (daily/weekly etc) but work with God, be sensitive & flexible for God given opportunitiesThe Good Samaritan had room for God’s opportunity which the Levite and the Priest didn’t have time for.The 5 wise virgins had extra oil (the fruit of the Spirit) to reach God’s pursuit for them

PLAN YOUR DAY/ YEAR/ FUTURE BUT HAVE ROOM FOR THE

UNEXPECTED OPPORTUNITIES THAT COMES ALONG
