Bible Texts: Eph.5:14-17, 1Cor.15:33, Rom.12:1-3, Matt.6:22, Jn.7:9-11, Is.43:18-19, 2Cor.5:20, 2Tim.4:7-8, Philps.3:14, Ps.1:1-3
We give all the glory and praise to God alone for bringing us to the 11th month of 2024, with one month to close the year. But there is a commitment you must make to maximize the remaining days of the year, bringing glory and praise to Jesus Christ. And that is found in Ephesians chapter 5.
Wherefore, he saith awake thou that sleepest, and arise from the dead, and Christ shall give thee light. See then that ye walk circumspectly, not as fools but as wise, redeeming the time because the days are evil. Wherefore, be ye not unwise, but understanding what the will of the Lord is (Eph.5:14-17)
The Scripture says that you should awake and walk wisely by making the most of your time, which also means redeeming the time because the days are evil. This means that you must not waste the remaining days of this year but invest your life by doing all that God commands so that you can become the good and godly husbandman, notwithstanding your past failures, mistakes, and unmet expectations.
Now, what does it mean to redeem the time? It simply means to use time wisely, set right priorities, pursue the perfect will of God, identify right values and let it influence your decisions.
You and I must not run the remaining months of 2024 carelessly. You and I must make good use of the time of each day, week and month by giving attention to learning and doing those things that will build us up to becoming the good and godly men, husbands and fathers.
Jesus Christ, the perfect example of the good and godly husbandman, redeemed the time He spent while He walked the earth (Jn.7:9-11). Every day counted for Him. He went about each day with clear purpose why He came and in 3 and half years, He did so much that the world is yet to recover from. He made eternal impact on humanity. That is the mind you must have.
This is the time to rebuild your life and live as the good and godly man, husband and father. Make the days ahead and beyond count profitably for yourself as the good and godly husbandman.
