Redeem the time [ May 7, 2022]
Redeem the time
Psalm 90:12
So teach us to number our days, that we may apply our hearts unto wisdom
The phrase “redeem the time” brings to mind a popular song by Minister Bernice Offei. It says
So you see my brother life is so short
It passes so quickly and soon is gone
You just have one life to live
So remember your creator while you have breath
The song brings out the brevity of life and the need to serve our creator while we have life.
The verse above from the Psalms also reminds us that life is short so we have to do as much as possible before it ends
Revelations 22:12 says
And Behold, I come quickly and my reward is with me, to give every man according as his works shall be.
If you want to receive a reward then work faithfully for the Lord NOW.
Ephesians 5:16
Redeeming the time, because the days are evil
Another reason why we should redeem the time or make the best use of the time we have is because “the days are evil”.
This means, day in day out events and activities occur that could prevent us from serving the Lord faithfully. Satan and his hosts of fallen angels are working frantically to snatch people from the Lord’s kingdom
Therefore we need to prayerful and live by faith. The bible says the just shall live by faith
God be with you
How can I apply the word to my life?
1. Read your bible and pray every day
2. Live by the word or obey what the bible says
Prayer
Think about the words of this song
It is time to wake from thy sleep
Redeem the time
For the days are evil
And the glory of the Lord
Is risen upon you
