NUMBER YOUR DAYS

Text : Psalms 90:12

 *So teach us to number our days, that we may apply our hearts unto wisdom.* 

Your age today is the accumulation of the number of minutes, hours, weeks, months and years you've spent here on earth. 
In essence, your life is contained in time. *Every minute wasted is tantamount to a portion of your life wasted.*

If time is this important,  then it is wisdom to use it wisely. The truth is, your active time here on earth is within the window of your decision-making ages. From whatever age when you can make decisions for yourself concerning different areas of your life, to the age where you are too old to actively carry out your desires, those are your decision making ages. This is usually referred to as youthful age.

This explains why Ecclesiastes 12:1 says Remember now thy Creator in the days of thy youth, while the evil days come not, nor the years draw nigh, when thou shalt say, I have no pleasure in them.

This also explains why the devil is focusing his attention on children and youths. The kind of evil perpetrated by the younger generations today is quite disheartening.

Many young folks believe they can live a reckless life now and get serious with God later in life. It's a big, fat lie. Any day wasted can never be regained. In the history of mankind,  we can't have 1st of January 2022 again, it's gone forever. 

 *Each day is given to you as an opportunity to store up treasure for yourself in heaven.* 

 ```So teach us to number our days, that we may gain a heart of wisdom.``` The essence of this teachings is so you could gain a heart of wisdom. 


 *BIBLE READING* : Psalms 90:1-12.

 *PRAYER FOCUS* 

1. Thank you Father for the gift of another day.

2. Help me to redeem the time for the days are evil. Ephesians 5:16.

3. Give me wisdom to number my days that it  may count into eternity for me..

IT IS WRITTEN AGAIN

Text: Matthew 4:6. He told Jesus, “Since you are the Son of God, throw yourself down, because it is written,   ‘God will put his angels in charge of you,’ and,   ‘With their hands they will hold you up, so that you will never hit your foot against a rock.’ Jesus knocked devil off with "it is written" when he came to him with the first temptation. So, the devil too decided to use "it is written" for Jesus for the second temptation.  Don't be deceived, the devil knows the scriptures too. Second Corinthians 11:14 says,  "Satan himself masquerades as an angel of light." So, it's no surprise when you see Satan's messengers masquerading themselves as Apostle of Christ. 2 Corinthians 11:14.  The word of God is perfect. Yet, many people can twist it to their advantage and ultimately to their disadvantage. A drunk, smoker, fornicator, liar and all sort can justify their sinful lifestyles with a Bible verse. See to it that you do not twist the word of Go...

WHEN GOD IS SILENT(2)

Text: Matthew 4:1  *Then Jesus was led up by the Spirit into the wilderness to be tempted by the devil.*  We saw yesterday that God was not pleased with many israelites that left Egypt for the promised land  (Corinthians 10:5).  A good percentage of the Israelites were overthrown in the wilderness.   Wilderness experience is not what any child of God desires, but it is an experience God sends or allows his children go through. In Deuteronomy 8:2, God says that He *LED* the Isrealites through the wilderness for forty years to humble them, to prove them, and to know what was in their heart whether they would keep his commandments or not.  Our Lord Jesus Christ was also *LED* into the wilderness by the Spirit of the Lord to be tempted by the devil. You will  notice there is a similar feature of the number *40(forty)* between these two wilderness experiences. That is, that of the Israelites and our Lord Jesus Christ. The Israelites spent 40years, Jesu...

GULLIBLE BUT INTELLIGENT

Text : Mat 25:31-32  *When the Son of man shall come in his glory, and all the holy angels with him, then shall he sit upon the throne of his glory:*   *And before him shall be gathered all nations: and he shall separate them one from another, as a shepherd divideth his sheep from the goats:*  Have you ever wondered why Jesus compared His followers to sheep and not goats?  Sheep has reputation for being stupid, defenceless and harmless creatures that mope about on hillsides doing not very much. They are good for two things: being eaten and producing wool. According to a study by Keith Kendrick, he said in reality, Sheep are actually surprisingly intelligent, with impressive memory and recognition skills. They build friendships, stick up for one another in fights, and feel sad when their friends are  sent to slaughter. The truth is that sheep are far smarter than we know., All these reasons and more are the basis for Jesus' comparism of His followers with sh...
