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..

THE GOOD FIGHT-2

Text:  1 Timothy  6:12   Fight the good fight of faith, lay hold on eternal life, whereunto thou art also called, and hast professed a good profession before many witnesses. Another thing to pursue in fighting the good fight of faith is Godliness. We understand through the Holy scriptures that godliness is profitable unto all things.   *For bodily exercise profiteth little: but godliness is profitable unto all things, having promise of the life that now is, and of that which is to come.* 1 Timothy  4:8.  You will reap the reward of your godliness not only when you get to heaven, but from here on earth. And this is why we are admonished to exercise ourselves unto godliness. (1 Timothy  4:7), because godliness with contentment is great gain.1 Timothy  6:6. Godliness is the practice of conforming to the image of God by reflecting the nature of the kingdom of God in the course of everyday life. In other words, godliness is living and portraying the nature of God here on earth.  2 Peter  1:

PRAYING MEN

Text : 1Timothy 2:8. I will therefore that men pray every where, lifting up holy hands, without wrath and doubting. God gave explicit instructions to all of His children as to how we must live our lives. Some of these instructions cut across boards, of which all of God's children must obey. However, there are some instructions that are specific to gender or portfolios. We we'll be looking at some of these instructions today.  *THE MEN* From our text, there are two distinct responsibilities God wants men to undertake, and the two are intertwined. First, God wants men to pray. The word  'men' as used in our text is not generic as to mean all human beings. It is specifically requesting that all men should pray. Yes, God expects every of His children to pray, but He specifically called men out here.  A number of times,  when prayer meetings are called, the proportion of women in attendance always outnumbered men. This is because the devil knows the import of praying men.

BE CALM & LISTEN-3

Text: 1 Kings 19:12 "...and after the earthquake a fire, [but] the LORD [was] not in the fire; and after the fire a still small voice" Prophet Elijah fled after he received the life threatening message from Jezebel, the wife of King Ahab, because he didn't keep himself calm before the Lord.  *Endeavouring to listen to God in difficult times is a major prerequisite to your deliverance.*  Are you faced with a life threatening situation like Prophet Elijah, the first and most important thing you need to do is: "Set yourself before the Lord for His still small voice."  *"You will be saved from many unwarranted troubles if only you will always maintain your calm before the Lord and listen to Him."*  After Prophet Elijah heard the still small voice, then the Lord asked him, "What are you doing here?" This question shows that Prophet Elijah had left his rightful location and God-given assignment.  The windstorm he saw, revealed that he has been blow
