TIME IN ETERNITY

-
Text : Psalms 90:12 

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

Our God dwells in eternity-past, present and future. Within these phases of eternity, He created man to dwell in Time. 

This time was to be an endless time in eternity, but when man sinned, he fell short of God's plan, and death came in and reigned over all.(Romans 3:23). Death therefore short circuit man's life in eternity. This is the reason Jesus came.  He had to come into TIME in order to remove the plague death had placed on man. 

For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believes in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. (John 3:16). 

Every man born into this world automatically becomes an eternal being. The question therefore is, which side of eternity would such a man dwells? Everlasting life or Everlasting condemnation?

Time is an opportunity given to you to trade for eternal life. You have limited time to exchange for eternal life in eternity.  Time offers you the opportunity to gain the offerings of eternity while you are still here on earth.

This is the reason Jesus said:  For what is a man profited, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul? or what shall a man give in exchange for his soul? (Matthew  16:26). 

This whole world lies in Time, and it is under the dictate of Time. If a man gains the world which is subjected to Time and looses his soul which is eternal, such man profits nothing.

USE THIS YOUR LIMITED LIFETIME TO EARN YOURSELF LIFE ETERNAL.

Bible reading: Ecclesiastes 3:1-9.

PRAYER FOCUS 

1.) Father God, teach me to number my days that I may apply my heart unto wisdom.

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
