[pull_quote_center] Colossians 4.5 “Walk in wisdom toward those who are outside, redeeming the time.” /pull_quote_center]
I think that time is a constant factor in all equations. If you want to succeed, it will partly be a result of what you do with your time; if you want to be healthy and fit, what you do with your time towards achieving health matters; students who want to pass their exams, workers who want to ascend the corporate ladder, etc, will have to use their time well in order to achieve their goals. So, achieving your goals and targets, therefore, is a function of how you use your time, every day.
You don’t need me to tell you that we all have an equal amount of time. The difference then, is how effectively we use the time. It’s not necessarily all about working for longer hours, even though it can be an added advantage, it’s more about what you do with the time. You must eliminate time wasters and time wasting habits. Be focused, do the right things at the right times, have a plan for your time and try as much as you can to stick to it.
Half of the year has gone already, and before you know it the year would end. How many souls have you won? What have you achieved in the last six months? You must avoid procrastinating and postponing things that ought to be done now. Jesus said, “When you plant, you always say, ‘Four more months to wait before we gather the grain.’ But I tell you, open your eyes, and look at the fields. They are ready for harvesting now.” Finally, Ecclesiastes 11.4 says, “But there are some things that you cannot be sure of. You must take a chance. If you wait for perfect weather, you will never plant your seeds. If you are afraid that every cloud will bring rain, you will never harvest your crops.” The Living Bible says, “If you wait for perfect conditions, you will never get anything done.” So stop waiting till you have millions, start now with little steps.
May you accomplish more in the remainder of the year than you did in the last six months in Jesus name.
Happy New Month!
