REDEEM THE TIME FOR THE SAKE OF CHRIST AND HIS KINGDOM

September 28

eloved, look at your watch, or look at some device for telling time. Do you know that each minute that passes on the earth is one minute that you have lost forever? Now take the next minute to speak lovingly to the Lord Jesus. Thank Him that in one moment, frozen in time, truly in history about 2000 years ago, He took the time out of His life to agree to die for you on a cross at Calvary's Mountain. Why not thank Him for taking the time for you to allow His blood to be spilled and His life to be taken as an offering for you and the certain removal of all your sins. If medical doctors could have examined Him on the cross they could have recorded almost to the minute the time of His death. They would have written it down in their chart-- "died at 2:04 p.m." (This is simply an example of time only God knows the real time of His actual death). Beloved, sometimes the true events of history become a little blurred in your minds and you need to be brought into the reality of that act and event in real time. Now, since the Lord Jesus gave you the time of His own life and took that time to die for you, what will you do for Him? Is this your prayer: "Father, one minute of His holy time is worth a million minutes of my time spent in true devotion to and worship of Him. I will take time for Him to pray lovingly toward heaven as an offering of thanksgiving to Jesus on my part for all His wonderful gifts and offerings at Calvary. He did them all with me in His mind! Father, I will spend time with Him by reading and meditating on His holy word -- the Bible. I will take His promises into my mind and trust in them and believe in them, making them truly a part of my life and practice before God. I thank you for that one minute in history which became the last minute of His life, an offering for me and my loved ones."

Prayer

Father, I praise you for this time and blessings and the gift of your Holy Spirit who lives still each day and minute of my life sending me the gifts of heaven which were bought and paid for by the Lord Jesus, amen!
