TOPIC: Redeeming The Time
READ: Ephesians 5:13-17(NKJV)
- But all things that are exposed are made manifest by the light, for whatever makes manifest is light.
- Therefore He says: “Awake, you who sleep, Arise from the dead, And Christ will give you light.”
- See then that you walk circumspectly, not as fools but as wise,
- redeeming the time, because the days are evil.
- Therefore do not be unwise, but understand what the will of the Lord [is.]
THE MESSAGE:
The phrase “redeeming the time” implies making the most of every opportunity or making the best use of the limited time we have. It involves a sense of urgency and intentionality on how we spend our time.

The reason is that the days are evil – the world is filled with sin, corruption, moral decay and all kinds of evil. Therefore, believers should not be passive in the face of evil, but actively engage in godly living and deliberate use of our time to make a positive impact on the world around us.
Practically speaking, redeeming the time involves making our priority, things of eternal value over temporal and unimportant pursuits. It means using our time to pursue God’s purposes, to grow in our relationship with Him, and to serve others.
This may involve activities such as prayer, studying the scripture, worship and fellowship, and engaging in acts of kindness and service. Redeeming the time requires being intentional about avoiding time-wasting activities or things that lead us away from the will of God.
It may involve setting boundaries on our use of technology, managing our commitments and priorities wisely, and being mindful of how we allocate our God-given resources, including time and energy. May the Lord give us grace to always redeem the time.
PRAYER: Dear Lord, please help me, that today and always, I will redeem the time.
