BIBLE READING: Proverbs 3:5-7

7 Be not wise in thine own eyes: fear the LORD, and depart from evil.
MESSAGE
Time is quite a difficult concept to define. One very simple way to describe it is that it is a river that constantly flows. It keeps flowing in a certain direction and carries everyone along with it. No matter what you are doing, time keeps flowing. This means that when you don’t do what you are supposed to do at the right time, you would not only have wasted time, but also a part of your life. This is why you cannot afford to be lazy.Open Heaven merchandise
One of the things you must understand about the river called time is that it wilI throw opportunities at you at different instances. If you don’t make good use of the opportunities, you may miss them forever as the river of time doesn’t flow backwards.
My dear child, you currently have the opportunity to work hard so you can excel in future. You also have the opportunity to make good friends that might become future business partners, family doctors, et cetera. You have the opportunity to preach to a friend who is living a sinful life and save him or her from hell. Ensure you make good use of all the opportunities around you from today.
PRAYER POINT
Father, please help me to recognise all the opportunities around me and make good Use of them.
HYMN 43 – Lead Us Heavenly Father, Lead Us
1 Lead Us, Heavenly Father, Lead Us
O’er The World’s Tempestuous Sea;
Guard Us, Guide Us, Keep Us, Feed Us,
For We Have No Help But Thee,
Yet Possessing Every Blessing
If Our God Our Father Be.
2 Saviour, Breathe Forgiveness O’er Us;
All Our Weakness Thou Dost Know;
Thou Didst Tread This Earth Before Us,
Thou Didst Feel lts Keenest Woe;
Lone And Dreary, Faint And Weary,
Through The Desert Thou Didst Go.
3 Spirit Of Our God, Descending,
Fill Our Hearts With Heavenly Joy,
Love With Every Passion Blending,
Pleasure That Can Never Cloy;
Thus Provided, Pardoned, Guided,
Nothing Can Our Peace Destroy.
