Title - Redeeming The Time
Teacher:- Pastor Paul Orimolusi
Main Text:- Ephesians 5.16
To redeem means to buy something back.
For example, when we say Christ has redeemed us, it means Christ has bought us back with His blood from the dungeon of sin
Anyone who steals your time steals your destiny.
It is also to pay attention to the needful. Don't push till tomorrow what needs to be done today.
Why Must we Redeem Time
- Because the days are evil (Matt 24:6-13)
The world is in chaos
You can't be a friend to the world and your past sinful life and God at the same time (Matt 5:11-12)
- False prophets are also arising so we have to be discerning.
- Many shall also be offended. In this life, offences will come, but don't waste time holding grudges. You must forgive. Mark 11:25
- Many Christians will backslide. There will be a falling away. Backsliding is a dangerous state. 2Thess 2:3.
- The love of many will wax cold (Matt 24.12)
- Deceptive Prophets will deceive many
How to Redeem Time
1) Return to God (with all of your heart). Go back to the drawing board and ask God to show you where you missed it.
The rapture can take place at any time.
2) Intensify soul winning. John 9:4
