Topic — Effective Time Management: A Proof Of Wisdom [Thursday June 21, 2018]
Scripture: Teach us to make the most of our time, so that we may grow in wisdom. Ps 90:12 (NLT)
Thought For The Day: Poverty and lack of time management go hand in hand; the absence of wisdom is confirmed by the wastage of time.
Time is the unit of life, hence to manage time effectively is to live profitably.
It has been confirmed that the effective management of time is a proof of wisdom. Wise people value their time, but foolish people have no respect for their time. Rich people value their time while poor people have plenty of time to waste. Poverty and lack of effective time management go hand in hand.
I have come across some people who are high achievers, both in Ministry and in the corporate world, and I discovered that they are accurate time managers. For example, our father in the Lord, Bishop David Oyedepo, a great manager of time, maximizing both day and night for work.
Great and influential people have serious business with time. For instance, anyone who aspires to become the President of the USA should be prepared because it is said that an American president has around of 19 hours 45 minutes scheduled for him per day for work; the president would be told where he would be at a particular time. The remaining 4 hours 15 minutes is left for him to do whatever he likes with it. So, anything that makes anyone to vie for the presidency of the United States of America, either at the age of 40 or 75, positions the person for 19 hours and 45 minutes of brutal work daily for the nation of America. That is what it means to be the president of the United States of America.
People who make their mark on earth would not waste their time in profitless ventures; they know how to manage, utilize, subdue and discipline time. What they achieve in one day is some people’s weekly achievement or target.
Beloved, manage your time effectively; effective management of time is one of the greatest proofs of wisdom. That is why the absence of wisdom is confirmed by the wastage of time. One who has no control of his time is unwise. Stupidity is confirmed by the wastage of time.
Remember this: Poverty and lack of time management go hand in hand; the absence of wisdom is confirmed by the wastage of time.
