Dunamis’ Seeds of Destiny 18 September 2020 Devotional By Pastor Paul Enenche — Maximising Your Time By Doing Your Best
Topic: Maximizing Your Time By Doing Your Best
Don’t waste your time or spend time aimlessly; invest time. Use time wisely; don’t let time use you.
SCRIPTURE: Whatsoever thy hand findeth to do, do it with thy might; for there is no work, nor device, nor knowledge, nor wisdom, in the grave, whither thou goest. Ecclesiastes 9:10.
THOUGHT FOR THE DAY: Whatever is worth doing at all is worth doing excellently and maximally. This is because you won’t pass through life twice.
In our previous studies, we have explored some powerful wisdom tips for daily living. And I believe that you are already experiencing tremendous positive change in your life as you read and practice these powerful and proven principles that I call “Wisdom for Daily Living”.
Today, we shall look at two more of these wisdom tips for daily living:
- Give your very best to every task at hand.
Give all you have got to whatever you do because you will not pass through life twice. Give your very best to every task at hand (Ecclesiastes 9:10). This is wisdom.
Paul the apostle did not hold anything back; he did not withhold anything from people (Acts 20:20).
Beloved, there is no wisdom in the grave. And the truth is that one is moving closer to one’s grave every single day. It is not a prophecy but a reality. For example, even if you are destined to live for more than one hundred years, every passing day draws you closer to the end.
So, give the task at hand everything you have got. Whatever is worth doing at all is worth doing excellently and maximally. This is because you won’t pass through life twice. Refuse to live casually and carelessly. Give your very best to every task.
- Direct your time discreetly.
Don’t waste your time or spend time aimlessly; invest time. Use time wisely; don’t let time use you.
Ephesians 5:15 says, See then that you walk circumspectly, not as fools but as wise, redeeming the time because the days are evil.
Exchange your time with something useful and profitable. Don’t let time pass you by without achieving anything meaningful.
Beloved, what is not your intention does not deserve your attention. There are many things that struggle for your time and attention. Give your time only to that which is your intention, that is, the intention that would guarantee profitable destination.
Please know that drinking alcohol, watching bad movies and pornography cannot be a good intention for the use of your time. That is squandering your time in a disastrous direction.
These days, there are all manner of WhatsApp messages flying about. Wisdom demands that you don’t get to read all these messages all the time especially those that are totally irrelevant. My counsel is, schedule a time to read them. First, scan through them to know if there is anyone you can learn lessons from. Otherwise, you end up wasting your time, and other people may be giving you the schedule of what to do with your life and time.
Remember this: Whatever is worth doing at all is worth doing excellently and maximally; this is because you won’t pass through life twice.
ASSIGNMENTS:
- Refuse to do things carelessly, shabbily and casually.

PRAYER: Lord, I ask for the grace to give my best to what I do. Help me to direct, invest and use my time wisely, and not to waste it, Lord, in Jesus’ Name.

QUOTE: A wise man purchases books and all manner of Bible translations and computer aids to assist his study of the Bible. He attends seminars, takes courses and does anything to upgrade himself. A person that lacks wisdom has no time for such things. Culled from “21 FOOLISH THINGS PEOPLE DO” by Dr Paul Enenche.
DAILY READING: Hosea 13-Joel 1
AMAZING FACT: There are one million ants for every human on our planet.
PROPHETIC DECLARATION/WORD: Your life shall not be wasted. Your generation shall benefit from your life in Jesus’ Name.
