RESTORATION TODAY
SUNDAY 20TH NOVEMBER 2016
BY PASTOR DR. G.O. OLUTOLA JP.

THEME: REDEEMING THE TIME.

Walk in wisdom toward them that are without, redeeming the time. Colossians 4: 5.

Your greatest possession is the twenty-four hours that makes up your day. How will you spend them? Will you allow television, Facebook, unimportant tasks, your own impulses, the wrong people, or other meaningless distractions to consume your day? Or will you take control of your time and make today count?

Leadership experts say that focusing on the top 20 per cent of your priorities brings an 80 per cent return on your effort. So when you get up each morning, look in the mirror and say, Today, I?ll live my life according to God?s will, and give my energies to the attention. Advertisers want you to spend money on their products. And people with nothing to do, usually want to spend their time with you as well. Even your own desires can be so diverse and your focus so scattered that you aren?t sure what needs your attention first.

That's why you need to concentrate on your God-given purpose. Whatever you concentrate on, you give strength and momentum to. Your priorities determine how you spend your time, so set them prayerfully and maintain them carefully. Eliminate non-essentials. You can?t do everything you want to do, but you can do everything God wants you to do. Success comes from doing the wright things right, and letting the rest go.

ACTION POINT:
Imagine yourself looking back on your life years from now which things would you regret not doing? Make those your priority now.

SCRIPTURE:
Psalm 90.

PRAYER POINTS:
1. Lord Jesus, help me to redeem the time in the name of Jesus.

2. Heavenly father, grant me wisdom to know what to do each time in the name of Jesus.

3. Lord Jesus, remove regret far from me in the name of Jesus.

4. Lord, restore order into my life and situation in the name of Jesus.
