Time management is profitable “Borrowed time”
Beware of Idleness, Slothfulness and Procrastination
Time is life because every life is measured by the time spent. On earth we quantify or measure life by the age or period of time each person spends while on this side of eternity or the present world. Therefore, if we understand this, it implies that our time is relevant in the fulfillment of our destiny. For example, whatever God Has planned for us must be accomplished within a specific time. There is usually a set time within which God’s plan and purpose for an individual must be fulfilled. We must take heed and ensure that we do not allow our time to be stolen or invested on the wrong things. We will give account of every time we spend. Idleness will be equated to time wasted. The onus is on us to spend our time wisely by staying connected to the Holy Spirit, our greatest Helper, guide and Counsellor.
God Has promised us that His thoughts for us are of good and His desire is for us to get to a glorious expected end. If we don’t cooperate with Him by following His divine instructions and timing, we may slow down or stop His good plan from being fulfilled, especially according to His divine timing. Idleness, Slothfulness and Procrastination (ISP factor) are some major hindrances to the fulfillment of a destiny. We must be intentional about striving to work hard and engage in spiritual discipline through fervent Prayer, Fasting, Studying the Word of God to mention a few weapons of warfare that will ensure that we fulfill our destiny.
Nugget
Antidote of ISP (Idleness, Slothfulness and Procrastination)
1. Meditate or keep your mind occupied with the Word of God, and be active in doing God’s good will according to His Word.
2. Being watchful and prayerful, mindful of the fact that the time we claim is not ours, it is borrowed time.
3. Ensure that your Oil does not run out before the arrival of the Bridegroom. The Parable of the ten Virgins, five wise and five foolish.
4. Choose to be wise by using our time wisely, following God’s agenda, not yours.
5. Everyone Has been given the same time (24hours). We shall give account for how we utilize it and there shall be no excuses when the owner of our life who holds the stop watch (Jesus Christ) comes to demand for it. Choose to surrender to Jesus today and your destiny will be fulfilled ensuring you obtain your beautiful crown prepared specially for you in Heaven.

““And at midnight a cry was heard: ‘Behold, the bridegroom is coming; go out to meet him!’ Then all those virgins arose and trimmed their lamps. And the foolish said to the wise, ‘Give us some of your oil, for our lamps are going out.’ But the wise answered, saying, ‘No, lest there should not be enough for us and you; but go rather to those who sell, and buy for yourselves.’ And while they went to buy, the bridegroom came, and those who were ready went in with him to the wedding; and the door was shut. “Afterward the other virgins came also, saying, ‘Lord, Lord, open to us!’ But he answered and said, ‘Assuredly, I say to you, I do not know you.’ “Watch therefore, for you know neither the day nor the hour in which the Son of Man is coming.” ‭‭Matthew‬ ‭25:6-13‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
