Genesis 1:14-19 KJVS
And God said, Let there be lights in the firmament of the heaven to divide the day from the night; and let them be for signs, and for seasons, and for days, and years: [15] And let them be for lights in the firmament of the heaven to give light upon the earth: and it was so. [16] And God made two great lights; the greater light to rule the day, and the lesser light to rule the night: he made the stars also. [17] And God set them in the firmament of the heaven to give light upon the earth, [18] And to rule over the day and over the night, and to divide the light from the darkness: and God saw that it was good. [19] And the evening and the morning were the fourth day.
Respect time. Respect for time is very important. God respects times and seasons and He always works with them. In fact, He made and appointed the sun, moon and stars to GOVERN( Hebrew: Memshalaw: have power, rule, dominion , realm) times and seasons, days and years.
God works with time. There must be something inside you that respects times. Anything that makes you disrespect and dishonour timing's can cost you and rob of your shine in the dark hour or the D- day or judgement day. God wants our times to be governed today so that we will have our inner biological and spiritual clock working well in preparation for examination days or judgement days, when all the privileges and chances for preparation towards readiness will be taken off. There is a day when chances for preparation will be taken off. That day should not catch us unaware if we are able to use the time we have well enough.
Fear the last minute. Things can happen in the last minute before judgement that can really incapacitate you so that you are not able to actively prepare for the judgement day or D- day. There is a day when the powers of the heavens will be shaken so that they do not give you the luxury of the daytime that you have always had. There is a day when all the plenty time you have always had and perhaps wasted doing things that don't matter will be taken away. What will you do in the day that you suddenly realise that you don't have as much time as you always thought you had? Fear the last minute. Things can come up and that will make you unable to do all the things you were procrastinating onto the last minutes. Jesus said that just before He comes, the Sun will be darkened and the moon will not shine, and the stars themselves will fall so there will be a very terrible gloom. Perhaps electricity will also fail so that no one has the light or time to do any last minutes activities. Avoid procrastination. Don't save things for the last minute. Prepare today.
Matthew 24:29-30 KJVS
Immediately after the tribulation of those days shall the sun be darkened, and the moon shall not give her light, and the stars shall fall from heaven, and the powers of the heavens shall be shaken: [30] And then shall appear the sign of the Son of man in heaven: and then shall all the tribes of the earth mourn, and they shall see the Son of man coming in the clouds of heaven with power and great glory.
Be ready at all times. The only reason why we end up actively preparing for deadlines is because that is when we become more aware that we have no time left. The secret of preparing at all times is to have a great sense of awareness and fear of the sudden day or judgement day or examination day that can come at any day or any time. The call is for us to be ready at all times.
Matthew 24:44 KJVS
Therefore be ye also ready: for in such an hour as ye think not the Son of man cometh.
Don't say someone is delaying. Many times when we want to be late for something, we put the blame of on other people also responsible for the appointment who are are likely to delay. And then we give the excise that since they are likely to delay, we can take all our time and also be late. That is not a good attitude. And it is a wicked and evil spirit that m
