John 9:3-5, 3 Jesus answered, “Neither this man nor his parents sinned, but that the works of God should be revealed in him. 4 I must work the works of Him who sent Me while it is day; the night is coming when no one can work. 5 As long as I am in the world, I am the light of the world.”

I'm not called, chosen, ordained, commissioned, sent to hold or baby preachers' hands, as the Lord's Senior Apostle & Kingdom of God Messenger. What the calling and the work God has given you to do, you need to get busy and do it, or continue to do it. If you are a part of the Fivefold Ministry Team, and you have ministry gifts to serve and be a blessing to His Churches, which are His living, breathing temples, continue to serve faithfully in love and grace, giving God the glory through Jesus Christ. Apostle Paul taught here in the Book of Ephesians 5:15–16 in the King James Version says, “See then that ye walk circumspectly, not as fools, but as wise, redeeming the time, because the days are evil.” The phrase redeeming the time is also found in Colossians 4:5

To redeem something means to buy it back, to regain possession of it. Time is a gift from God, and none of us knows how much of it we are allotted. Only God knows how much time each of us has on this earth to make decisions that will impact eternity ( Psalm 139:16 ). When God says we should be “redeeming the time,” He wants us to live in constant awareness of that ticking clock and make the most of the time we have. In fact, the NIV’s translation of ( Ephesians 5:16 ) uses the phrase making the most of every opportunity instead of redeeming the time. Rather than waste our days on frivolous pursuits that leave no lasting imprint, Scripture instructs us to be diligent about doing good ( Titus 3:8 ).

The context of the command to redeem the time helps us understand what redeeming the time looks like and why it’s important: “Be careful how you live. Don’t live like fools, but like those who are wise. Make the most of every opportunity in these evil days. Don’t act thoughtlessly, but understand what the Lord wants you to do. Don’t be drunk with wine, because that will ruin your life” ( Ephesians 5:15–18 ), ( J.C.R.B.W.S.G.F. ). Redeeming the time means that we are careful in how we live. We seek out and employ wisdom ( Proverbs 2:1–15 ). We seize every opportunity and use it for God’s glory. We think through our plans and make sure they align with God’s will. And we avoid empty, harmful activities such as getting drunk. Why are we to live this way? “Because the days are evil” Ephesians 5:16). We must overcome evil with good ( Romans 12:21 ) ( Ephesians 5:16 ). We must overcome evil with good ( Romans 12:21 ).

Jesus Christ taught His disciples the necessity of redeeming the time: “We must work the works of him who sent me while it is day; night is coming, when no one can work” (John 9:4). Jesus Christ was diligent in keeping to His mission. Distractions were as prevalent then as they are now, but He let none of them deter Him from preaching and teaching God’s Word. That was why He had come ( Luke 4:43 ). Though He spent only 33 years on this earth, Jesus Christ changed the world forever because He redeemed the time.

We can learn to redeem the time by becoming conscious of the fact that we may not have another day. While many focus on pursuing earthly passions in the time they have left,

Another way we can learn to redeem the time is by asking God to help us. We should start every morning by committing our day to the Lord and asking Him to help us do something that day that has eternal significance. By beginning our day with eternity in mind, we become more aware of spiritual nudges in our hearts. We look for ways we can honor the Lord, help believers first, help someone else, or utilize our time in productive ways. Sitting at a red light, we can pray for our neighbor. Mopping the floor, we can worship in song. At a restaurant, we can leave an extra big tip along with a gospel tract or a card inviting the waiter to Jesus Christ Fellowship Family. We can evaluate our gifts and interests and find ways to invest them in God’s kingdom. Volunteering, serving at church, leading a ministry, taking Bible studies to the jails and prisons, and studying to show ourselves “approved unto God” are all ways we can redeem the time ( 2 Timothy 2:15 ) (J.C.R.B.W.S.G.F).

Apostle James 4:14 reminds us that our earthly lives are no more than a fog that appears and then quickly evaporates. Our money and possessions will be given to someone else. Our jobs will be filled by others. Our families may remember us with fondness, but will move on with lives that don’t include us. All that remains of our lives on earth is that which was invested in eternity. In the end, all that matters is what we did or did not do to redeem the time ( Psalm 102:3; 144:4 ). In Christ's Name. Amen.

1 John 4: 20-21

20. If someone says, “I love God,” and hates his brothers ( or sisters ), he or she is a liar; for he or she who does not love their brothers or sisters whom they have seen, how can they love God whom they have not seen? 21. And this commandment we have from Him: that he or she who loves God must love their brothers and sisters also. Church and all of God's Heaven-going, Spirit-filled sons and daughters. Amen. And let His Churches say, Amen.
