Praise be to God for bringing us today Pastor George Payocong to minister to us and share a wonderful message about Time and Journey. All were blessed with the message and with the sharing we had! And we bring back all the praise and thanksgiving to our God! Indeed it has been a fruitful and a hyper morning shared in His presence and with His people.
The summary of the message earlier is as follows:
-The word TIME is mentioned 770 times in the Bible
-Time does not speak of minutes, hours, days, weeks, months or years alone but it also speaks about season and eternity.
-Before God created the world there was no time.
-We (man) are creatures finite.
-In Ecclesiastes 3:11, it was mentioned that "He has made everything beautiful in its time. He has also set eternity in the hearts of men; yet they cannot fathom what God has done from beginning to end." which refers to our SOUL.
-Beyond the grave, the soul survives!
-"Everlasting life" was mentioned in John 3:16
-Our focus should be the eternal destiny of our soul.
-Ephesians 2:2 said "...in which you used to live when you followed the ways of this world and of the ruler of the kingdom of the air, the spirit who is now at work in those who are disobedient."
-God has gives us opportunities but it is up to us on how we grab it.
-Ephesians 5:16 said "making the most of every opportunity, because the days are evil."
-Part of managing TIME is managing CHANGES.
EIGHT REASONS WHY MANY CHANGES ARE INEFFECTIVE:
1. WE ALLOW TOO MUCH COMPLEXITY- while we shoul keep our lives simple!
2. WE FAIL TO BUILD SUBSTANTIAL NETWORK/COALITION- do not neglect to talk to people who will be affected by the "change"; prepare the mindset and start communicating with them, do not assume they will know and they will always understand.
3. WE DO NOT UNDERSTAND THE NEED FOR A CLEAR VISION- our purpose in life must be clear. Vision; those things beyond what is obvious. Beyond call center, how do we envision our lives. Have you ask your self "Why am I doing what I'm doing?" and "Why am I doing the way I'm doing this way?".
4. WE FAIL TO CLEARLY COMMUNICATE OUR VISION- understand what's going on and don't just go through the motion. Stabilize yourself, build something that will last, otherwise it will outlast you.
5. WE PERMIT ROAD BLOCKS- whenever there is change, there will be oppositions and if you permit those "road blocks" to slow you down, it will slow you down.
6. WE DO NOT PLAN SHORT TERM RESULT AND REALIZE THEM- short connected victories should be managed chunk by chunk and piece by piece before it is achieved.
7. WE DECIDE VICTORY TOO SOON- and when it happens, the momentum slows down! Do not claim the victory too soon but rather rejoice when it comes.
8. WE FAIL TO ANCHOR CHANGES ON GOD- if our desire and our goal is not anchored with God, expect it to fail. Make sure to make Him you anchor in everything that you do and will do.
ASK YOUR SELF: Am I on my way to the way that I want to go? How far have I gone?
Conclusion
-In every attempt in life, it should be achieved one step at a time.
-Start the day with a word of prayer.
-Establish a strong relationship with God.
-If you fail to manage your time, it will manage you!
-If you are not the boss of your time, you will be its slave.
