So 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. (Eph 5:15-17, NLT)
Redeeming the time means making the most of every opportunity. When priorities are wrongly placed, undue attention is given to things that are of temporal worth at the expense of the things that are of eternal and more significant value.
Satan knows too well that once priorities are misplaced, it becomes much easier for him to cause havoc and untold miseries in the lives of individual, families, communities and even nations.
You must identify areas of misplaced priorities in your daily schedule as well as the havoc that have been caused. Then make a determined resolution to put things right.

Thank God this is September….whew! I just checked mine and realised that major works need to be done in order to achieve set targets. Funny questions I asked myself: What did I do with all the time? Could it be that the year is moving faster than I thought?….Well! for me I guess misplaced priorities could be a factor. Am like a student who has spent one and half hours reading questions and only have thirty minutes to write answers…probably I thought I should understand the question better before I write.
The reality is that January to August, all gone and September will soon end. Nothing can be done. Whether good or bad, there are two options: 1. Continue staring at the wasted time and opportunities or 2. Focus on the remaining time and make good use of it.
Life isn’t about what you did in the PAST But about what you can do with what you have NOW for a better Future.
2018 isn’t dead yet which means that you can restructure yourself and work hard to achieve more. Remember: Forget about the past and look forward to what lies ahead. If you have achieved marvelous things so far, know that you can still do better. Be ready for final laps in 2018 and Finish Strong.
