** 🙋🏾♀️ STAY TUNED UNTIL THE VERY END OF THIS EPISODE! ** 🚩TUNE IN EVERY 2 TO 3 DAYS FOR NEW EPISODES! Follow me on Facebook under AuntCynthia Whitaker 😊💥 Join me today on the podcast (link below) as I discuss: The days are evil, so we better buckle in and stay close to Jesus! Wicked people are still rejecting Him. Lukewarm Christians are still playing both sides of the fence. The ushering of eternity is lost upon unrepentant humanity who live in oblivion of the coming Judgment. These are they who only want to deal with "the here and the now," that "all will work out in the end," somehow, some way! Be not deceived! We must keep on watching and be ready for Christ's return! We must make proper use of what little time we have left!
Jesus stated clearly and emphatically that no one knows the day and hour when He will return except the Father. "But of that day and hour no one knows, not even the angels of heaven, nor the Son, but the Father alone" (Matthew 24:36). The return of Jesus Christ is near, even at the door, like a thief in the night. We know His coming is closer now than when we first believed because sin is rampant! And as it was in the days of Noah and Lot, it will be the same when Jesus return: unrighteousness and wickedness and perverseness abounding evermore. And people will be going about their lives as if Judgment is not coming, although they have been warned!
Beloved, from the Word of God, we are commanded to see that we walk circumspectly, not as fools but as wise as we see the Day approaching. Scripture says,
🚩 "Be very careful, then, how you live—not as unwise but as wise, making the most of every opportunity, because the days are evil" Ephesians 5:15-16.
Another translation (KJV) says, "Redeeming the time, because the days are evil."
In both passages, redeeming the time is related to wisdom in how we “walk,” that is, in how we live.
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. I pray that you may hold fast to God's Word. "It is written: ‘Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of God" (Matthew 4:4). Amen! Be holy. Live clean. Remain in Jesus! Endure until the end! 🎯 REPENT and BELIEVE and TURN back to God!
