Message
Time is a gift from God to everyone. We have a lot of time on earth, but it won’t last forever. Our time here will end at some point. Therefore, we must use our time wisely. That requires good planning. Proper use of your time will help you make the most of opportunities and succeed in life. There’s a time for school, homework, play, house chores, and rest. Make time for prayer and Bible reading. Do the right thing when it is needed. Don’t waste all your time on phones, television, and games. Say no to procrastination.
God does everything at the right time. He sent Jesus to die for your sins at the right time. Any time from now the rapture will take place. The opportunity to repent and be saved won’t last forever. Once the rapture happens, it will be too late. If you are still living in disobedience, the right time for you to sincerely repent and be saved is now!
Dear Father, help me to be wise and to do the right thing at the right time.

2 Corinthians 6:2
1. Admit that you are a sinner. "For all [humans] have sinned, and comes short of the glory of God....[and] the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord" (Romans 3:23)
2. Repent now. "Repent ye therefore, and be converted, that your sins may be blotted out ...[for] if we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness " (Acts 3:19, 1 John 1:9)
3. Believe that God loves you and Jesus died for you. "God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet Sinners, Christ died for us" (Romans 5:8)
4. Invite Jesus into your life through prayer of faith. Jesus says, "Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me" (Revelation 3:20)
