TOPIC: TIME-BOUND GOALS
TEXT: ECCLESIASTES 3:1-8
1 To every thing there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven:
2 A time to be born, and a time to die; a time to plant, and a time to pluck up that which is planted;
3 A time to kill, and a time to heal; a time to break down, and a time to build up;
4 A time to weep, and a time to laugh; a time to mourn, and a time to dance;
5 A time to cast away stones, and a time to gather stones together; a time to embrace, and a time to refrain from embracing;
6 A time to get, and a time to lose; a time to keep, and a time to cast away;
7 A time to rend, and a time to sew; a time to keep silence, and a time to speak;
8 A time to love, and a time to hate; a time of war, and a time of peace.
Key Verse: “To every thing there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven” (Ecclesiastes 3:1).
MESSAGE
Time is life! This is true because every second that ticks on the clock contributes to the minutes, hours, days, weeks, months and years of our lives. This reality makes us plan our lives, knowing that a second wasted in idleness can never come back again.

In setting our goals, we must allot time to each of our goals either in weeks, months or years as the case may be. Leaving our goals open-ended without a time frame to achieve it, will mean that we just engage in an idle dream that leads one to nowhere. There is time for everything as our Bible passage declares, and so no part of our time should be left idle, if we must achieve our goals.
For your goals to be time-bound, you must have a 24 hours workable daily timetable. We have 24 hours in a day, and each of this hour should have specific, measurable, attainable and relevant goals attached to them. Use the table below to make your own time-based goals for a day.

Prayer: Dear Father, grant me the grace to use my time wisely, while here on earth.

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)
