The Night Cometh

John 9:4 (KJV) I must work the works of him that sent me, while it is day: the night cometh, when no man can work.

The first persons that taught me the way of the Lord were my parents. They were young and full of strength, and it seemed they’ll live forever but they both have left this world to be with the Lord, and none of them living to be seventy years old. My mom always sang me the poem, ‘ tic, tic, tic says the clock, tic, tic, tic, what you have to do, do quick’. The poem wasn’t just for me, it was for them also, because, if there were things they couldn’t do in their lifetime, they never can do those things again.

Jesus answered in John 11:9 ‘Are there not twelve hours in the day? If any man walk in the day, he stumbleth not, because he seeth the light of this world’.

There is a time allotted to you and to this time are attached duties or assignments collectively referred to as purpose. You are here for a purpose whether you are aware of it or not and the time allotted to you is just enough for your assignment, such that any time wasted is a great waste.

Note that, once your time is up, you’ll be called home whether or not you’ve finished your assignment. It is hence very important that you spend your time wisely doing the things that are assigned to you. You must also know that we will all stand before God to give an account of how we spent our time (see 2 Corinthians 5:10).

Now that you still have some time, don’t you think you should find out what you’re here for and begin to do it? Not forgetting that whether you do what you’re here for or not, when your time is up, you’ll leave the earth.

Go into today making up your mind not to live life anyhow. This, you will do by finding out why you’re here and fulfilling it.
