PROBLEMS HAVE LIMITS

Don’t envy sinners, but always continue to fear the Lord. For surely you have a future ahead of you; your hope will not be disappointed.
Proverbs 23: 17 - 18
Main Text:

Many of us today have squandered so many opportunities given to us by God. The time we have left is short; hence we must redeem our time. ‘Redeeming the time, because the days are evil’ – Eph. 5: 16 "See that ye walk circumspectly," says the Apostle in the preceding verse, "not as fools, but as wise men, redeeming the time;" saving all the time you can for the best purposes; buying up every fleeting moment out of the hands of sin and Satan, out of the hands of sloth, ease, pleasure, worldly business; the more diligently, because the present "are evil days," days of the grossest ignorance, immorality, and profaneness.

We should avoid wasting of time and resources, too. We should endeavor to accomplish more than we can in 24 hours. What we have to understand about time is that we don’t know how it flies away from us so we must make good use of it always.

 In Ex. 2: 23, we read that after having held in bondage for many years, the king of Egypt died. This means that no matter how long our sufferings may be, all our problems have a time limit. Beloved, your woes shall expire soon in Jesus’ name. Problems are man-made. Just as drugs can expire, therefore, your problems will also expire. Look at the cover or seal of your challenges in faith my beloved; it says that THIS PROBLEM EXPIRES TODAY! And so shall it be in Jesus’ name. ‘For surely there is an end; and thine expectation shall not be cut off’ Prov. 23:18.

Your human enemies can’t operate beyond their limits. If King of Egypt could die, King Herod eaten by worms, then your problems are hereby swallowed up in Jesus’ name. One of the best ways to ensure your joy is increased is to give more attention to the Word of God. The word is powerful to prevail over every circumstance worrying you.

Prayer: I receive timely intervention from God over my travails.
