Text: John 14:1-14

Time equals life. Time wasted means life wasted. Every time you waste a day of your life, your life gets wasted. Any day that is not usefully spent for the Lord is a fraction of your life wasted. You cannot bring back the days you have wasted, no matter your anointing and holiness. So do any assignment given to you with all your strength. Let there be no more wasted time and opportunities. Remember, God is a rewarder. We cannot find a better partner than the Lord Jesus Christ. He rewards with money, divine health, strength, wisdom; and, if you really wasn’t it, He can reward you with popularity.

The fact that the Lord is a rewarder is stated several times in the Scriptures. Psalms 34:10says: “The young lions do lack, and suffer hunger, but they that seek the LORD shall not want any good thing.” Psalms 84:11 says: “For the Lord God is a sun and shield: the Lord will give grace and glory: no good thing will he withhold from them that walk upright.” Psalms 37:25 says: “I have been young, and now am old; yet have I not seen the righteous forsaken, nor his seed begging bread.” He will not only pay you but also pay your children. He will take care of your future.

The Bible says: “And it came to pass, as they still went on, and talked, that, behold, there appeared a chariot of fire, and horses of fire, and parted them both asunder; and Elijah went up by a whirlwind into heaven” (II Kings 2:11). When the time comes for you to retire, He will send His chariots to bring you home. John 14:1-3 says, “Let not your heart be troubled: ye believe in God, believe also in me. In my father’s house are many mansions: if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you. And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive you unto myself, that where I am, there ye may be also.” He has provided a beautiful retirement home for you.

It is worthwhile to be in partnership with Jesus Christ; it is a tremendous privilege. Today, the Lord is calling you to invest your life and time in His work. This is an opportunity of a lifetime. Any divine investment you get into will yield you great dividends.
