Meditation of the week: Psalms 91:1-16
Text: Ephesians 5:10-16
Word Title:  One time opportunity given unto man as a grass in the 7000 tears’  plan of God who will judge the wicked and adulterous world to establish his kingdom of righteousness in heaven and earth

       The first part of this message is for the ignorant one that not understanding the subject of this message, not believes heaven and hell on the way to hell just pursuing Mammon, as well as church goer including minister confessing faith only with lip also on the way to hell actually worshipping Mammon.

God encourages them to redeem their time. How man just as a grass that only can live 70 to 80 years understand the plan of God for 7000 years to judge the wicked and adulterous world to establish his kingdom of righteousness in heaven and earth?

If only one of listeners understand this message, it shall be glory unto God.Moses, a man of God, witnessed a very important truth through his prayer:

“Thou turnest man to destruction; and sayest, Return, ye children of men.

4For a thousand years in thy sight are but as yesterday when it is past, and as a watch in the night.

5Thou carriest them away as with a flood; they are as a sleep: in the morning they are like grass which groweth up.

6In the morning it flourisheth, and groweth up; in the evening it is cut down, and withereth.

7For we are consumed by thine anger, and by thy wrath are we troubled.

8Thou hast set our iniquities before thee, our secret sins in the light of thy countenance.

9For all our days are passed away in thy wrath: we spend our years as a tale that is told.” (Psalm 90:3-9)

He also briefly and humorously describes how short life man is to live in the world, and what he has to go through during that short life, and also where he must go somewhere not knowing it heaven or hell after giving up breath:

“The days of our years are threescore years and ten; and if by reason of strength they be fourscore years, yet is their strength labour and sorrow; for it is soon cut off, and we fly away.….. So teach us to number our days, that we may apply our hearts unto wisdom.” (Psalm 90:10,12)

Through the mouth of Moses, the Holy Spirit prophesied that man’s life would be getting very short in the future. Moses himself had lived 120 years , but with his mouth he is proving that a man’s  lifespan is seventy or eighty if he is strong. In the 21st century, people are  saying that this is the age of 100 years of life.  However, in fact, when a man turns seventy, he or she does not live anymore but survive. But some of them live up to 100 years old relying on medical devices. However, there are some people who live and work even after they turn 100 years old or more.

Looking at the statistical data on the lifespan of Korean people,
Survival probability up to 70 years is 86%,  up to 75 years is 54%,  up to 80 years is 30%, up to 85 years is 15%, and  up to 90 years is 0.5%. Of course, there may be differences by country, but we can confirm that the word of God is true.

In a short time of 70 years, men  eat and live by sweating in labor, and in addition, living in the world , men have to pass through sorrow continually. Almost everyone agrees saying they are living in labor and sorrow.

God’s servant, King David gave the same testimony in the Holy Spirit:

“LORD, make me to know mine end, and the measure of my days, what it is; that I may know how frail I am.

5Behold, thou hast made my days as an handbreadth; and mine age is as nothing before thee: verily every man at his best state is altogether vanity. Selah.

6Surely every man walketh in a vain shew: surely they are disquieted in vain: he heapeth up riches, and knoweth not who shall gather them.

7And now, Lord, what wait I for? my hope is in thee..” (Psalm 39:4-7)

It has been six thousand years since the first man, Adam, sinned, and sin and death entered the world, and the devil who brought sin and death has been ruling the world wickedly. We are living in the midst of all kinds of wrath and wars aand epidemics because of sins.

But God has been looking on  the people he created and all creation living in pain with pitiful eyes. He set aside 7000 years to restore heaven and earth to the kingdom of God without sin, death, and curse. He hasn’t been slumbering or sleeping until now. He also gave all people born in the world 70 to 80 years of life, and gave them the opportunity to realize this amazing will of God. God foretold in advance that even the first man being clothed with leather garments, and that his only-begotten Son, Jesus Christ, would come and shed blood to atone for the sins of all. Not only that, God through his servants  preached the good news through his begotten Son. Finally after 400 years later Jesus Christ came to the world and preached gospel for the world to be saved through him to enter the kingdom of God(John 3:16).

God created all things for six days and rested on the seventh day. As God’s man Moses testified that God rested on the seventh day,  after six thousand years that is six days for God, on seventh thousand years ( seventh day for God) , God  will restore all creation, including heaven, earth, and man, by His law of justice, and rest himself forever.  To give people this amazing plan of God’s time, God gave the Bible, the Word of God to the world. No one can understand God’s plan except through the only true Word of the Bible that contains God’s thoughts and plans. All the philosophies and educayios created by Satan who have ruled the world are designed to oppose God’s Word.

The only thing that God has given to everyone is the one and only opportunity, 70-80 years of life, and the first thing you need to do is to do the most important thing to know the will of God, That’s the reason to redeem your time.  As long as you want to understand God’s will, God will give you the opportunity to realize the gospel through His people and enter the kingdom of God. Regarding a man who does not understand the will of God, the Bible says, ” Nevertheless man being in honour abideth not: he is like the beasts that perish.…
Man that is in honour, and understandeth not, is like the beasts that perish. Psalm 49:12,20).

       As the second part of message, the word “redeem your time” in today’s message is also a very important word for Christians who have become children of God and have entered the kingdom of God. God’s children are to work for life, not for the corruption, as the Lord Jesus said: .

“Labour not for the meat which perisheth, but for that meat which endureth unto everlasting life, which the Son of man shall give unto you: for him hath God the Father sealed.” (John 6:27)

          Apostle Paul testified to the Galatians redeeming the time to live for the food of eternal life:

“For he that soweth to his flesh shall of the flesh reap corruption; but he that soweth to the Spirit shall of the Spirit reap life everlasting..”(Gal. 6:8)
Then, it is necessary to realize what kind of life  means to reap what is rotten by sowing in the flesh and reaping eternal life by sowing in the Holy Spirit. Apostle Paul testified to the Christians in Rome:

“For they that are after the flesh do mind the things of the flesh; but they that are after the Spirit the things of the Spirit.

6For to be carnally minded is death; but to be spiritually minded is life and peace.

7Because the carnal mind is enmity against God: for it is not subject to the law of God, neither indeed can be.

8So then they that are in the flesh cannot please God.

9But ye are not in the flesh, but in the Spirit, if so be that the Spirit of God dwell in you. Now if any man have not the Spirit of Christ, he is none of his.” (Romans 8:5-9).

That’s right! Sowing in the Holy Spirit means living a life clothed with the Word of God by living in the Word of God  that is  spirit and life. Those who have been born again with the Holy Spirit and have entered the kingdom of God have already put off the old man. Therefore, we have to be clothed with Christ, the new man. In other words, you have to be clothed with the whole armor of God with words of God not to be naked. Apostle Paul exhorted the Galatian  about this:

“My little children, of whom I travail in birth again until Christ be formed in you,.” (Galatians 4:19)

The Holy Spirit has given us times  to stay at home due to the corona virus, so we have to redeem our time until the Lord Jesus Christ appears to receive all the words that are uploaded in the church website to keep them all not to give any opportunity to the devil for him seduce at all.

When the resurrected Jesus appeared to the Apostle John and spoke of the Laodician Church in the last days, he said that they are being naked spiritually by living the  life sowing only in the flesh:

” Because thou sayest, I am rich, and increased with goods, and have need of nothing; and knowest not that thou art wretched, and miserable, and poor, and blind, and naked:

18I counsel thee to buy of me gold tried in the fire, that thou mayest be rich; and white raiment, that thou mayest be clothed, and that the shame of thy nakedness do not appear; and anoint thine eyes with eyesalve, that thou mayest see.“(Re 3:17-18)

Amen! Hallelujah!
