Imagine you receive the following prize...
Every morning R86 400.00 gets deposited into your personal bank account.
BUT, this game has rules...
1st Rule:
Everything that you do not use up that day will be taken back. You may not transfer any money to another account so you can use it another time. You HAVE to spend everything that specific day!
2nd Rule:
The game may be stopped at any given moment without prior notice or any warning whatsoever. Then it’s over! You may not open a new account!
What would you personally do?
Would you buy everything you want and everything for people you care for? Maybe even buy stuff for people you don’t even know, just out of the blue...Because you can never use that amount in one day.

- Each of us has this account, we just don't see it.
- This account's name is TIME.
- Each day when you wake up you have 86 400seconds deposited into your life account. A gift of life.
- When you go to bed, everything you didn't use gets taken back.
- It's gone forever!
- Yesterday is gone!
- This account can be closed any minute without warning.
SO– What are you going to do with your next 86 400 seconds?
Isn’t this worth more that the same amount in cash?
So why not go and enjoy every second of your life as if it was the last one?
BEWARE! Time flies by faster than you think. And before you know it, you have nothing left. Cherish each moment!
Thank God for every second what He gives you for free, because He gives it to you out of Grace!
Do not throw it back in His face. Make Him proud.
Bible verses

Ephesians 5:15-17 - Look carefully then how you walk, not as unwise but as wise, making the best use of the time, because the days are evil. Therefore do not be foolish, but understand what the will of the Lord is.
James 4:13-17 - Come now, you who say, “Today or tomorrow we will go into such and such a town and spend a year there and trade and make a profit”—yet you do not know what tomorrow will bring. What is your life? For you are a mist that appears for a little time and then vanishes. Instead you ought to say, “If the Lord wills, we will live and do this or that.” As it is, you boast in your arrogance. All such boasting is evil. So whoever knows the right thing to do and fails to do it, for him it is sin.
Matthew 24:36 - “But concerning that day and hour no one knows, not even the angels of heaven, nor the Son, but the Father only.
Psalm 31:14-15 - But I trust in you, O Lord; I say, “You are my God.” My times are in your hand; rescue me from the hand of my enemies and from my persecutors!
