LIVING OFF YESTERDAY’S DREAMS

LIVING OFF YESTERDAY
“DREAMS”
Philippians 3:13-14 (NKJV)

Those without Christ
… “And the dead were judged according to their works, by the things which were written in the books.” (Rev. 20:12)

Those in Christ
“For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ, that each one may receive the things done in the body, according to what he has done, whether good or bad.” (2 Cor. 5:10)

As a believer, we want to hear, “Well done, thy good and faithful servant!”

HOW WILL GOD GAUGE THAT WHEN WE STAND BEFORE HIM?

1. By what we did with our time

When it comes to our “Time” what does God expect us to do?

• Quit making excuses for time“The days of our lives are seventy years; and if by reason of strength they are eighty years. Yet their boast is only labor and sorrow; For it is soon cut off, and we fly away.”
  (Ps. 90:10)
• Settle once and for all what’s important in your life (and give time to it)“that he no longer should live the rest of his time in the flesh for the lusts of men, but for the will of God.”
  (1 Pet 4:2)
• Discipline the time you have“redeeming the time, because the days are evil.”
  (Eph. 5:16)

2.  By what we did with our money

“For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.”
(Mt. 6:21)

“You cannot serve God and mammon.”
(Mt. 6:24)

3. By what we did with our influence
