What Did You Do With the Year God Gave You? Every year is a gift from God. It is not a right; it is a trust. As this year comes to an end, God is asking each of us a sober question: “What did you do with the year I gave you?” Time is one resource that can never recovers. Once a year passes, it can never be revisited. Life itself is measured in days, months, and years, and one day we will give an account of how we used them. 1. The Year Was a Gift, Not an Accident James 1:17 – “Every good and perfect gift is from above.” The fact that you are alive at the end of this year is evidence of God’s mercy. Many began the year but did not finish it. Survival alone is not success; stewardship is what God measures. Reflection Question: Did you treat this year as a divine gift or just another calendar cycle? 2. God Expects Accountability for Time Luke 16:2 – “Give an account of thy stewardship…” God does not only ask what we achieved, but how we lived. Time wasted on sin, bitterness, laziness, and distractions still counts. Silence, delay, and indecision are also choices. Truth: One day, heaven will ask for a report—not excuses. 3. What Did You Do Spiritually This Year? Colossians 4:2 – “Continue in prayer, and watch in the same with thanksgiving.” Ask yourself: Did my prayer life grow or decline? Did I study God’s Word consistently? Did my character reflect Christ more than last year? Did I win souls or point anyone to Jesus? Spiritual growth does not happen accidentally; it happens intentionally. 4. What Did You Do With the Opportunities Given? Matthew 25:19 – “After a long time the lord of those servants cometh, and reckoneth with them.” Opportunities ignored are opportunities lost. God gives talents, connections, open doors, and chances to repent. Fear, procrastination, and comparison bury destinies. Warning: God does not reward intention; He rewards faithfulness. 5. Did the Year Change You or Just Age You? Romans 12:2 – “Be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind…” Some people grow older without growing better. Pain should produce wisdom, not bitterness. Failure should produce humility, not excuses. Question: Are you more like Christ now than you were at the beginning of the year? 6. There Is Mercy for What Was Wasted Joel 2:25 – “And I will restore to you the years that the locust hath eaten…” God is merciful to the repentant. What you cannot recover naturally, God can restore supernaturally. The end of the year is not condemnation; it is invitation. Good News: A surrendered heart can redeem a wasted year. Conclusion The year is ending, but eternity is approaching. God is not just closing a calendar; He is examining a life. What did you do with the year God gave you—your time, your opportunities, your spiritual life, and your purpose? Do not end the year casually. End it consciously. Call to Action Repent where you failed. Thank God for His mercy. Rededicate your life and time to Him. Make a godly decision for the coming year. Prayer Points Father, thank You for the gift of life throughout this year. Lord, forgive me for every wasted opportunity and moment. Teach me to number my days and live wisely. Restore every good thing I lost through ignorance or delay. Give me grace to redeem the coming year for Your glory. Let my life count for eternity in Jesus’ name. Altar Call If you realize you have lived this year without God, or far from Him, today is your moment of return. Tomorrow is not promised. Surrender your life fully to Christ and let Him take charge of your time and destiny.

Prepare to Meet Your Maker Life on earth is temporary. No matter our age, status, wealth, or achievements, our time here is short. God’s Word continually reminds us that we are pilgrims passing through, not permanent residents. The greatest wisdom of life is not how long we live, but how prepared we are to meet our Maker. Hebrews 9:27 — “And as it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment.” Psalm 90:12 — “So teach us to number our days, that we may apply our hearts unto wisdom.” 1. MAN’S LIFE ON EARTH IS BRIEF The Bible clearly shows that human life is short and uncertain. James 4:14 — “What is your life? It is even a vapor, that appears for a little time, and then vanishes away.” Job 14:1–2 — “Man that is born of a woman is of few days… he comes forth like a flower, and is cut down.” No one knows the length of their stay on earth. Therefore, postponing repentance or godly living is dangerous. Today is the best day to prepare. 2. WE ALL HAVE AN APPOINTMENT WITH GOD Every human being will stand before God. Ecclesiastes 12:7 — “Then shall the dust return to the earth as it was: and the spirit shall return unto God who gave it.” 2 Corinthians 5:10 — “For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ.” This meeting cannot be avoided, bribed, or postponed. The only question is: Will you be ready? 3. HOW DO WE PREPARE TO MEET OUR MAKER? a. Through Repentance True preparation begins with repentance. Acts 3:19 — “Repent therefore and be converted, that your sins may be blotted out.” A repentant heart turns away from sin and turns fully to God. b. Through Faith in Jesus Christ Salvation is only through Jesus. John 14:6 — “I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man comes unto the Father, but by me.” Romans 10:9 — “If you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus… you shall be saved.” c. Through Holy Living Our daily lives must reflect our readiness. 1 Peter 1:15–16 — “Be holy; for I am holy.” Matthew 24:44 — “Therefore be ye also ready: for in such an hour as ye think not the Son of man comes.” 4. THE CONSEQUENCES OF UNPREPAREDNESS Ignoring God’s call has eternal consequences. Amos 4:12 — “Prepare to meet thy God, O Israel.” Luke 12:20 — “You fool, this night your soul shall be required of you.” Preparation is not for tomorrow—it is for now. CONCLUSION Man’s stay on earth is brief, but eternity is forever. What you do with Jesus today determines where you will spend eternity. Wealth, fame, and success will fade, but your soul will live on. Prepare now. Live ready. Walk with God daily. Isaiah 55:6 — “Seek ye the Lord while he may be found, call ye upon him while he is near.” ALTAR CALL / PRAYER Lord, help me to number my days. I turn away from sin and surrender my life to You. Teach me to live ready and faithful, in Jesus’ name. Amen.
