Part 1 and Part 2 delve into the concept of maximizing and multiplying your time by rethinking it. Many of you will be required to do more in the coming years, as God calls upon you to be more fruitful and faithful.

But how can you achieve that?

We've established that everyone has the same 24 hours in a day, yet some individuals manage to accomplish more within this time frame.

We've discussed the importance of identifying what I call "time multipliers." Time multipliers are the factors that enable you to achieve more within a given timeframe. With the same amount of time, one can accomplish more.

  1. The Multiplier of Skills & Knowledge

  2. The Multiplier of Sound Strategy

  3. The Multiplier of God's Miracles

In this article, I will focus on the second one.

When God Breaks In, It's the Ultimate Time Saver

During my time in a youth group, I remember praying for a particular young person.

I shared the gospel with him, invited him to church, and tried to tell him about Jesus. No response. No progress.

I felt discouraged.

However, as the years passed, I crossed paths with him again, and to my surprise, he was now married with children. Even more remarkable, he was following Jesus and committed to a church!

This deeply warmed my heart.

Here's the crucial aspect of multiplying time: there are things that only God can accomplish.

And until then, working on stuff can be a waste of time. Until God intervenes, there's literally nothing we can do to bring about these changes.

Many people waste their time attempting to do something that only God can do.

If you want to multiply your time, recognize the moments that God is moving and move in, and when God is not, pray and wait.

Before you know it, you’ll be perfectly keeping tabs on the many areas of your life where you’re waiting for God to move.

And at the right time, you’re jumping in!

Partnering with God through the "Try, Assess, Pray Method"

How do you do always know when God is moving so that you can be efficient with your time?

Let me introduce you to a framework that has proven invaluable to me.

I also observe it in the life of Jesus.

This framework will prevent you from squandering your time and help you always stay connected to what God is doing in any given moment.

It's called the "try-assess-pray method." It's a way of living and serving God that allows you to partner with God powerfully.
