Young and dangerous...!

Psalms 71:17-19 NKJV

O God, You have taught me from my youth; And to this day I declare Your wondrous works. Now also when I  am old and grayheaded, O God, do not forsake me, Until I declare Your strength to this generation, Your power to everyone who is to come. Also Your righteousness, O God, is very high, You who have done great things; O God, who is like You?

Shalom! Day #241. Do you know that you should not let anyone to despise your youth or even look down at yourself for being a youth but in every ways of your life, you must be an example to everyone? Let's pray. Father, in every ways of our life we want to be an example to everyone. Let us not be given into our youthful and lustful desires, but in every ways be an example of Your life. In Jesus name we ask and pray, amen!

The Bible says in I Timothy 4:12 NKJV Let no one despise your youth, but be an example to the believers in word, in conduct, in love, in spirit, in faith, in purity. When you are still young and dangerous, use it for the glory of God. Let your life be led by the Holy Spirit. Why I say "Young and Dangerous" because when you are still young, you tend to do dangerous things, such as, indulging in adultery, drugs, party and clubbing, many unhealthy activities, murder, robbing and many more. Let us be given into the works of God while we are still young. There's no point of you starting to serve when you are retired if you didn't start it while you are still young. Serving isn't a package in your retirement, you start serving God while you are still young and you grow spiritually from there, from faith to faith and from glory to glory. Be an example of Christ to this generation. It's not easy but it's worth trying and continuing to stand for this generation.

In today's verse, king David is being grateful unto God for choosing him at a very young age, and began to use him. Let us allow God to teach us and show us the great and mighty works of God in our lives and through our lives, and as we grow, let us.continue to boldly declare His wondrous works to this generation. Being a youth is easy when you do it the right way. Yes, there are temptations but you are more than a conqueror,  come on you can do it! Being a youth isn't just about attending youth service or youth activities, but it means to be a witness of His wondrous works, to stand in the gap for this generation, to be an example to both young and old, to live a life that's pleasing unto God. Again I would like to repeat what I have said yesterday,  " The reason or the purpose of God creating us is so that He can have an intimate relationship with us as we continue to walk with Him, to serve Him to worship, to pray and communicate with Him and to read and meditate on His words. Now, the reason or the purpose of your life is to do the will of God, the great commission Matthew 28:18-20." Your lives.purpose isn't about how much of youth activities you are involved in, or how may revival meetings you attend but it's about how are with representing Christ to the world. Are witnessing Christ to our family, friends and colleagues?  Are we being an example Christ? This are somethings for you to ponder on. Be young and dangerous for God and let the devil be afraid of you!

GOD BLESS YOU...!

Let this day be the day of the Lord!
