Listen you young men...!

Titus 2:6-8 NKJV

Likewise, exhort the young men to be sober-minded, in all things showing yourself to  be  a pattern of good works; in doctrine showing integrity, reverence, incorruptibility, sound speech that cannot be condemned, that one who is an opponent may be ashamed, having nothing evil to say of you.

† Shalom †......! Day #163. Do you know that you are aught to be an example to everyone, a pattern of good works? Let us pray. Father, we pray that our lives will be a living testimony to others that would impact and encourage them to live in Your grace and the salvation You've given. Thank You Jesus. In Jesus name we ask and pray, amen!

Friends, there's five thing we will look into today. As a believer, we must live a life that's filled with testimonies. Why? Because we are representing or shall I say Ambassadors of God wherever we are. People are watching the way we live, we talk, we do things and they are just waiting to catch us and condemned us for our wrong doing.  They are just waiting to accuse us for any faults they can find.

The five things we going to look into is:

1. A pattern of good works.
» we are the results of the good work the Lord has worked in us therefore our l8ve must shine forth His glory,  His goodness,  His love. The old wineskin cannot be mix with the new wine, it will burst . We are the good works of God, we represent God to this world, to people around us. Unknowingly people are making us as their role models and that's the reason our lives must be a good example. We must set a good example not a lousy example.

2. Integrity
» As a believer, as a Children's of God, we must not lose our integrity. Sometimes we become so cheap in our attitude, the way we talk and so on. You must know yhis truth that you are sons and daughters of God therefore live as the King's children and not as a person have lost their identity.

3. Reverence.
» Reverence means respected. If you want to gain people trust and respect therefore you must be a man and a woman of your word. You don't say something and do something else. Respect comes when we are honest and true to people. Respect because of age that's a normal thing but for an older person to respect a younger person, that's something unusual. Respect is earn through your attitude, character and actions.

4. Incorruptibility
» You are the incorruptible seed of God. But many seed are fallen on the stoney grounds. Many good seeds becomes bad seed by influences of the world.  Be not corrupted by the world's ways but be planted and rooted in the word of God.

5. Sound speech
» let your speech be clear. Let not anyone use the things you speak against you. As I mentioned earlier the devil is just waiting to catch you. Even tge way you preach... Preach with full of integrity, power of the Holy Spirit. Amen!

This verse is focus on the young man and woman. It says that we are to be sober-minded. Which means to be sane, to be controlled, knowing what you are doing. Next the 5 points are the way you must conduct your life as a youth.

Let this day be the day of the Lord!
