YOUNG PEOPLE 1 [Understanding Foundation]

"YOUNG PEOPLE, it’s wonderful to be young! ENJOY EVERY MINUTE OF IT. Do everything you want to do; take it all in. BUT REMEMBER THAT YOU MUST GIVE AN ACCOUNT TO GOD FOR EVERYTHING YOU DO."
Ecclesiastes 11:9 (NLT)

• The youthful time of your life is important, because it is the foundation laying stage of your life. How your future would be or look like is determined in the youthful time. Thus, the time should not be wasted.

• It is a time to invest in the preparation of what you would be, not the time to be involved in cultism or any other youthful lusts and exuberance.
• If you allowed the excitement of youth to overtake you, and you neglected God, you might regret later in life: "DON'T LET THE EXCITEMENT OF YOUTH CAUSE YOU TO FORGET YOUR CREATOR. HONOUR HIM IN YOUR YOUTH BEFORE YOU GROW OLD AND SAY, “LIFE IS NOT PLEASANT ANYMORE” (Ecclesiastes 12:1 (NLT).

• The step of salvation is the first most important decision you would need to make in life. Accept Jesus Christ as your Lord and Saviour which is the foundation of whatever you would become in life.

• When you established a relationship and fellowship with God, It would help you to discover the purpose and plan of God for your life early; and the quicker you find yourself at the centre of God's Will and about fulfilling His plans for you in life, the better.
• Honour God in your life by pursuing to know Him the more and grow in your fellowshipping with Him. Some had believed they wanted to use their youthful time to pursue money, and after they have made a fortune, they would then be committed to God at the latter time of their lives.
• It is the desire and aspiration of every person to live long, and that to the old age, but what suggests to you that you would be on earth for that long?
• Death can come at any time, and If you had no relationship with God through Christ Jesus; eternal destruction, hell, would be the end of the person who died in such state.

• Also, whilst you are still young, invest your time in knowledge, aspire to know and be an authority in whatever you are assigned to do.

• If you failed and missed some vital opportunities in your youthful age, you might not be able to regain them quickly, or might not at all again given such opportunity.
• Besides, you have a time schedule for the assignment God has for you. The purpose which you are created to fulfill might be delayed If you are not circumspect, thus a delay in the fulfilment of It.
• And a delay on your part in the fulfilment of the purpose might move God to reassign the work or the assignment to another person who would be able to do it. Thus, the earliest you discover purpose and God's plan and be committed to it, the best.

• It is a sombering thought that some people live their entire lives without discovering the purpose and plan of God for their lives. And this usually occurs when they missed it at the foundational stage of their lives, their youthful age—when they were young.

• If you failed to discover God's plan for your life, or you fulfilled It not after you had discovered it, you would be called to give an account of it: "BUT REMEMBER THAT YOU MUST GIVE AN ACCOUNT TO GOD FOR EVERYTHING YOU DO" (Ecclesiastes 11:9b NLT).
  BECAUSE the gifts and the calling of God are without repentance—irrevocable: "FOR THE GIFTS AND THE CALLING OF GOD ARE IRREVOCABLE" (Romans 11:29 NKJV).
• In other words, God would not revoke or take back the gifts and the calling given to you, but you are responsible for whatever you do with them (Numbers 23:19).

• You will not fail and regret at the end in Jesus' name.

• If there is any sickness in your body As you read this piece, I declare your healing now in the mighty name of Jesus Christ
• The hold is completely broken and never to rise again in Jesus' name.
  Peace!

STEPS TO SALVATION
• Take notice of this:
IF you are yet to take the step of salvation, that is, yet to be born-again, do it now, tomorrow might be too late (2 Corinthians 6:1,2; Hebrews 3:7,8,15).
a. Acknowledge that you are a sinner and confess your Sins (1 John 1:9); And ask Jesus Christ to come into your life (Revelation 3:20).
b. Confess that you believe in your heart that Jesus Christ is Lord, and that you confess it with your mouth, Thus, you accept Him As your Lord and Saviour (Romans 10:9,10).
c. Ask that He will write your name in the Book of Life (Philippians 4:3; Revelation 3:8).

• If you took the steps As highlighted above, It means you are saved—born-again. Join a Word based church in your area and Town or city, and be part of whatever they are doing there. Peace!
