TOPIC: 4 Major Things Ruining Lots Of Young People (Part 2)

Ecclesiastes‬ ‭12:1‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
Remember now your Creator in the days of your youth, Before the difficult days come, And the years draw near when you say, “I have no pleasure in them”:

*Message*

*3. Pride*

Honor and respect are now far from many young people, as several are filled with pride, regarding themselves far beyond what they truly are.

It is becoming normal to see young chaps who talk anyhow to those ahead of them (see what’s happening on social media), and aren’t truly submissive to elders anymore (even to their own parents).

Well, one of the implications of this is that a lot will end up experiencing avoidable suffering. First, those ahead of them who should have helped draw them up easily, are now avoiding them (no elderly person wants to be dishonored by these kids). Secondly, they disobey the divine command of honoring the elderly, so our days may be long on earth.

The Bible admonishes- "Honor all people." (I Peter 2:17).

*4. Ignorance*

Foolishness abides in the hearts of many young people today. They don’t know wisdom, and they keep rejecting the way of wisdom.

Funnily, you see those in this cadre regarding themselves wise in their own eyes. The things they post on social media, for instance, keep exposing their ignorance and foolishness. They are ignorant of the ways of life.

*Young people must give great priority to God's wisdom that has been made available through Christ Jesus to be enabled to live a life of destiny that is devoid of headaches and errors that accustom the average young person in every generation.*

If you are a young person, ensure you never allow the enemy of your soul to entrap you into any of the things discussed here, and you are guaranteed a blissful existence.

*Prayers*
Ask for the grace to please the Lord with your youthful vigor.

When you walk, your steps will not be hindered, And when you run, you will not stumble.

These are end times, that's why most humans, including youths and mature adults have deviated from the widely respected and accepted norm. Things are really getting out of hands.
