FACE YOUR FUTURE

“Let thine eyes look right on, and let thine eyelids
look straight before thee”
- Proverb 4:25

A man driving his family on a long journey was
once asked by his son why he glued his eyes on
the road and seemed to be impassive about the
exciting scenes they passed through. ‘I’m on the
driver’s seat and the fate of the entire family
depends on my ability to focus. If we must get to
our destination, then I must keep focus.’ Joseph,
Nehemiah, Ezra, Daniel and few other youths in
Bible times seemed to understand early in life that
they were in the driver’s seat and that the fate of a
nation rested on their shoulders. They, therefore,
decided to keep focus and face the future without
being detracted by mundane things of this world.
Some youths allow themselves to be detracted
because many young boys and girls did not see
themselves as the future solution of the
predicament in their homes and community. Stay
focused because, not only your future, but that of
uncountable others depend on you.
Challenge: Face the future with a focused mindset

Prayer: Help me, Lord, to stay focus

Quote: Stay focused

BEAUTY AND VIRTUE
“And while he yet spake with them, Rachel came with her father's sheep: for she kept them” - Genesis 29:9
Rachel was a pretty girl who kept her father’s sheep. She did not allow her beauty to obsess her. She engaged in virtuous services in the family and she was well known for that in her community. Today many pretty young persons neglect virtue for crime and immoral lifestyle. They dance nude, participate in films and adverts that project drug abuse, gun trotting businesses and destroy the societal morality with their God-given beauty. They soon fade away with age. God is against those who use their gifts for evil. He promised to judge “all such as are clothed with strange apparel” (Zephaniah 1:. Christian youths must avoid watching videos of these strange boys and girls who influence their world with immorality and crime. God is watching you. There is a lot you can do. Support you parents’ trade. Do the domestic chores and learn a vocation. That is a worthy step. Challenge: No profit in things that fade
Prayer: Deliver me from pride and compromise
Quote: God is watching you

GOSPEL ADDICTION
“I beseech you, brethren, - ye know the house of Stephanas, that it is the firstfruits of Achaia, and that they have addicted themselves to the ministry of the saints” - 1 Corinthians 16:15
Youths have peculiar addictions to things that do not count for eternity. David the psalmist speaks of his zeal for the things of God and his church. He was a gospel author, writer, praise singer and an instrumentalist yet he never lost in any battle of the lord. Many youths do not show interest in the things of God and his church. They find occupation in mundane things such as jesting, playing and watching games. Are you like that? How much do you care about things that glorify God? Every saved boy or girl is called to duty of spreading the gospel. Neglecting it is disobedience. To be careless with the truth is to be guilty of the blood of sinners. To play away the time instead of using it for purposeful preaching is to despise the master’s mission on earth. Like the master, the apostles never delayed to spread the good news of God’s kingdom. Preach in love to the dying world.
Challenge: Have you shared the gospel with someone this week? Prayer: Teach me to serve you more and more
Quote: Preach in love

YOUR MARKING SCHEME
“And God saw everything that he had made, and, behold, it was very good. And the evening and the morning were the sixth day” - Genesis 1:31
A scheme is a set plan of work which usually follows in stages. The teacher after setting questions also sets a marking scheme to assess the students who answer these questions. It prevents partiality as it guides every bit of the marks awarded. Our text declared all that God made to be very good. Throughout the chapter God assessed his work before adding new ones. You should be able to challenge yourself with past questions and new questions to know what is expected of you based on the syllabus of the subject. See that you know the basics before seeking to learn the complex. Learn theories and hypothesis before practical applications. Also evaluate your spiritual state whether you are growing or stagnant. Remember that God is the author of all knowledge. Trust him to help you. Pray before and after every study. He shall never fail you. Keep on the holy tracks because our redeemer is near at hand. Challenge: Learn from the known to the unknown
Prayer: Give me wisdom to do personal assessment
Quote: Evaluate your spiritual state

WHEN YE FAST
“Moreover when ye fast, be not, as the hypocrites, of a sad countenance: for they disfigure their faces, that they may appear unto men to fast. Verily I say unto you, They have their reward” - Matthew 6:16
Fasting while giving adequate time for prayer is taught by Jesus Christ. In His earthly ministry, Jesus also demonstrated the power of prayers backed by fasting (Matthew 17:20-21). There is increased faith by holy youth who fast to undo the impossible. Those who fast and pray must be free from sin. However, when you fast do not publicise it but spend quality time to pray for your heart desires. Through it you have power to overcome the wicked one, cast out devils and heal the sick. Regulate your fast so that you don’t endanger your health. Set your goals before you start a fast and praying programme. Fasting and praying exercise can be declared by nations, town leaders, church or family. It is good to participate prayerfully. The prompt answers to the fasting and prayer by Jehoshaphat, Ezra, Daniel, and the early church should encourage you to fast and pray.
Challenge: When you fast, be sure you pray in faith Prayer: Give me grace to fast Lord when necessary
Quote: Be free from defilement and sin
Further Reading: Ezra 8:21 – 23; Acts 13:2 - 4

PRAISE AND SALVATION

“Whoso offereth praise glorifieth me: and to him
that ordereth his conversation aright will I shew
the salvation of God”
- Psalm 50:23

Godly praise is one neglected weapon among
many young people. They delight in meaningless
songs and unedifying music. Biblical songs, music
and dance must be centered on the glory of God.
The songs of Moses; Mariam and the women of
Israel after crossing the Red Sea; and Paul and
Silas in Philippian jail point to the purpose of
praise. Praise brings down the power of God. It
edifies the saints and can be as messages even to
the sinners. However it is not all praise singers
that are acceptable to God. Our text talks about
those who order “their conversations alright,” who
have not yielded their mouth to evil words. They
are saved from sin and yield their thoughts and
tongues to godliness. Sharing testimonies of what
God has done for us is another way of praising
God. Do not forget to praise Him for His provision,
protection, preservation, power and promotion. Our
God is worthy of our praises at all times.
Challenge: Edify yourself and peers with godly
praise

Prayer: I will praise you my God and maker

Quote: Our God is worthy

COSTLY TIME

“For all the Athenians and strangers which were
there spent their time in nothing else, but either
to tell, or to hear some new thing”
- Acts 17:21

Michael Leboeuf said “waste your money and
you’re only out of money but waste your time and
you’ve lost part of your life”. Time is equally given
to every youth. No one gets too much or two little.
Our text today describes the people who spend
their time telling or hearing new things. Their
lifestyle also negatively influenced strangers that
came into their midst. They had no plan for their
time and so time rolled past them without
achieving something tangible in life. Paul could not
be enticed to be like them but he used the
opportunity to share the news of Jesus and God
the Creator who they had not known. Youth who
delight in gisting and jesting soon find that the day
goes too fast that they fail to complete their
homework. The school session soon rounds off
with examination timetable out when they have not
even gathered their complete notes for each
subject. Your good use of time each day
determines your success or failure in life.
Challenge: Plan your time and your life is planned

Prayer: Lord, this day I separate myself from time
wasters

Quote: Share the news of Jesus

NO REDEFINITION

“Every word of God is pure: he is a shield unto
them that put their trust in him”
- Proverbs 30:5

The United States of America Supreme Court on
Friday June 26, 2015 legalized gay marriage. In a
reaction to this ruling evangelist Russell Moore
said “the supreme court can do many things, but
cannot get Jesus back in that tomb. Jesus of
Nazareth is still alive.” Another Evangelist, Franklin
Graham added that “long before our government
came into existence; marriage was created by the
One who created man and woman- Almighty God
and his decisions are not for review and revision
by any man-made court. God is clear about the
definition of marriage in his holy word” (Genesis
2:24). Men’s approval of evil won’t change God’s
law. Beware; we are in the end time. The Holy
bible is written and older than any living persons.
It has the final say in all things. Hold to the pure
word of God and dare to defend it always, it cannot
change. Blessed are all they who walk by the Holy
word of God. Never get confused by modern day
deviation from Gods word. Hold fast and obey till
the end.
Challenge: Immortal man cannot change nor wave
the law of immortal God

Prayer: Let my heart be fixed on your word oh
Lord

Quote: Hold fast and obey till the end

FLEE THE HUNTER
“Deliver thyself as a roe from the hand of the hunter, and as a bird from the hand of the fowler” - Proverbs 6:5
A roe is a type of deer that lives in the forest. It is known to be very smart and quick to flee at the sight of its hunter. The devil is the hunter of youths; he sets several attractions with evil plan to catch the careless youth. Jesus described the devil as a “thief” who comes to steal, kill and destroy. (John 10:10). As a youth, he may use your friends, mates, deceptive adverts on the net to attract you to disobey God. Immoral persons have gained entrance into youths through free meals in so called lunch time outing. Others are recruited to secret cults from party halls and deceitful feasts. “The adulteress will hunt for the precious life (Proverbs 6:26). Your life is precious to God, your parents, the church and the world. As a Christian youth, guard against these satanic in-roads to evil and defeat. Be prayerful and watchful, ever ready to flee like Joseph when you see any appearance of evil. Challenge: What will you exchange for your soul?
Prayer: Lord, deliver me from evils
Quote: Flee like Joseph

ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION

“And thou shalt have a paddle upon thy weapon;
and it shall be, when thou wilt ease thyself
abroad, thou shalt dig therewith, and shalt turn
back and cover that which cometh from thee”
- Deuteronomy 23:13

The North African country of Mauritania recently
banned the importation and manufacturing of
plastic bags in order to protect lives of marines
and coastal animals. The government, is sourcing
the use of biodegradable alternatives instead.
Animals and plants, no matter how small, are
precious to God. They add to the beauty and
balancing of ecology. Pollution and things that
inhibit natural habitat where they live endanger
them. Waste not dispose into appropriate places
may add dangerous chemical intoxicants into
rivers or ground water. The result is low yield and
sometimes death. Tree planting has become a
national issue in some countries to prevent desert
encroachment. No wonder God forbade Israel from
indiscriminate cutting down of trees even in an
enemy territory. Do not throw waste into water
ways, open field or litter the house with them. A
Christian youth must be orderly and decent.
Challenge: An unhealthy environment breeds ill
health

Prayer: Lord make me conscious of keeping to
environmental laws

Quote: Be orderly and decent

Ungodly youths are usually angry and aggressive. They make request with frowns. Youth have destructive records like burning down schools and government buildings, many of which house documents meant for their future. In their anger they spoil their inheritance. The days of uncontrolled reactions are soon replaced with years of regrets and sorrow. In our text today, Simeon and Levi killed all male Shechemites for the sin of only one man. Believing youth must not learn the way of the heathen and backsliders. Learn to speak soft words which turn away wrath (Proverbs 15:1).

Fayose you're right. Buhari is sectional. there's oil in my LGA but the government does not do anything to explore it. instead Buhari is going to north to look for oil which he will end up discover nothing. there are so many oil producing states which needs more exploration. Buhari is very stupid. God punish him.
