    We have s0 much energy the zeal He gives us is hectic. We should use our energy in advancing His Kingd0m i knw Daddy wants to use the younger generati0n mightily we just hav to avail ourslvs

  3. Otakore Efe Lucky says:

    Yeah, our strength should be directed towards savin d lost souls… D joy of d Lord…

  4. Peggy says:

    the strength of the youths in today’s society: time, lesser commitments as compared to working adults. Hence, we can make use of these advantages to venture into the areas of campus outreaches, to be a strength and a contributing factor to the growth of the church.

  5. Eben says:

    Do what d father bids u. live for your maker! honour those above you, dear youth….

  6. Eleanor Wong says:

    so easily said but sometimes so hard to keep to our word. yes we should use it to advanced His kingdom but we also need to look deep into ourselves first, then look around to the areas in front of us, then further away from us. are there areas where we held ourselves back from our Father? i’m ashamed but i gotta admit that at times, i do, be it consciously or unconsciously.

    • Eben says:

      His grace is sufficient for you!
      Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding….Prov 3:5 and following verses.

  7. febry says:

    I agree but it is not easy to do that sometimes I focus on my neighborhood and never think to pull through it all for the sake of pleasing God.
    Can you help me to do that?

  8. Nick Chen says:

    Set the believers an example in speech, in conduct, in love, in faith, in purity.

    (1 Tim 4:12b)

  9. Eleanor Wong says:

    febry: hmm….i do that too …..sometimes….no, i do that many times….sad to say. guess we should pray about it and ask God to help us set our hearts right then practice putting God first, in thoughts and actions. maybe a lil note on the mirror would help remind us of this.

  10. geegee says:

    maybe use the skills that only young ppl can have… like mm… our energy, time, physical strengths – to do the things that the elderly, children, or busy adults cant do

  11. Maduka Obinna says:

    Fellow xtian youngsters,’..remember thy Creator in d days of ur youth’ the preacher councels in Ecclesiates.now if we don’t honour God through our services to Him when is more apporpriate? My prayer’s dat God’ll give us d grace 2 honour Him wit our lives as youths & continue to older years leaving a good legacies 4 d coming generation.shalom

  12. Faith-Lois says:

    I guess I’ve just been rebuked. I could read&study my Bible,pray,sing hymns&listen to gospel music&messages,for hours,attend fellowship,but would not wait for youth meetings,attend choir practice,or stuff like that. I feel so impatient that its like I loose the blessings at end of it!
    I definitely need a change of attitude. Right guys?

    • febry says:

      i think that right lois..
      sometime i feel like u and i do that just for routine
      not for God..
      and i lost blessing from God..
      to change my attitude i’ll share with my pastor

  13. Faith-Lois says:

    Febry,thanks. I’ll do same.
    Febry,are you ‘febry’ because you were born in february? I was born in february. I’ld be happy,if its same with you. Cheers!!!

  14. kevin says:

    one thing I daily desire, that i may walk with God all the days of my life and make a change in my generation.

  15. Delysia says:

    When you are a child you learn and when you are a youth, it’s your first opportunity to work for the Lord, please don’t miss this chance, start right and you will walk on the right road throughout your life. Sow good seed and water it everyday (study God’s word) it will one day grow to be a beautiful tree and in time delicious fruit in abundance. Let’s all witness for our Heavenly Father, Jesus Christ and the Holy Spirit. I encourage all to talk of God’s love and praise God for all His wonderful blessings. Living a good christian life is the best best way to live life. Don’t ever get discouraged but fly like the eagles. SHINE your LIGHT whereever you are, one step at a time. GOD BLESS YOU.

    LOVE, KINDNESS, MEEKNESS, FRIENDLINESS, THOUGHTFULNESS and speaking lovingly, kindly are the best gifts. APPRECIATION is also a special gift.

    • Delysia says:

      Thank you for including me, I feel wonderful. God bless you always.

      Christian greetings,

      Delysia.

    the best for today’s youth to utilize his/her strength, is by recognizing the great destiny and responsibility they have. fulfilling purpose comes self-discovery. the youths are the leaders of tomorrow, they should conduct themselves without a sense of duty, knowing that God will hold us accountable to the strength, gifting and wisdom,he has given us.
