TOPIC: LET NO MAN DESPISE THY YOUTH, BE AN EXAMPLE TO OTHERS
SEPTEMBER Saturday 15th
TEXT: 2 Thessalonians 3:7-9
KEY VERSE: Let no man despise thy youth; but be thou an example of the believers, in word, in conversation, in charity, in spirit, in faith, in purity. 1 Timothy 4: 12
You might have just begun your Christian life or probably you are a young man and have to deal with older men. The scripture is saying, let no man despise thy youth. Rather, set the believers an example in speech, in conduct, in love, in faith and in purity. Do not be a jester, talking and laughing uncontrollably and giving no peace to the environment. That would be setting a bad example that will defile the environment. There was a woman that always cut off a protruded part of the chicken whenever she was cutting it to cook. One day, somebody who had been observing her asked why she cut that part off, noting that it was the part some people love to eat. She laughed and said that was how she saw her mother doing it. The person asked, “You didn’t ask your mother why she cuts it off?” She explained that she didn’t ask but saw her doing it and she too began to do the same. The person went to her mother and asked, “Mama, your daughter said she learnt something from you; that this portion of the chicken should be cut off before cooking, what is the reason?” She too laughed and said, “That is how I saw my mother doing it.” Perhaps if it were possible to continue the enquiry up to the great grandmother the answer would have been the same.
Let people see goodness in you and emulate it. You will be spreading good. Righteous character, edifying words, good manners will be spreading and blessing people. The way you live your life will influence people around you and promote righteousness, Christian love, friendliness, gentleness and it will put smile on people’s faces. People will learn and spread the goodness to others. Be an example to others in your relationship with God and your devotional life. Be an example in faith and in overcoming fear. Elisha’s servant learnt from Elisha. The enemy surrounded them but Elisha was unmoved. Teach your children how to believe God. Teach the church, teach the family, practice it. Be an example in holiness, in a pure heart, in undefiled dressing. Let your light so shine before men that they may see your goodness and glorify your Father in heaven. The Lord bless you, the Lord give grace to you. Amen.
Thought for the day: Christian maturity does not come by age but through obedience.
Song for the day: My life shall be a testimony.
Bible reading for the day:
Proverbs 28-29; 2 Corinthians 7
