TOPIC: DO NOT DESPISE YOUR YOUTH
Text: 2 Timothy 3:15-17
Key Verse: 1 Timothy 4:12 “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”.

This text reveals what the scripture produces in a believer. “The man of God” referred to in this text has nothing to do with age. It deals with faith and holiness. As a young man, Timothy was a man of God. As a youth Paul charged him, “Let no man despise your youth that the man of God through the scriptures might be perfect, thoroughly furnished unto all good works.” One of the prominent persons that worked with Apostle Paul was Timothy and he was a youth. He was a young disciple. Paul makes it clear that when it comes to Christianity, youths are not to be despised. Goliath made that mistake and lost his life. When it comes to Christian service, nobody should despise the youth. The glory of the youth is his strength. Therefore, let no man however old, despise thy youth. Youth, you too must not despise yourself and underrate what you can do for Jesus. Do not think you are incapable of doing some things. You can do great things for Jesus. God chose you as a youth to serve Him.

Paul got a youth for ministry service, as a co-minister with him and working together, they established many churches. There was increase among the believers. Timothy was a disciple, the son of a Jewish woman and that woman believed the gospel of Jesus. Not all Jews believed, but she did. His father was a Greek. Concerning Timothy’s life, verse 2 says that Timothy was well reported of by the brethren that were at Lystra and Iconium. The people that saw that young man knew that he was a true Christian, a true believer. The people in that environment said this young man was a believer indeed and recommended him to Paul, affirming that he was fit to go out with him for ministry. Youth, make yourself available as a holy vessel and battle axe in the hands of God.

Thought for the day: God chose you as a youth to serve Him.
Song for the day: My lifetime, I will give God my lifetime
Bible reading for the day:
Judges 20-21; Luke 11:1-28

Them That Sin, Rebuke Before All

God's blessing shall be following you continually for taking the time to study. Them That Sin, Rebuke Before All   Monday 24th March Text: 1 Timothy 5: 19-22 Key verse: Them that sin rebuke before all, that others also may fear. 1 Timothy 5:20 God wants you to avoid doing evil while saying you want to go to heaven. You may be a member of a worldly church and be saying, “It is my tribal church; if I leave them, they will be angry. I do not want them to be angry.” Is it God you want to make angry by your compromise? You will see the anger of God indeed. It is through the word that you perfect the people, and as a result, the Bible says, “Thou shalt not suffer sin upon your brother. Thou shall reprove him.” Your brother or sister has done a bad thing, and you do not bother. You leave them in their sins. They may do the same to other people. The Lord says, “Correct them.” Do not allow sin to be in them because sin will take them to hell. The Bible says, “Them that sin, rebuke befo...

The Source Of Faith

God's blessing shall be following you continually for taking the time to study. The Source Of Faith  Tuesday 18th March Text: Romans 1:16-17 Key Verse: So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God. Romans 10:17 What is the foundation for our faith? The faith of the just man has the following sources, from where it gets its inspiration. The Word Of God: The foundation of the faith of the just, is the word of God.  The word of God is the production room of the faith which the just exercises. The faith of the just has its foundation in what God has said in His word.  Faith seeks for what God has said to stand upon.  Have you seen the promises of God for you, from the word? Have you seen God's message for you, in the scriptures?  Believe it absolutely, and it shall surely come to pass. This will enhance your faith for subsequent needs of your life. “God is not a man, that He should lie; neither the son of man, that He should repent: hath He said, ...
