Youths, Remember your Creator

There can't be a product without the manufacturer. No books without the author. Human beings cannot exist without the Creator. You're made by God, hence, you need God to function the way you're meant to be.

Youths are known for life, strength and vitality. Some of the things some of us could do when we're younger, we couldn't do them now. We live in a world that the devil is promoting his kingdom through social media, entertainment, and different forms of perversions. We often forget the goal of the devil is to kill, steal and destroy. Devil targets children and youth because they're the hope of tomorrow. Parents need to arise and train their children in the way of the Lord so that they can have a peaceful future.
In the same vein, youths need to wake up and draw closer to God.

Remember [thoughtfully] also your Creator in the days of your youth [for you are not your own, but His], before the evil days come or the years draw near when you will say [of physical pleasures], “I have no enjoyment and delight in them”
Ecclesiastes 12:1 AMP

I've seen folks who live  in regrets in their old age because they  didn't know God growing up. No God, no purpose, no direction, no fulfillment!

I suggest each youth ask himself or herself these questions:

1. Who am I?
2. Where am I from?
3. Why am I here?
4. What can I do?
5. Where am I going? Myles Munroe

With the help of God you will be able to answer the above questions.
If you know the reason for your existence you will not be tossed to and fro by the wind of this world. Once you discovered that you're the image and likeness of God, you will not allow peer pressure to overcome you. You will depend on God and not allow the enemy of your soul (the devil) to ruin your life.
Another question is -  do you know God?

How can I have a relationship with God?

1.Confess your sins to God. Romans 3:10, 23; 5:12

2.Ask that the blood of Jesus cleanse you from all your sins. Hebrew 9:22, 1John 1:7-9.

3.Ask Jesus to come and reign in your life.

4.Forgive yourself and move on.  

"Therefore if anyone is in Christ [that is, grafted in, joined to Him by faith in Him as Savior], he is a new creature [reborn and renewed by the Holy Spirit]; the old things [the previous moral and spiritual condition] have passed away. Behold, new things have come [because spiritual awakening brings a new life]."

2 Corinthians 5:17 AMP

5.Read your Bible and pray everyday.

6.Pray that God will lead you to a Bible believing church and fellowship with them.

Prayer

Lord Jesus, I come to you today; save me and I shall be saved. Heal me and I shall be healed. Forgive me of all my sins (confess them). Have mercy on me. Come and be the Lord over my spirit, soul and body. Help me not to go back to my old way of life - give me a new beginning. I am yours Lord! In Jesus name I pray. Amen

Important Information

Giving your life to Jesus does not mean you will not experience challenges in life. Infact, you may be persecuted because of your faith in Jesus. You may experience pain, temptations, trials, disasters, loss and so on. In the event that any of these things happen to you, know assuredly that He is with you. The difference between you and an unbeliever is  God's promises - His presence and the ultimate reward which is eternity with Him in heaven.

"When you pass through the waters, I will be with you; And through the rivers, they will not overwhelm you. When you walk through fire, you will not be scorched, Nor will the flame burn you."

Isaiah 43:2 AMP

"Blessed [gratefully praised and adored] be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of mercies and the God of all comfort, who comforts and encourages us in every trouble so that we will be able to comfort and encourage those who are in any kind of trouble, with the comfort with which we ourselves are comforted by God."

2 Corinthians 1:3‭-‬4 AMP

If you continue to be in good standing with God; when you die, you will go to heaven.

“Not everyone who says to Me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter the kingdom of heaven, but only he who does the will of My Father who is in heaven."

Matthew 7:21 AMP
