INVESTING IN ETERNITY

"For whosoever will save his life shall lose it; but whosoever shall lose his life for my sake and the gospel's, the same shall save it" (Mark 8:35)

"He is no fool who gives what he cannot keep to gain that which he cannot lose." A powerful creed, an uncommon mind-set, but that was Jim Elliot’s finest quote. He was a young man martyred for Christ in the remote jungles of Ecuador in South America. Jim and his four friends had been trying to reach the Auca Indians with the gospel of Jesus Christ. That was 56 years ago. Today, the gospel light shines among the Aucas. They still have some primitive existence, but now they have also their native Christian preachers, dentists, pharmacists, and teachers.

Some of them, now converted, share the gospel with groups of Western tourists who come to savour their "stone age existence.” Jim Elliot lived his creed and now eternal rewards await him and his band. But now, wait for a moment! Elliot’s creed is a fine interpretation of the words of Christ in our text today. Your life slips through your fingers every passing day. It may soon be gone. Therefore, don’t live just for the moment; invest in eternity by preaching the gospel.

A DAILY DUTY

"And in the morning, rising up a great while before day, he went out, and departed into a solitary place and there prayed" (Mark 1:35)

Gordon Lindsay says, "Prayer isn't a last resort to turn to in an emergency. Prayer is an essential part of our day-to-day life. When we learn the secret of praying, our whole life will become a succession of miracles." One important duty a believer owes himself and others is prayer. It is the easiest activity any Christian can carry out, yet it is the most neglected. Since you can pray anywhere and at any time, it is easier than other Christian engagements, such as evangelism, Bible reading and visitation. Why then do many find it hard to pray?

Prayer is a duty you owe to yourself because it provides you with: (1) strength for every battle, (2) guidance for the day, (3) contact with heaven, (4) uncommon favours, (5) open doors of opportunities, (6) victory over the forces of darkness and (7) peace of mind. It is your duty to pray for others: your family, Church members, friends, teachers, political leaders and your country. For your prayers not to be abomination before God, be sure you are truly a child.

JOY UNSPEAKABLE

"Whom having not seen, ye love; in whom, though now ye see him not, yet believing, ye rejoice with joy unspeakable and full of glory" (1 Peter 1:8.)

When Daddy pulled in and pressed the horn, waiting for somebody to open the gate, David reluctantly walked to the gate. He thought his dad’s friend had brought him again. But on sighting his father behind the wheel of a newly bought vehicle, he jumped up shouting at the top of his voice. David was extremely joyous and happy. So many things make us happy like David on earth. But the greatest of all joy is what the Bible refers to in 1 Peter 1:8. It is more than winning the best of scholarships in the world. It is more than having distinction in your exam. It is a happiness that only God can give. No man can give you this joy and the whole money in the world cannot purchase it for you. It is the joys of new birth that will make you live eternally with God in heaven. You can have joy now as you surrender your life to Christ.

REAL REPENTANCE

"Repent therefore of this thy wickedness, and pray God, if perhaps the thought of thine heart may be forgiven thee" (Act 8:22)

Repentance is the complete turning away from all sins and its deceitful pleasures. Many times, you overlook the benefits of repentance. The Bible exalts the virtues of faith, perseverance and the doing of good deeds but repentance is the most important of all the spiritual exercises. As a youth who wants to be saved from eternal damnation, you must repent from your sinful ways. Sincere repentance brings the following rewards: leads to pardon and salvation from sin; the sinner receives justification; saves sinner from eternal punishment in hell; qualifies you for genuine water baptism; confirms your faith in Christ; makes answers to your prayers possible and it gives you a right standing with God. Above all, there is joy in heaven. True repentance manifests in a proper attitude towards sin (2 Corinthians 7: 10, 11). The Bible says "Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new" (2 Corinthian 5:17).

DO YOU LOOK UP?

"Neither is there any creature that is not manifest in his sight: but all things are naked and opened unto the eyes of him with whom we have to do" (Hebrews 4:13)

A story was told of a woman who went to harvest potatoes from somebody's farm with her son. She positioned her son and instructed him to alert her if he sighted anyone. Having stolen enough tubers, she went home with her son. On their way home, she commended her son for watching diligently. Responding, he said "but mum, I did not look up". This young lad in his response implied that he did not look up to see if anyone was watching!

This is a challenge to every youth. Obviously, 'Someone' above watches, sees and records. Dear youth, you cannot hide anything from God. Divine satellite is always at work. Crime is so rife today that it is no more frowned at. The Bible says, "Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap." (Galatians 6:7). Be warned, God sees and will punish every sin. Unrepentant sinners will spend eternity in hell. To escape God’s wrath, confess your sins to Him and surrender your life to Jesus today.

DAUGHTERS OF JOB

"And in all the land were no women found so fair as the daughters of Job" (Job 42:15)

Job was a man who feared God greatly. Besides, he was a family man and very wealthy by all standards. He diligently guided his family towards living a life free from sin by praying for them constantly. Although Satan accused Job that his faith was not genuine, God was pleased with him and permitted Satan to test Job. Job’s test resulted in the loss of all his wealth, children and health. Yet, his faith in God remained unshaken.

God visited Job and gave him more than all he lost, including the most beautiful daughters in the land. They were not careless like Dinah, the daughter of Jacob, who exposed herself to immorality by befriending unbelieving daughters of the land. True beauty comes from God, without the make-ups and attachments of the world. Genuine faith in God through repentance, pure life and daily walking with God is the secret of true beauty that compares to the daughters of Job. Holiness is the beauty of believers.

CLEAR CONSCIENCE

"And herein do I exercise myself, to have always a conscience void of offence toward God, and toward men" (Acts 24:16)

From childhood, Gregory was brought up in a religious way. As he began secondary education away from home, his unique upbringing was challenged by the life of other youths he met in the boarding house. His friends encouraged himto join them to leave the school dormitory for a rented room outside the school premises without the consent of their families. For this, they stole some college items for their use in the rented apartment. But Gregory later met with Jesus who changed his life and made him a new creature. However, what he stole from the school still troubled him until he went to the head of the school and confessed his past deeds to him. Thank God, the principal forgave him and his peace was restored. As a Christian youth, it is not enough to confess your sins to God make all your restitutions either to individuals, your parents or school so that you will have a conscience that is pure.

PECULIAR PEOPLE

"But ye are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, an holy nation, a peculiar people" (1 Peter 2:9)

Susan was the subject of a discourse among other high school girls in Los Angeles. She refused to join the bandwagon of the girls. She made up her mind not to indulge in the dirty acts and separated herself to the annoyance of the girls. Joan returned to ask one day, "Look Susan, yours is too much, why won't you check out with us today?" Susan replied: "I'm different now, I can't do that anymore, the grace of God in me won't let me."

There are different kinds of youth people in this world: The perverted, who live in sin, and the pardoned, pure and peculiar people of God, who are free from sin. Peculiar people have a heavenly deposit of grace and power that the unbeliever cannot understand. God requires this peculiar lifestyle not only from Old Testament saints but also from the New Testament believers.

CONCEITED CORPORAL

"Be clothed with humility: for God resisteth the proud, and giveth grace to the humble" (1 Peter 5:5)

In the Christian walk and in life generally you cannot outlive humility. The story was told of a horse rider who chanced upon a group of soldiers labouring to move a heavy log without success. A corporal was standing by, not helping. When the rider asked him why he was doing nothing, he replied, "I am the corporal; I give orders." The rider alighted and helped the soldiers to lift the log and it got moved. As the rider gently mounted his horse to ride away, he told the cocky corporal," The next time your men need help, send for the Commander-in-Chief. They later realised that the rider was President George Washington of the United States of America!

Humility is essential for interpersonal relations in the home, office, school and in the Church. There can be no meaningful progress where there is no mutual respect and submission. Lucifer lost heaven and Queen Vashti her exalted position because of lack of humility. "Be humble or you'll stumble," says Dwight L. Moody.

EMPTY PRIDE

"A man’s pride shall bring him low: but honour shall uphold the humble in spirit" (Proverbs 29:23)

There was a story of a young military officer, a colonel, who was just posted to a new station. This was at a time when mobile phone was not available and those who had telephones used only land lines. On resuming, the man wanted everyone around to know that he was well connected, and he used to blow his own trumpet. One day he was in his office and he heard a knock at the door. As soon as he invited the visitor to come in, he swiftly lifted the receiver from the cradle and started to talk. "Hello…, Oh General…, yes sir. I have heard sir. I will see you in the evening, sir." He dropped the receiver and looked at the Sergeant standing before him arrogantly. "That was the GOC. Yes, serge, what can I do for you?" "I came to connect your telephone sir!" replied the Sergeant.

MATCH YOUR NAME!

"...And it came to pass, that a whole year they assembled themselves with the church, and taught much people. And the disciples were called Christians first in Antioch" (Acts 11: 26)

It was said of Alexander the Great that one day, the guards brought before him an amazingly handsome young man. Alexander yelled from his seat, "What is his charge?" The guard said "COWARDICE SIR! He ran from battle, deserted his combats and fled from his duty!" The very idea of desertion incensed the great ruler but looking at the young man, he asks, "Soldier, what is your name?" Trembling in the harsh grasp of the guards he stammered "M-my n-name is Alexander, S-sir". Alexander the Great jumped to his feet raced from his throne to the young man and screamed "WHAT IS YOUR NAME?" "M-my n-n-na-name i-is Al-Alexander, Sir". Grabbing the boy by his collar, Alexander replied "Soldier! You either change your character OR YOU CHANGE YOUR NAME!"

SAVING KNOWLEDGE

"For in much wisdom is much grief and that he that increaseth knowledge increaseth sorrow" (Ecclesiastes 1:18)

The Bible prophesy that “knowledge shall increase in latter days’” is being fulfilled in our days. You can get information on almost anything and at any time through, internet, books, computers, mobile phones, and other devices. Sad enough, as knowledge of secular things increases; there is a decreasing awareness of God who created the world. There is an increasing apathy for the word of God among the youths. Most Christian youths prefer to read about things that inflame passion and damn the soul.

You need to daily read your Bible, other Christian literatures and devotional books because they give you knowledge about Christ who can save and deliver your soul from the destructions to come. When you apply the Scripture to your daily living, it will prepare you to live with God eternally. If you are born again, you have a responsibility to spread the knowledge that saves by telling your friends, classmates and neighbours about Jesus Christ.

LIGHT THE WORLD

"Ye are the light of the world. A city that is set on the hill cannot be hid" (Matthew 5:14)

The whole world was in dire need of light when Thomas Edison in 1879 rose to the front burner by inventing not just a glowing electric light, but one that had all elements required to make the shining light constant. Christ says you are the light of the world. It doesn’t say you are the light of the church but of the world. While the church is already aglow and bright, the world is in darkness.

Some youths profess to be lights but only in the church. The moment they are outside the church fence they are as dark as the world of sinners around them. These are not real lights because a real light never loses its radiant power no matter the level of darkness around. As youth, remember that only light can dispel darkness.

CORRUPT CHAT

"Let no corrupt communication proceed out of your mouth but that which is good to the use of edifying, that it may minister grace unto the hearer" (Ephesians 4:29)

Crooked talks are rife nowadays among all classes of people, including the youths. Perverted and unedifying words have led to riots in school, destruction of many communities, relationships, homes, loss of opportunities and hatred, and even murder, just to mention a few. Hence the Psalmist asked God to set a watch before his mouth and also keep the door of his lips (Psalm 141:3). As a Christian youth, your mouth must be cleansed because the Bible says “Let no corrupt communication proceed out of your mouth.” (Ephesians 4:29). Let your words be seasoned with the salt of kindness, love, encouragement, good news, and faith. Before you speak always remember that every word you speak shall be brought into judgement. Death and life are in the power of the tongues and those who love it shall eat its fruit (Proverbs 18:21)

"Upon my death please forward this box and its contents to Jack Bennett. It's the thing I value most in my life," wrote late Mr. Harold Belser in a note he left his son. There inside the gold box he found a beautiful gold pocket watch. Inside, he found these words engraved: "Jack Thanks for your time! — Harold Belser." "The thing he valued most...was...my time," Jack said in a low voice. Jack held the watch for a few minutes, then called his office and cleared his appointments for the next two days. "Why?" Janet, his assistant, asked. "I need some time to spend with my son," he said.

“Show me your friends and I`ll tell you who you are,” is a saying that has been around. It is good for Christian youths to make friends, but a greater care and prayer is needed before making a choice of friend. The kind of friendship between David and Jonathan in the Bible was mutually beneficial and was inspired by true love. You must know that some friends may not add any value to your life. Instead, they may seek ways to take your mind away from your study or from your faith. A godly youth should chose believing youths as friends. Do not be unequally yoked together with unbelievers. Make friends that will assist you grow both academically and in all spheres of life. Do not be too hasty to make friends but pray to God and ask Him for guidance.

POWER TO PREACH

"But ye shall receive power, after that the Holy Ghost is come upon you and ye shall be witnesses unto me..." (Acts 1:8.)

A true story was told of a man who threw away a stick of cigarette. He was with some Christians on their way to an evangelistic outreach after the Sunday service. The curious observer from behind went closer and picked up the cigarette and was shocked to see what the evangelist has in possession. After the outreach, the pastor called Sunday for questioning. He did not deny the incidence but confessed, “That was the old Sunday”. Sunday had never before given his life to Jesus but surrendered all to him just immediately after the Sunday service. The Sunday knew that to be qualified and be bold to preach, there must first be genuine repentance and forsaking of sinful old habits.

Young people generally follow the multitude; they follow the reigning trends in the world.

DRESSING IDENTITY

"And thou shalt make them linen breeches to cover their unclothedness; from the loins even unto the thighs they shall reach" (Exodus 28:42)

Moses was mistaken for an Egyptian because he was having on an Egyptian garment. The way you dress suggests who you are. Dressing in a way that is likely to shock or offend people is called indecent dressing. All around our streets and schools, unclothedness has become the order of the day; people are losing sense of shame and good manners in dressing and adornments. It has become fashionable for many youths these days to dress nude and immodestly.

Why would a person in his or her right mind wear sagging trousers without any underwear? Topless, mini-skirts slacks are the modern dress codes. As a child of God, you are expected to dress modestly and glorify God in your appearance. The essence of dressing is to cover our unclothedness; hence any exposure of delicate parts of your body defeats the purpose. You should not put on wears that are made for the females as a male and vice versa. Glorify God in your appearance.
