GROOMING EMPOWERED YOUTH OUTREACH

What kept on motivating them that we are missing today? I remembered what Jesus told his disciples before his death that they were going to suffer persecution, trials, and death for his name sake. I am too sure that none of Jesus’ words has ever fallen to the ground from the prophesy of the end time- rumors of wars, nations against nations, rise of false prophets, famines, etc (Matthew 24) to the prophesy of his death. I decided to know how his disciples’ lives ended by searching through websites and e-books. But one thing was common to all their death- they were murdered, accused unfairly and persecuted for preaching the gospel. However, I kept wondering within myself, why did these apostles agree to die for Jesus? Even after seeing how their master Jesus was killed and how their fellow apostles were being killed one after the other; they still maintained their faith and prefer dying for it. In comparison (this I did because we are all going to be judged on the same standard)...

Eccl 3:1-9: To everything there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven: Life has been carefully designed and arranged by God in the order of time . See Gen 1:14: And God said, Let there be lights in the firmament of the heaven to divide the day from the night; and let them be for signs, and for seasons, and for days, and years : To understanding time is knowledge. To work according to time is wisdom. When you understanding what time you are in, you will know how best to react to every ordeal Quote A man without the understanding of times is a man without direction. A man without the understanding of times is a man that owes humanity. A man without the understanding of times is a man who lives in his shadow (unrealistic) God created times, seasons, days, months and years. If you don’t understand times, you will not know when the winter is over. Imagine a farmer that does not understand times. He will definitely sow while others are harvesting. ...

Memorise:  My little children, let us not love in word, neither in tongue; but in deed and in truth. -1 John 3:18 Read: 1 John 3:16-18 (KJV) 16 Hereby perceive we the love of God, because he laid down his life for us: and we ought to lay down our lives for the brethren. 17 But whoso hath this world's good, and seeth his brother have need, and shutteth up his bowels of compassion from him, how dwelleth the love of God in him? 18 My little children, let us not love in word, neither in tongue; but in deed and in truth. Bible in one Year: 2 Kings 19-20, Luke 11:33-54 MESSAGE: The character of love is seen in practice and not through empty words. This is the reason why John the beloved advised that we should make the expression of love practical. One practical way of expressing love is through giving. The Bible in John 3:16 says that God loved the world, and this love compelled Him to give His only begotten Son, so that men could be saved. It was through the medium of giving that God as...

Life as we all say is a precious gift from God but I am adding to this that Life is a rented gift from God. Am I funny? I understand that the famous and generally agreed quotes/norms are always considered as right by most of us. But you need to be unique by taking a second and if possible, a third thought on issues. What do we call a gift? The Oxford dictionary calls it something that is given to another voluntarily without a charge/payment. Rent is payment for use of an equipment, property or service; we can also call it ‘lease’. With this misconception and misuse of language by calling life a gift, we have felt that our life belongs to us. So we wake up as if it is by our power, work as if it’s by might, we live as if we own ourselves. We all know that a gift is different from a rented item. When a Toyota Camry 2014 model is given to you as a gift, you are not expected to report to the giver on how you use the car because it is automatically yours. Meanwhile, when a ...

Outlined below are ten great mistakes any living being on this planet should watch against. If you have made them before, do not criticize yourself but seek advice. However, if you keep on repeating them, then you will definitely live to regret it. I have warned you. Note these mistakes and AVOID THEM! #First Mistake- Inferiority Complex Many philosophers are of the profound opinion that having an inferiority complex is one of the worst mistakes people make in life. An inferiority complex is nothing but begrudging your own life and demeaning your own abilities. It wrecks you system and throws you into a hell of disbelief in the profound potential inherent in your own life. The first person you need to believe on is yourself because you can never influence others when you don’t know your worth. People who have inferiority complex tend to follow other’s part and therefore will have no satisfaction at the end. This class of people follows other’s path and lives other people’s d...

GEY wish that you learn from her, a Woman of dignity, difference, love, kindness, selflessness and determination. She is the virtuous woman who stood for selfless love. God uses the most insignificant lives for His glory. He often selects some person from an unknown home and with His redeeming love builds a character that all the ages remember. Humble folk, who can listen to the heavenly Voice calling them to His service, become the great [servants] of God. David Livingstone, who [brought] the Gospel to Africa, was such a person. David went from a Scottish weaver's home to Africa, that he might blaze a Gospel trail across the Dark Continent. And when he was doing all those marvelous things, God was preparing another humble heart for mission work in Africa. Mary Slessor, a Scottish girl, patterned her life upon the career of the mighty David Livingstone. He was her hero. When the word came, "Livingstone is dead, and his heart is buried in Africa," Mary...
