GROOMING EMPOWERED YOUTH OUTREACH

The origin of Valentine is attributed to different myths and ;legends. We can not say which is true or false. Let’s see what this myth says; The Catholic Church recognizes at least three different saints named Valentine or Valentinus, all of whom were martyred. One legend contends that Valentine was a priest who served during the third century in Rome. When Emperor Claudius II decided that single men made better soldiers than those with wives and families, he outlawed marriage for young men. Valentine, realizing the injustice of the decree, defied Claudius and continued to perform marriages for young lovers in secret. When Valentine’s actions were discovered, Claudius ordered that he be put to death. There are other myths as well but I ain’t interested with the myth but with what happens during valentine celebration. From past experiences, we have discovered that Valentine gives an opportunity for us to express our love and ignite our love through different gifts and actions...

A   broom  might say, "I’m a brush with a long handle used for sweeping up floors! Yes, I’m a tool used by people to help keep things clean and tidy. I know why I’m here!" A   refrigerator  might say, "I’m an electrical appliance that keeps things cool. Food stored in me will tend to stay fresh and will not spoil so fast. I know why I’m here!" A telephone might say, “I’m an electronic device that aids communication. People use me to pass information no matter the distance. I know why I’m here!” Why am I here? Sometimes as I look around and observe the world I live in, life seems very meaningless. I see people dying. The average person only lives to be about 70 years old and even lesser in Nigeria. I see wars--people killing and being killed. I see sickness and sufferings. I see disasters (earthquakes, hurricanes, tornadoes, fires, floods, airplane and automobile crashes, etc.). I see people going through their daily routines: waking up, getting dresse...

THE WORDS THAT BROUGHT CHRISTMAS John: 1:1-4, 14: In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. The same was in the beginning with God. All things were made by him; and without him was not anything made that was made. In him was life; and the life was the light of men. V14: And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth. We are celebrating this season as a result of God’s Word being made flesh in the likeness of men. The word is Jesus. As seen in the verses above, all things were made from this spoken Word. Oh how powerful the Word must be. What can you learn from this? We are made in the likeness of God himself. We have the same genes and traits from God our Father. Whatever God words can become our words will also become. But we do not know how powerful our words have been created to be. I sat down one day and  realized...

If you really want to do something you will always find a way. But if you don't want to do it, you will find excuses. The easiest way to combat fear is by not using excuses. Instead, you need to look for positive approaches to accomplish your goal. If you want to start a business, attend a meeting at the Better Business Bureau. Read some national magazines like "Income Opportunities" or "Spare Time." Start reading the business section of your newspaper. Gather some ideas and do a little reading before actually jumping into a business. Surely  you can find some spare time to read. Also, begin associating yourself with people who are in their own business already. If you're afraid to go out and make new friends, attend local business-related seminars in your community. Start watching television shows that are related to business. You'll eventually find people to associate with who know others and you'll be the part of a new crowd - the...

TOPIC: Answering a Missionary Call MEMORISE: And they went forth, and preached everywhere, the Lord working with them, and confirming the word with signs following. Amen. - Mark 16:20 BIBLE IN A YEAR: 1 Kings 4-6 READ: Acts 13:1–5 1 Now there were in the church that was at Antioch certain prophets and teachers; as Barnabas, and Simeon that was called Niger, and Lucius of Cyrene, and Manaen, which had been brought up with Herod the tetrarch, and Saul.  2 As they ministered to the Lord, and fasted, the Holy Ghost said, Separate me Barnabas and Saul for the work whereunto I have called them. 3 And when they had fasted and prayed, and laid their hands on them, they sent them away.  4 So they, being sent forth by the Holy Ghost, departed unto Seleucia; and from thence they sailed to Cyprus.  5 And when they were at Salamis, they preached the word of God in the synagogues of the Jews: and they had also John to their minister. MESSAGE: Missions can b...

TOPIC: Faithfulness [Wednesday October 8, 2014] MEMORISE: His lord said unto him, Well done, good and faithful servant; thou hast been faithful over a few things, I will make thee ruler over many things: enter thou into the joy of thy lord. Matthew 25:23 READ: Matthew 25:22-30 22 He also that had received two talents came and said, Lord, thou deliveredst unto me two talents: behold, I have gained two other talents beside them. 23 His lord said unto him, Well done, good and faithful servant; thou hast been faithful over a few things, I will make thee ruler over many things: enter thou into the joy of thy lord. 24 Then he which had received the one talent came and said, Lord, I knew thee that thou art an hard man, reaping where thou hast not sown, and gathering where thou hast not strawed: 25 And I was afraid, and went and hid thy talent in the earth: lo, there thou hast that is thine. 26 His lord answered and said unto him, Thou wicked and slothful servant, thou knewe...
