Message

The hand of the clock has been used to describe three categories of believers. Twelve o’clock Christians are so heavenly conscious but of no earthly use. Half past six o’clock Christians are buried in the world and have lost the vision of heaven. The six o’clock believers are Christians who are of significance on earth and yet heavenly minded. The significance of salt as flavour is not felt when it is isolated from food items. It is not eaten as food all on its own. The worth of salt is acknowledged when it is used as flavour. So are believers. We are the salt of the earth. While we insulate ourselves from the pollutions of the world and live as pilgrims, we should equally exact positive influence on the world. 

Christian youths can influence their world in various clubs in schools; examples include: Press Club, Junior Engineers, Technologists and Scientists, Young Farmers Club, and Red Cross Society – to shine the gospel light. Qualified youths should exercise their franchise during elections as responsible citizens. We cannot isolate ourselves from the society – impact it positively.
