“Use Your Youthful Strength For God.”
Saturday, May 10, 2025Key Verse
“And Ahab said, By whom? And he said, Thus saith the LORD, Even by the young men of the princes of the provinces. Then he said, Who shall order the battle? And he answered, Thou.” 1 Kings 20:14
Text — 1 Kings 20:11-20
Message
No nation can develop without the strength of its youth. Young people are the foundation of nations’ future. They are partners today, but they will be leaders tomorrow. Young people are full of energy and excitement, and they are always eager to exploit and adapt to their changing surroundings. Young people will eventually fill positions such as pastors,governors, evangelists, legislators, choir leaders, women leaders and so on.
As a Christian child, you have important roles to play in your nation and church today. You are to avoid sin and all forms of corruption and to promote righteousness in a world where evil is increasing. You are to assist Christian adults in serving in various areas of the church. Use your abilities, talents, and energies to support God’s work on earth. God is counting on you to put an end to unrighteousness in your community. The church is fighting a spiritual battle rather than a physical one. You must join the adults in evangelistic outreaches and prayers in order to bring the devil and his agents to their knees. As you rise for God’s battle, the Lord will bless you.
