FACTS TO NOTE
1. YOU CAN'T BE GODLY UNTIL YOU KNOW YOU'RE A god. PS.82:6
2. YOU CAN'T BE GODLY UNTIL YOU UN-LEARN, RE-LEARN & BE AN ACTIVE LEARNER.
3. BEING GODLY IS A LIFETIME ASSIGNMENT.
You can't be youthful until you become useful and you can't be useful until you are full with the right knowledge. The first thing God seeks of any useable youth is to be rightly informed! This is why God placed you in a church as this;For you not to be deformed,you need to be informed.
Information births idea and idea rules the world.
Jesus was away building capacity for his Godly Assignment for 21 years.(Luke 2:42 & 4:1)
David used all his youthful age to prepare for Goliath.(1 Samuel 17:33-36).
Esther was prepared for her usefulness in the kingdom. No wonder she knows what to do in order to deal with Haman. Without preparation for usefulness you'll end in several pitfall states.
Daniel's friends were under 30 years when they challengedthe king's order , Daniel was around 80 years when he challenged the king's orders. How old are you n what have you challenged?
WHAT FACILITATE YOU TO BECOME A GODLY YOUTH....?
What make you godly youth is how informed you're.
TO BE A GODLY YOUTH
1. YOU MUST UNDERSTAND THE POWER OF INSTRUCTION.(((Proverbs 5:23 He shall die without instruction; and in the greatness of his folly he shall go astray.)))1 Samuel 15:22
Nothing saves you from distraction like instruction & nothing makes you to be come an instructor like first listening to instructions. And Jesus said ye are the salt of the earth so the only way to get it fully salty is by getting right instruction about your Person, spiritual life, social life and academic life.
Two Things Instruction Does to you
Empowers your hearing God Clearly
Empowers your Faith
2. YOU MUST UNDERSTAND PAIN: David passed through pain, Jesus passed through pain. The only way that leads to some gainful progress have some pain inside. It brings real you! Daniel 3:17&18 ; 2 Corinthians 4:17-18
3. BE DETERMINED TO BE SUCCESSFUL NOT JUST SUCCEED: To be successful Means your success isn't limited to you it's covenant based. without you it continues but to succeed means it stopswith you, you can't pass it on! Genesis 12:2 ; Isaiah 26:3 ; 1 Samuel 15:29
4. YOU MUST UNDERSTAND THE POWER OF WILLINGNESS TO SERVE. Nothing services your life like your readiness to serve. Even God can't help u if you can serve his people. Daniel 1: 8-9. Your willingness attracts God's favor, it introduces you to divinity! Isaiah 1:19-20.
5. ( LOVE)NOBODY LOVES YOU LIKE JESUS & NOBODY CAN CARE FOR YOU MORE THAN GOD: Without giving God your all, you can't have his best plan for your life. There's no way you can become a Godly youth without allowing Jesus to love you! Nobody can give you a future you desire or desirable like Jesus.
