YOUTH WEEK 2026: CHAPLAIN CHARGES YOUTHS TO TRUST IN GODโS POWER AND PRESENCE
The 2026 Youth Week Celebration continued with an impactful and spirit-filled talk on the theme: โIF GOD BE FOR US, WHO CAN BE AGAINST USโ taken from Romans 8:31.
During the session, the Chaplain enlightened the youths on the assurance, victory, and confidence believers have when God is on their side. He emphasized that when God stands with a person, no opposition, challenge, or force can prevail against them.
He explained that when God is for us, He becomes our Defender, Protector, and Helper, continually working on our behalf and guiding us toward victory and success.
Speaking further, the Chaplain highlighted what it truly means for God to be for His people:
1. His Presence With Us
The presence of God goes before His children, leading them through every difficulty and making crooked paths straight.
2. God Turns Things Around
When God is with a person, situations begin to change for good, and impossible circumstances become testimonies.
3. Battles Are Won
The Chaplain reminded the youths that many battles are already won when God fights for His people, because victory belongs to the Lord.
4. Unexplainable Victory
God grants victories beyond human understanding โ victories that cannot be explained by human effort alone.
The youths were also reminded that no one can stop Godโs divine purpose in the life of a believer when God is on their side.
The Chaplain further outlined some signs that show God is with a person, which include:
โข Answered prayers
โข Strength during difficult times
โข Victory over sin
He also encouraged the youths on things they must do to continually enjoy Godโs presence and support:
โข Maintain a good relationship with God
โข Walk in obedience to Him
โข Live a prayerful life
Concluding the message, he charged the youths to remain steadfast in faith and never lose confidence in God, reminding them that:
โWhen you have God on your side, grace speaks louder than opposition.โ
The session was indeed a moment of spiritual awakening, encouragement, and renewed confidence in Godโs unfailing power.
