The Youth Mandate

The Youth mandate (Ecclesiastes 12:1)
Remember your creator in the days of your youth, before the days of trouble come and the years approach when you will say “I find no pleasure in them” [NIV]

The world says “Youth for Pleasure, middle age for business, old age for religion.” The Bible says “Youth, Middle age and old age all for your Creator”. But especially in our youth that we are most inclined (determined) to forget our creator, it’s especially in these years that we must work to remember our creator. Remember He made you, that’s He provides for you, that He cares for you, that He provides for you, and that He controls everything; and remember that He can save you too. That’s a lot to remember, but it’s much easier to start memorizing when we are young.
ENERGETIC YEARS: However, that’s not the only reason why God commands us to remember our Creator in our young years. Why wait until we are pegging out, until we are running down, until our gas is almost empty before serving our Creator? The God who made use deserves our most active and healthy years ; our bodies are string and muscular (well kind of) , our minds are sharp and clear, our senses are receptive, keen and sensitive our enthusiasm is bright and bushy, our wills are steely and determined, Remember Him in your Energetic Years.

SENSITIVE YEARS: why do far more of us become Christians in our Middle Ages or old ages? It because youth years are sensitive years. Without giving up our belief in “Total Depravity” we can say that it’s easier “to believe and repent when we are younger. It’s never easy; but it’s easier and it’s easier because as we get older our hearts is hardened thicker, our conscience is sear numbered, our sins root deeper, our deadness becomes deader. Let’s use our youth sensitivity and receptivity to remember our Creator before the Evil days of callous indifference set in.

TEACHABLE YEARS: We learn more in our youth than in any other period of our lives. That’s true in all subjects, but especially true in religious instruction. All Christians I’ve met who were converted to Christ late in life have expressed huge regrets about how little they know and how little they can now learn. I encourage them to value and use whatever time the Lord give them, but they often feel they have to twice as hard to learn half as well.

DANGEROUS YEARS: Young years are minefield years; hormones, peer pressure, alcohol, drugs, pornography, immorality, teenage sex, etc…. Few navigate these years without blowing up here and there. Dangers abound on every side – and on the inside. How many “first” temptations becomes “last” temptations…!!!! How much we need our Creator to keep us and carry us through this Battlefield.

You!

You!

That very spot where you stand right now,

that very place where you are sitting,

I mean that very place where you are lying at the moment

You are the only one who can stand,sit,lye there

Unless you move..

move out of that space 

and then someone else can occupy it

Yet,not everyone can occupy like you

No one can occupy just like you did

You say other people are doing it

I mean,something similar to what you believe you should be doing

But they cannot do it like you

They really cannot 

You are the only  you that exist

The world,God's earth needs to 

See you

Know you

Experience you

Taste and See that the Lord knew what He was doing when he made you

So rise,rise from where you are

Pick up from where you started

Shake off the rust on your steel

One step at a time

Do it today

And you'll be one day away from where you were yesterday

In 10 days,you'll be 10 days (steps) better-at the very least

You will be a 100 times more in no time

And then you would have risen

Risen beyond the status quo

Risen beyond the low level

Risen to a point where rising interests you(becomes your norm)

Yet no you without God

Its His earth,stay connected!!
