The Challenges of the
Youth in these Last Days Text: Ecclesiastics 12:1 Purpose of the Message. Many Christians are letting their challenges divert their attention from God. Raise an URGENT CALL OF AWAKENING to Christian Youths, in spite of the several challenges we may be confronted with. Raise an URGENT CALL FOR FERVENT PRAYERS from our Parents (Deut 11:18-21, Lam 2:19). The Challenges of The Youth ACADEMIC AND WORK PRESSURES. Increase in Knowledge (Dan 12:4b). SEXUAL PRESSURES. The devil is out to steal the purity of young people through seducing spirits (Gen 34:1, 2 Sam 13,Num 22-24,Rev 2:14). Many are selling off their destinies for momentary pleasures and gain (Esau). Covetousness is destroying many(1 Tim 6:6) How Can I Overcome my Challenges? 1 CONSISTENT PRAYER & STUDY OF THE WORD. Never doubt Gods power (Heb 11:6). Faithfully seek God in prayers in all things no matter how little (James 5:16b). A man cannot be greater than His prayer life - Leonard Ravenhill. Live by the Word (Matt 4:4, Psa 119:9;11). How Can I Overcome my Challenges? 2 AVOID ALL AVENUES OF SIN & COMPROMISE SEEK WISDOM IN ALL THINGS (Pro 4:7, Pro 9:10, Pro 7:1-5, Pro 7:7) - In relating with people (Pro 7:26), what we see/hear (1 Cor 3:16-17) in how we socialize- (2 Tim 2:22, 2 Sam 13:2-3). - Wisdom gives us foresight.

LETS LEARN FROM OUR PARENTS EXPERIENCES & MISTAKES Most Christian Parents regret not serving God faithfully in their youthful days. (1 Cor 10:1,5-11, 2 Chron 33:2;7&10, 34:3) GODS GIFT IS THE BEST. Compromising may give temporary benefits, but only God gives lasting gifts. (James 1:5;17,Ps 37:25,Isa 40:30-31,Ps 103:5) God wants to help us. HE KNOWS YOUR CHALLENGES. He does not want you to carry them alone (Matt 11:28). In spite of Gods greatness, you are very precious to Him (Heb 2:6).
YOUR COMMITMENT IS ALL HE REQUIRES.
Is He asking too much from us? Conclusion. We have only ONE CHANCE to be a youth and the devil is a liar when he tells you, that you can be FOREVER YOUNG. A popular adage says "the proof of the pudding is in the eating". Knowing God and having an understanding of what He can do in our lives is not something anybody can do for you. You just have to make a decision to embark on this personal journey with God. (Lam 3:27, Eccl 11:9, Eccl 12:1, Isaiah 9:17&21)
