ife is in phases. There is the childhood phase and the old age. All the phases of life are very important and significant. Each phase has its characteristics, responsibilities, privileges, biblical duties and difficulties. However, through the right application of God’s words for each phase, you can make a success of all the phases of life. I write unto you, fathers, because ye have known him that is from the beginning. I write unto you, young men, because ye have overcome the wicked one. I write unto you, little children, because ye have known the Father. I have written unto you, fathers, because ye have known him that is from the beginning. I have written unto you, young men, because ye are strong, and the word of God abideth in you, and ye have overcome the wicked one. 1 John 2:13-14. Youth, represents energy, vigour, strength, activity, adventure, freshness and many more. It is also believed that it is the mental and spiritual development and interest that determines who is a youth. You may be old in body but a youth at heart. Proverbs 20:29(KJV) The glory of young men is their strength: and the beauty of old men is the grey head. A person who keeps reading and takes interest in life is always young, but whosoever has lost interest in current issues of life is old, even if he is just twelve years old. Who then is in the days of his youth? The person who is actively walking with God and ready to accomplish much for God.
A youth should therefore remember His God and use his strength to serve God. Ecclesiastes 12:1 Remember now thy Creator in the days of thy youth, while the evil days come not, nor the years draw nigh, when thou shalt say, I have no pleasure in them. The days of youth is a stage where you are no more a baby and you have the ability to do certain basic things for yourself. It is a stage where you begin to discover who you are and what your mission is here on earth. It is the time for adventure, exploration and creativity. It is a season where you are searching for answers to personal questions and general questions of life. I will therefore like to congratulate you if you are a youth because God is very interested in young people. He has always used young men to carry out His major assignment on the earth, and He wants you to be one of those men that He will use in this day and age to make a change, this is your time, it is your season. Joel 2:28-29 ‘ And it shall come to pass afterward, that I will pour out my spirit upon all flesh; and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, your old men shall dream dreams, your young men shall see visions: And also upon the servants and upon the handmaids in those days will I pour out my spirit. Remember the glory of the youth is their strength.
