MY OPEN LETTER TO YOUTH LEADERS IN CHURCHES, CAMPUS FELLOWSHIPS, AND SOCIAL MEDIA PLATFORMS

Image
I've been reading the two books of Timothy over and over and I feel like writing an open letter  to youth leaders in churches, campus fellowships, and social media platforms. “There is no such thing as a great man of God, only weak, pitiful, faithless men of a great and merciful God.”  ―  Paul Washer Dear Leader, I congratulate you for being counted worthy for God's service in this period of your life. You, probably, have heard me say that "leadership is mankind's most daunting task". Hey leader, you deserve special commendations for leading the most complex breed of humans on planet earth — the youths. Understanding the fact that you're leading your peers — a complex and insatiable breed of homo sapiens — puts you in a delicate position, and I appreciate you for making yourself available.    2.  Dear Leader, I have lots of issues in my heart which make me write this open letter to you. I hope to attend to most of them in this letter. Th...

Salvation: I wrote this from my heart

I feel like sharing some good news; I want to tell you something, I have a strong feeling someone needs this message and now is the right time. God's Plan; Peace and life. God loves you and his plan for you is to experience His peace and good life - John 3:16 Joh 3:16 For God so loved the world that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life.

When Jesus Christ died on the cross and rose from the grave, He paid the penalty for our sins 1Peter 2:4 1Pe 2:24 He himself bore our sins in his body on the tree, that we might die to sin and live to righteousness. By his wounds you have been healed. The only way...

Remember You're alone.

Growing up my mother told me a story. I learnt a lot of lessons from it and it guided me! There was a very popular and wealthy man in a town known for his wealth, benevolence and philanthropy. Unfortunately he died and the entire town was saddened and in a state of despair. On the day of the lay-in-state the entire town cried, wailed loudly exclaiming: "we will go with you". After a few hours of the wailing the electricity (power) went out and the same people who were crying and wailing began running away due to the darkness. The chief of the town who was also rushing out unfortunately had his funeral attire hooked to a nail on the main canopy erected over the dead body. The chief began to cry and beg the dead man that he was just joking about "going with him" and that it was just a statement of solidarity but not that of actual commitment. Moral of the story: Sometimes people would chant to be with you, stand by you etc but the day of the commitment or crucifi...
