Youths are young people who are literally not old.
Youths are also people with young minds.
The Bible has taught us to worship God in our youths. Worshipping God now as a youth involves dedicating our mind, thoughts and desires to the service of God.
"Youthfulness" has always been an anathema to the Christian body. Most young people see their youthful age as a medium to live life their own way and on the long run, do errant things.
Youths dress, talk, walk and do virtually everything just to get attraction of the next person probably an opposite sex. However, this feeling is a natural one even as the saying goes: "Singles mingles".
Bringing it down to the 21st century youths, it has also been the same issue.
The major problem we have with the 21st century (digital) youth now is that the rapid advancement in technology and social media galore has added to the current chaos amongst young Christians.
I know am sounding a bit stern but the 21st century youth has lost the consciousness of whom they are and whom God is.
I am not preaching but the bible stated that without Holiness, no eye shall see God.
We need to instill discipline to our young people.
We have to be sincere with them.
Lets stop clouding the truth from them.
Every youth has this innate desire to serve God and we can only bring them to this level of fulfilment by reaching out to them.
Though it looks like its impossible to take back God sense into these youths in which I am one of but I also believe that what time can not heal, God can.
The grace God released at the cross is still at work in us.
I choose to be YOUTHFUL and USEFUL.
Now, to all my young people out there, let's take a stand to make God proud. We shouldn't be moved by peer pressure we should be the pressure to our peers.
We've gat grace, WE ARE USEFUL IN GOD'S HANDS.
We are useful Youths.
