Teenagers: Embracing Your Identity and Purpose in Christ

As you navigate through the whirlwind of adolescence, filled with uncertainties, dreams, and aspirations, it’s crucial to anchor yourself in something solid, something timeless. In this season of your life, I want to remind you of the incredible opportunity you have to discover your identity and purpose in Christ.

You may be thinking, "Why now? I’m just a teenager." But let me assure you, there’s no better time than now to embark on this journey of self-discovery and purpose. The Bible is filled with wisdom and guidance that speaks directly to you, regardless of your age.

In Jeremiah 29:11, God declares, "For I know the plans I have for you, declares the Lord, plans for welfare and not for evil, to give you a future and a hope." This verse reminds us that God has a purpose for each one of us, even from our youth. You are not too young to start uncovering that purpose and walking in it.

Proverbs 3:5-6 urges us to trust in the Lord with all our hearts and lean not on our own understanding. As teenagers, it’s easy to get caught up in the pressures and expectations of the world around us. But when we anchor ourselves in Christ, we find clarity and direction for our lives.

Think of David, who was just a shepherd boy when he was anointed as king of Israel. Despite his youth and inexperience, God had a plan for him, and he stepped into his divine purpose with courage and faith. Similarly, you have a divine purpose waiting to be discovered and embraced.

Discovering your purpose in Christ isn’t just about finding a career or achieving success by the world’s standards. It’s about living a life that glorifies God and impacts others for His kingdom. Whether it’s through your talents, passions, or everyday interactions, you have the power to make a difference right where you are.

So, how do you begin this journey of self-discovery and purpose in Christ? Start by spending time in prayer and reading God’s Word. Seek guidance from mentors and fellow believers who can help you discern God’s voice amidst the noise of the world.

Don’t be afraid to step out in faith and try new things. God may be calling you to areas you’ve never imagined, but He will equip you with everything you need to fulfill His purposes.

Remember, you are fearfully and wonderfully made (Psalm 139:14), and your life has immense value and significance in the eyes of God. Embrace this season of your life with confidence and courage, knowing that God has a plan for you beyond your wildest dreams.

As you journey forward, may you find joy in discovering your identity and purpose in Christ, and may you boldly step into the calling He has placed on your life.

With love and encouragement,

Prince Victor Matthew

Sex and Lust

*Sex & LUST* I need you to understand that LUST is different from SEX. Lust is a desire in the heart to gain a sexual experience with some one. Sex is a decision and action. Your problem is not sex but LUST. Lust is the major challenge of teenagers. If there is no LUST at work, sex won't step in. Lust always shows up in your mind or head as a suggestion. The moment you give it attention, it settles and becomes your master. There is nothing like unplanned sex...or temptation that showed up accidentally. Temptation or rape is an opportunity that met a prepared mind trained or nurtured by LUST. Guard your heart against LUST via Gods Word and it will become easy to deal with the issue of sex. Sex is a choice, a decision and an option or suggestion. It is not a helpless feeling. It's deliberate in nature consciously or unconsciously. The Holy Spirit is aware of your struggle. Come to him un-ashamed. HOPE EXPRESSION celebrates you. # PrinceVictorMatthew

Jesus is the Truth - Part 1

You are welcome to this Revelation.  “I AM THE TRUTH” is the very statement of Jesus Christ about himself. There is a wrong concept about Jesus; Jesus is not here to show you the truth – HE IS THE TRUTH. Jesus is not here to point you to any one – he is here to point you to Himself. In the Gospel of Jesus, don’t try to separate the truth from Jesus. There is no truth without Jesus. Any truth without Jesus is not the truth. You need to understand that we are living with the two concepts. There are two types of truth. We have “truth” - this truth is all about things that please the five senses but disagree with God. The “TRUTH” is divine in nature. Truth is natural in natural. Truth is generally accepted but the truth is accepted through the help of the Holy Spirit. The truth is all about the Father but the truth is all about self desire. The truth produces humility but truth brings pride. Every thing you can see and touch has two version “truth” and “the truth”. ...

Teenager, Who Are You Really?

Have you ever felt like you’re trying to be someone you’re not? Maybe you feel pressured to fit in, to look a certain way, or to meet expectations that don’t align with who you truly are. The world is loud, constantly telling you who you should be, how you should act, and what you should believe. But have you ever stopped to ask, Who does God say I am? 2 Corinthians 5:17 says, “If anyone is in Christ, the new creation has come: The old has gone, the new is here!” You are not defined by your past mistakes, your insecurities, or the labels people place on you. In Christ, you are made new. Your worth isn’t found in popularity, achievements, or how many people approve of you. Your worth is found in the One who created you. Psalm 139:14 reminds you, “I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made.” Think about that for a moment. You are not an accident. You are not a mistake. Every part of you—your personality, your gifts, your dreams—was intentionally designed by God....
