Teenager! You Are Chosen and Set Apart


Have you ever felt like you don’t quite fit in, like there’s something different about you that you can’t explain? Maybe you’ve looked around at others, wondering why their lives seem to flow one way while yours feels like it’s meant for something more. That feeling isn’t just in your head—it’s real. 1 Peter 2:9 reminds us, “But you are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, God’s special possession, that you may declare the praises of Him who called you out of darkness into His wonderful light.” You’re not ordinary. You’re chosen. Set apart by God for a purpose bigger than fitting in. Have you paused to think about what that means for your life right now?

Being chosen doesn’t mean life will always be easy. In fact, it often means you’ll face moments where you’ll have to stand alone, make hard decisions, and say “no” when everyone else is saying “yes.” But isn’t it comforting to know that your life isn’t random? That God handpicked you—not because you’re perfect, but because He sees something valuable in you? What if the very things that make you feel out of place are the signs that you were never meant to blend in? How would your choices change if you truly believed that your life carries the fingerprints of God’s purpose?

Think about your daily routine—your school, your friendships, your quiet moments when no one’s watching. Are you living like someone chosen, or are you just trying to fit into a world you were never designed to follow? It’s okay to reflect deeply on this. It’s okay to admit if you’ve been hiding the light inside you because it felt safer. But here’s the truth: the world doesn’t need another copy. It needs the authentic version of you, the one God designed with intention and purpose. So, what’s one way you can start living differently, not tomorrow, not next year—but today—as a chosen child of God?

Take a moment to write it down. Maybe it’s choosing friends who encourage your faith, saying “yes” to opportunities that scare you because they stretch your purpose, or simply spending more time in prayer, listening for God’s voice. Whatever it is, let it be a small step toward living as the masterpiece God created you to be. Remember, you are not just another teenager trying to figure life out—you are chosen, set apart, and deeply loved. Let that truth guide your next step.

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....
