THE DANGER OF LITTLE COMPROMISE AS TEENAGERS

It’s easy to think that small compromises don’t really matter. A little lie here, a careless word there—what harm could it do? But the truth is, these “small” sins open the door to bigger struggles. When you justify sinful habits, you slowly allow them to take root in your heart. Over time, what seemed harmless can control your thoughts, actions, and choices. Song of Solomon 2:15 warns us about "the little foxes that ruin the vineyards," reminding us that it’s often the small, unchecked things that cause the most damage. Are there areas in your life where you’ve been making small compromises?

Think about the decisions you make daily—how you speak, the things you watch, the people you surround yourself with. It’s tempting to bend your values to fit in or to avoid standing out, but every compromise shapes who you are becoming. A “small” lie can lead to dishonesty becoming a habit. Using bad language can dull your sensitivity to honoring God with your words. Before long, these compromises pull you further from the person God has called you to be. Are you allowing small decisions to weaken your commitment to Christ?

Take a moment to reflect on your life. Are there “little foxes” creeping into your heart—sins you’ve been ignoring or excusing? Ask the Holy Spirit to reveal areas where you need to be more alert and willing to change. No sin is too small to bring to God. He invites you to confess, receive His grace, and walk in freedom. What small habits do you need to surrender today? Will you trust God to help you live with integrity in every area of your life?

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....
