Learn to Ask Questions

As teenagers, one of the most powerful habits you can develop is the art of asking questions—especially when you are in the company of elders, mentors, or those who have walked the path before you. Never allow shyness, fear, or the desire to appear smart rob you of the treasure hidden in another person’s wisdom. Asking questions is not a sign of weakness; it is a sign of strength, curiosity, and intentional growth. Even Jesus, at the age of twelve, sat among teachers in the temple, both listening and asking questions (Luke 2:46). That wasn’t just about knowledge; it was about preparing for His future.

Don’t just seek to know what is happening around you; seek to understand why things are the way they are and how they can be improved. Every “why” you ask deepens your understanding. Every “what” opens a new window of awareness. Every “how” gives you tools for practical living. This hunger to understand life’s principles early will become your advantage later. Teenagers who learn to ask meaningful questions become adults who know how to make wise decisions because they are grounded in insight, not assumptions.

Being around elders and mentors is an opportunity many take for granted. But those who value such moments will find themselves years ahead of their peers. Instead of being entertained by noise, be eager to learn from voices. Instead of assuming you know it all, humble yourself to know more. One wise question can open a door that ignorance would have left shut for years. So, open your mouth in wisdom, and let your ears be ready to receive answers—because the quality of your questions today will shape the quality of your life tomorrow.

Teenagers, Finding Purpose through Christ

Hey there, teens! School's out, the sun's shining, and summer's calling your name. But beyond the fun and freedom, there's a golden opportunity waiting for you: the chance to dive into self-discovery and uncover your unique purpose. You might wonder, "Why now?" Well, because you were created for a specific reason, as a solution to a specific problem, and through the knowledge of Christ, you can start to uncover that purpose. Why Self-Discovery Matters In a world that's always changing, knowing who you are and what you stand for gives you a solid foundation. Self-discovery helps you understand your strengths, passions, and values. It's about figuring out what makes you tick and what brings you joy. When you know yourself better, you can make choices that align with your true self, leading to a more fulfilling and purposeful life. Created for a Reason Ephesians 2:10 says, "For we are God's handiwork, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, whi...

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

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....
