TEENAGERS, RENEW YOUR MIND

Renewing your mind is one of the most powerful habits you can build as a teenager with purpose. Romans 12:2 tells us not to conform to the world but to be transformed by the renewing of our minds. This means learning to guard what you think about and allowing God's Word to shape how you see yourself and your future. The thoughts you entertain can either push you forward toward your purpose or pull you back into fear, doubt, or negativity.

Healthy mental and emotional habits involve choosing joy, practicing emotional self-control, and responding wisely to stress and social pressure. When you learn to pause, pray, and process before reacting, you protect both your peace and your purpose. Speaking life over yourself is also key. Instead of saying, "I can't," begin declaring, "I can do all things through Christ." Positive words feed positive thoughts, and positive thoughts shape a purposeful life.

You also need to guard what enters your mind. The music you listen to, the shows you watch, and the social media you follow all influence your thinking. Be intentional about filtering your media intake and filling your heart with things that align with God's truth. Ask yourself, “Are my thoughts helping me grow or holding me back?” When you renew your mind daily with God’s Word, you set yourself up to live with focus, confidence, and clarity in your purpose.

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....
