Teenagers and Purpose Discovery in Walking with God Through the Process

Beloved of God, your teenage years are not a mistake in God’s timetable. They are a sacred training ground where destiny begins to take shape. Purpose is not something you stumble into by chance. It is something God guides you into step by step when your heart is willing to learn, grow, and listen. Don’t jump the process in your purpose discovery and preparation, because every season carries a lesson designed to shape the version of you that will handle the future God has planned. God is not just preparing a purpose for you. He is preparing you for that purpose. Scripture says, “For we are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works which God prepared beforehand that we should walk in them” Ephesians 2 verse 10.

Beloved, many teenagers feel pressure to rush through life, to achieve something fast, to be seen, to be celebrated, or to get ahead of others. But God’s kingdom culture is different. He builds slowly, deeply, and intentionally. Daivd was anointed as a teenager but was not crowned immediately because God wanted the shepherd boy to become a king in character before becoming a king in position. Joseph had dreams as a teenager but went through the pit and the prison before the palace. God does not waste experiences. Every stage carries wisdom that becomes part of your destiny foundation. When you try to skip preparation, you weaken your capacity. When you allow God to process you, you strengthen your future.

Your preparation may not look glamorous. Sometimes it feels like nobody sees you, values you, or understands you. But God sees every little step you take in obedience, discipline, study, prayer, and growth. Purpose requires capacity, and capacity is built over time. Don’t compare your process with your friends. Don’t envy someone’s speed. God knows exactly how to shape you for the assignment He placed on your life. Trust that His timing is perfect. “To everything there is a season, a time for every purpose under heaven” Ecclesiastes 3 verse 1. What you learn in your teenage years will become the wisdom that sustains you in adulthood.

Beloved of God, embrace learning. Embrace correction. Embrace quiet seasons. Embrace stretching seasons. Every moment is part of the divine syllabus for your purpose. When you allow God to take you through your process, He will unveil your gifts, build your character, and align your heart with His desires. Purpose is not achieved. Purpose is grown into. It is revealed as you walk with God, not as you rush ahead of Him. Never forget that the God who called you is the same God who will prepare you. Let patience work in you. Let discipline shape you. Let the Holy Spirit guide you into the path designed for you.

What are the areas in your life where you need to be more patient with God’s process in your purpose discovery?

How can you commit daily to grow into the person God wants you to become instead of rushing into your future?

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....
