Teenagers: Embracing Your Identity and Purpose in Christ

As you navigate through the whirlwind of adolescence, filled with uncertainties, dreams, and aspirations, it’s crucial to anchor yourself in something solid, something timeless. In this season of your life, I want to remind you of the incredible opportunity you have to discover your identity and purpose in Christ. You may be thinking, "Why now? I’m just a teenager." But let me assure you, there’s no better time than now to embark on this journey of self-discovery and purpose. The Bible is filled with wisdom and guidance that speaks directly to you, regardless of your age. In Jeremiah 29:11, God declares, "For I know the plans I have for you, declares the Lord, plans for welfare and not for evil, to give you a future and a hope." This verse reminds us that God has a purpose for each one of us, even from our youth. You are not too young to start uncovering that purpose and walking in it. Proverbs 3:5-6 urges us to trust in the Lord with all our hearts and lean not on ...

INVEST IN OUR TEENAGERS

Respect the teenagers and listen to their ideas. In doing this, you are building up their self esteem. Invest in the teenagers and you will be able to preserve your legacy. The safety of the future lies in the maturity and safety of the teenagers. Pay attention to the moods of the teenagers for their silence speaks a million words. Correct the teenagers but don't condemn. Rebuke teenagers but stop rejecting them. Never you amplify their mistakes above their safety. Always remember, we all make mistakes that is not intentional. In the same light, pay attention to the struggles behind a teenagers mistakes. Being an adult does not imply being domineering, and manipulative. Some times, give the teenagers a chance to explore their own ideas. Lying to a teenager will make the teenager to lie to you some day. They always do what they see you do. He is not just a teenager; there is a father, leader and husband trapped in the heart of that teenager. Lay good examples for Him. Don't just...

Stay Healthy In Friendship

Three things that will always poison your friendship or relationship with the people around you are the following: - Presumption. - Assumption. - Suspicious. The only way to defeat these deadly enemies is you asking question. Don't make any decision when you don't have a full detail and understanding. Don't fix your believe about any one base on what some one else told you about this person. Get close to people and have your own personal discovery of who this person. PEOPLE WHO GOSSIP TO YOU ABOUT ANY ONE WILL ALSO GOSSIP YOU TO ANOTHER PERSON.  Don't be a victim and ask the Holy Spirit to help you. Even if you discover a fault in your friends life....pray for them. Be patient with your friend the same way your parents or some one else is being patient with some of your misbehave. You are a teenager with purpose.  Allow the Word of God to set the pace for every of your choice and decision. HOPE EXPRESSION believes in you.

You Are Not Too Young

Always remember that Jesus loves you and be committed to studying your bible. You will only rise according the measure of the knowledge of God you have within you. Don't allow ignorance to trap you. Be more hungry to understudy Gods plan for your life. You are not too young to know Gods counsel for your life. Don't look down on what God has kept in your life. You are more than what you think of your self and you are more than what the social media are trying to define you to be. You are a billion more than this and learn to see your self through the eyes of God unfailing love for your life. Irrespective of your present trouble or struggles...be rest assured that God is with you and he will pull you out of any situation bothering you. Keep looking unto Jesus, the Author and Finisher of your Faith in Christ Jesus. This is your day!!!  Be encouraged!!! HOPE EXPRESSION believes in you. #Prince_Victor_Matthew

You Are Still A Teenager

As teenagers, don't be carried away by your access to information and technology. Always remember your age group. Ladies, the fact that brothers that are of the same age with your elder brother or even father are chasing you for relationship or sex...does not mean you forget that you are still a teenager. The fact that you sit in front of cars your elder sisters haven't sat in does not mean you forget you are still a teenagers. The fact that you have been taken to expensive guest inn of hotels or night clubs where a guy spent #20, 000 on you at once....does not mean...you forget that you are a teenager. Having a lot of sexual experiences does not mean you forget that you are still a teenager. Don't cross your boundaries in your reasoning and actions. Always remember that you are teenager and act according to your age group. You are still a teenager....don't rush out of this stage before you become a youth. Let the wisdom of Christ guild you. HOPE EXPRESSION believes in ...

Be Humble and Learn

Every teenager is blessed in a certain way with the ability to notice faults and mistakes in elder or people that leads them. Don't make the mistake to think...that the fault you have seen in this person has disqualified this person from being a blessing to your life. Every destiny helper has flaws. Every mentor has flaws. People that will help you to become who God has destined you to become have flaws. Let their flaws inspire you to train your self so you won't repeat their flaws or mistake....pray for the flaws of the people that guild and lead you.....yet be more sensitive to learn from this person as you check mate all you learn from them with the lifestyle and teaching of Jesus. Don't let the flaws you see, stop you from learning from the people God has set over you. HOPE EXPRESSION believes in you

Embrace Greeting Attitude

I need you to understand that worship involves your greeting attitude to the people around you; either young or old. Don't let your beauty and being handsome to put pride into your heart. Whatsoever you have become, you are not the first. Many have attained what you have now. Your peak of success or whatsoever you are proud of now is the starting point of another person. So be humble. I encourage you guild your heart with God's words. As teenagers, a lot of things are fighting for your attention but allow the Word of God to lead you. I love you more, and I am proud of you. Be encouraged!  #HopeExpression #PrinceVictorMatthew #TeenagerWithPurpose

My Pain and Gods LOVE

We smile,  We laugh, We sing, We dance, We say it’s well yet, we die in pains. We call, but nobody answers We cry, but no one listens We fall due to our own ignorance Why are left to our own fate? Is any one really listening? Pretense has over taken us We smile but our hearts bleeds We laugh but confused Will you just stand and watch these young ones suffer? Will you allow their dreams to die? Some body needs your touch A touch that will heal their heart A touch that will steal away their fears A touch that will stir their hope back to life Don’t just sit and watch. Save a dream today We need you, we need your support We can’t do this all alone Look around us and see Someone is waiting for your touch

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

You are Amazing

Teenagers  I greet you all  I understand the pressure that attacks you daily. I understand how people that should protect you are the very ones that victimise you.  Don't you ever believe you don't have a choice. You do have a choice and Jesus is ever  ready to listen to your complains and change your situation. Don't let any pain or issue to silent your voice of prayer and thanksgiving. Never let any pressure to take you out of the studying of God's word.  I am not saying it is going to be easy but I am saying this is what you need if you must become a teenager with purpose.    Every  inventor started as a teenager. Every great minister in the body of Christ started as a teenager. Teenage is a training stage for your divine calling and vision in Christ. At this stage, you should have an idea of how God wants you to live your life. You should also be able to know or have a clue about what your future holds or entail....

Tips on Emotional Intelligence

Emotional intelligence is the ability to identify and manage your own emotions and the emotions of others. It's the ability of you being sensitive and considerate to your own self and also to other people.  Emotional Intelligence is you giving attention voice, tone, body language and facial expression of people.  It's in you listening and understanding the voice of silence. SILENCE HAS A VOICE; emotional intelligence can only hear it. Emotional Intelligence is in you understand the voice behind any attitude displayed. It's you understanding the difference between people's reaction and their real struggle.  It's in you knowing why people do things instead of you being blinded by what they have done. Emotional intelligence is in your understanding people's motive through what they do and say. It's in you paying attention to "how" people do things. Emotional intelligence is not a place of presumption or assumption.  ...

Unmask

Matthew 11:28 God’s plan and purpose for every teenager is for them to become training conscious. Teenage is the stage of life from discovering purpose and path of life. Teenage is a stage from training according to Gods intention. Teenage is a stage where a lot of things draw your attention. Teenage is a stage teenager conceives lots of question. Teenage is a stage where the foundation of destiny must be in place through Gods wisdom. Teenagers live with lots of expectations from parents and society so much that they wear mask. The mask is not the hiding places for teenagers but this is not the original plan of God. The urge of acceptance in the hearts of teenagers is so high that they just pretend to be accepted. The need of a sense of belonging is presently making teenagers to embrace the mask. The mask has influenced each teenager to dual identity but this is not part of Gods plan. What is the mask? The mask is any material, mindset or attitude we put on just to be...

Father's Mistake - Part 2

It’s time for teenagers to step out their judgment seat, and allow compassion to take its place in their heart. It’s time for teenagers to stop blaming and start praying for more clarity and details of what God wants them to do.  It’s time teenagers stop despising the fathers for their mistakes and start appreciating their effort and success. Apart from the mistakes of the fathers, they have achieved things too; their strength                                                                has helped us in some ways. We have learnt from them too.  You must be careful not to allow their mistakes to blind you from their sacrifices they have made for us.  This is not an excuse for the fathers to stay in their comfort zone. Fathers need to do what the Lord has set for them to do. Irrespective of their effo...

Father’s Mistake - Part 1

We live in a generation where the faults and mistakes around us are the discouraging factor to the teenagers. A lot of teenagers are suffering and some of them are angry and tired of the situation. A lot of teenagers have become so rude and stubborn about the situation (the father’s mistakes). Every out going generation is meant to create a room for the next generation to fit in (Gods plan). It is not the duty of any teenager to disrespect the fathers for their mistakes. This is very important because our God is a God of order and He expects His sons and daughter to operate in respect too. Its so painful bearing the burden of the mistakes of the fathers but it is very necessary for the teenagers too. The mistakes of the father’s are the greatest opportunity for the teenagers to grow, improve and become all God has planned for them. The only way forward for the teenagers is the father’s mistakes. The mistake of the fathers is not a sign of failure on their side but pro...

Jesus is the Truth - Part 2

The truth is all about a specific knowledge of God about any issue. The truth is specific, detailed and a lifestyle of God expressed. The truth cut off from man-kind made them to be confused about their identity. The absence of the truth became the beginning of man’s frustration. The absence of the truth became the beginning of man’s error. The absence of truth became the beginning of man’s behavior. The absence of truth became the beginning of corruption. This truth is the right knowledge for every thing man-kind need. The absence of the truth became the reign of ignorance in man-kind. After the fall of Adam and Eve, they became ignorant of God’s plan. After the fall of man-kind, they became ignorant and they lost the knowledge of their identity. After the fall in the Garden of Eden, they still had knowledge but a wrong type of knowledge. In the Garden of Eden – there was an exchange of truth. in the Garden of Eden, there was an exchange of knowledge. Adam and Eve lost the k...

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”. ...
