Over the last several years we have been mainly evangalizing and or pioneering churches. But my heart is with working with youth. Youths of all ages. For the years that we youth pastored, one of the main questions that was asked was "Is there any thing I can do for God, at this age?" My answer to that question was and still is this. " Exodus 19:6 and you shall be to Me a kingdom of priests and a holy nation." The Bible was not written just for people of a certain age group. Just like John the baptist, we all have been called, even from our mothers womb, God has called us to do a service for Him. 1 peter 2:9 says "you are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood." To me this means, God could have chosen the generation before me, or the generation before them, or perhaps waited untill the next generation, but the Bible tells me that he chose this generation. We are the chosen generation. We have been called out to do a service, Just like a song I love to listen to " you been called out for a purpose, called out to be a servant, called out to lift his standards, called out to raise his banners, called out to be a wittness, called out to show forgiveness, called out from this world, child you been called out" Young people please listen to me when I say " you have been called to do a work for God." Do not let any one detour you from that work. Like I tell my own children, there are other children in your schools that we as adults can not reach. But you can. So let your light shine, and be a wittness for God, let God put the words in your mouth to share. You could be the difference in some ones life. Being a servant and doing your service for God could be the difference in a young persons life, who is about to commit suicide, or going through a devorice between their parents, or whatever they may be going through. Your service for God can mean winning a soul for Christ. In conclusion, You are of a royal priesthood, and your service is unto Him, you got to dedicate your whole life and heart to God, and remember God can and will use young people no matter how young you are. |
