Challenges of a Christian Youth

Going down memory lane, I see myself in my 1st year again, battling with financial problems and frustrating roommates. A lot happened and more could have happened but God came to my rescue. All it took was prayer and fasting…

Our world is one that’s rapidly changing and thus, demands further positive changes from us which is called adjustments. This sometimes is the problem. However, when made, it either alleviates or aggravates the issue at hand.
            
There’s a lot happening around Christian students everywhere, from financial issues to pressures (sexual, cultism, etc),  time management, balancing family affairs etc. The list is endless, but the truth is, all of these have come to either make us or mar us, to break us or brace us, none of which can happen without our permission.

          
Amidst these issues, we mostly forget what privilege Christianity avails us. That we have a Father (God  Almighty) who has the answer to all things. It only takes going boldly to the throne of grace, to obtain mercy. He’s the puppet master and can always pull the strings in our favour.

It was only after fasting and praying then that the welfare team of my fellowship found and followed me through the issues and all became well again.

Prayer works! We don’t have to always leave things to fate, let’s GIVE them to God instead.

Can I really do this? Am I good enough? Will this project work out? Can I ever get this job/contract? How would I know the right man?  These and other undisclosed intimate questions have been fighting for a space in my mind lately breeding fear, worry and anxiety. I do understand and believe that I have a father who cares greatly for me. I Peter 5 vs 7 spells it out “ cast all our burdens on him because He cares ” but why do I still worry about life issues? Why do I get depressed when am not going at the pace I planned or getting the desired results? Why does it seem like a dead end sometimes?  It’s simply because I still wear my pride like a badge and cherish it. Pride and Anxiety come in a full package. What’s the correlation between the two words Anxiety and Pride, you may ask? Just look at the two words, what is the letter in the middle of both of them “I”. A symbol of self. The truth is that you are anxious because you bear burdens not meant for you. Phil 4 ...

Before You Date Someone

Image
‘Listen for God’s voice … he’s the one who will keep you on track.’ Proverbs 3:6 Before you date somebody, ask yourself: 1) Am I free to be who I am? Paul writes, ‘Let’s just go ahead and be what we were made to be’ (Romans 12:6 MSG). If you have to reinvent yourself to keep somebody happy, you’re in the wrong relationship. If they disapprove of you now, do you seriously think marriage will improve things? Not a chance!
