Show up

-
Image
There comes a moment in every young person’s journey when life calls for one simple response: show up. Not with titles or applause or the perfect conditions, but with presence, courage, and the quiet conviction that purpose will always speak louder than fear. The life of David paints this truth in colours too bold to ignore. He was not the tallest or the oldest. He was not the one anyone expected. When the conversation about greatness was happening, he was not even invited into the room. Yet destiny always finds the person whose heart is ready, even when the world is not. David teaches us that showing up is not about being qualified. It is about being available. When the lion appeared, he stepped forward. When the bear attacked, he responded. When Goliath roared and an entire nation trembled, he walked into the valley. Even when his brothers questioned his motive and dismissed his courage, he still moved towards purpose. The message is simple: the opportunities that shape your life rar...

Dying by Instalment

-
Image
Young man, hear me. Nothing is beyond God. This message is written to remind you of the power of and in Jesus. It does not matter what you are going through or how dark your journey seems right now. God is still involved in your path. He has not withdrawn His hand from your life. He has not stopped watching over you. He has not abandoned your process of growth and restoration. But let us be sincere. You are not even sure of yourself anymore. You wake up each day and feel something slipping away. You feel yourself sinking instead of rising. Your strength is dropping. Your clarity is fading. Your confidence is thinning. Things are happening within you that you cannot even explain in words. You feel tired, drained, confused, and overwhelmed. And although your heart is screaming, your mouth cannot speak. You have prayed and prayed. You have cried and cried. You have trusted and waited. You have gone to doctors who could not find answers. You have climbed mountains to see prophets who cou...

Keep Moving

-
Image
Can a man ever move forward and not face resistance? Can you walk through life’s rough roads without feeling weary? Can you keep chasing destiny while the storms rage and not be tempted to pause? Let me tell you the truth young man. You will want to stop. Even the focused can lose direction. Even the faithful can faint. Scripture makes it plain that the race is long, and sometimes, the runner grows tired. It is part of the process. It is normal. There will be times when the path seems unclear. The dreams that once burned bright may begin to fade. You may look around and wonder if all your efforts matter. You may question if heaven still remembers your name. You may cry in silence, not because you do not believe, but because your strength feels spent. These things are not strange. They are signs that your soul is walking through the deep lanes of process. Daniel knew this feeling. Joseph understood it too. Daniel stood in Babylon, far from home, surrounded by pressure, temptation, and c...

Values Over Vanity: Building a Legacy That Lasts

-
Image
In a world where fleeting fame, material possessions, and social media recognition often take center stage, young people are constantly tempted to pursue vanity over true value. Vanity is like smoke. It may rise for a moment, it may look grand and impressive, but soon it disappears into nothingness, leaving behind emptiness and regret. Value, on the other hand, is like a firm foundation. It lasts, it impacts lives, and it continues to speak long after the person is gone. Many people spend their lives chasing shadows. They pursue wealth only for self-gratification, seek applause from people who will eventually forget them, and live only to satisfy their desires. Such a life may seem exciting at first, but like fire burning through straw, it is quickly consumed, leaving only ashes. As young people, the call is to rise above this shallow path and choose to live a life that builds others, fulfills purpose, and leaves a lasting legacy. Consider the life of David. He was not born into greatn...

Renewed Strength in Seasons of Weariness

-
Image
Can a young man ever be tired? Can the weight of life’s burdens sap the very strength within you? Can you continue on your path, facing mountains, hurdles, and giants, and not feel the pull of exhaustion? Let me tell you the truth: you will be tired. Even the young, whose glory is strength, will falter. Even the strong will stumble. Scripture tells us plainly: you will be weary, and you will faint. It is part of the journey. It is normal. The process of life, of pursuing your purpose, can drain every ounce of energy. Your feet may feel too heavy to lift. Your emotions may seem undefined. Your efforts may appear defeated, fruitless, even invisible. And yet, verily I say unto you, this is totally normal It only becomes abnormal when you throw in the towel, when you give up, when you have no source from which to draw strength. Those who wait on God shall renew their strength. True strength flows not from men, not from circumstances, not from fleeting comfort. It flows from the One who is ...

Sin, Self, and the Silence of a Generation

-
Image
Young man, hear this truth and keep it in your heart. David was the only one who could stand against Goliath because he was the only one not defiled. The entire army of God trembled before the giant, not because they lacked weapons, but because their hearts had already been weakened by fear and corruption. Even their leaders, who were meant to be examples, could not rise. They were silenced, not by the size of Goliath, but by the weight of compromise within. This is what sin does, it weakens, it corrupts, it silences. Today, Goliath still stands. He may not carry a sword and spear, but he comes in the form of sin, greed, corruption, pride, and the worship of money. Many young people entering ministry believe it is about fame and wealth. Many think it is about building a name for themselves rather than lifting up the name of Jesus. This deception has defiled many before they even face the battle. But hear me clearly: no one who is already defiled can withstand Goliath. Sin disarms you b...

The Seven Thousand in Obscurity: A Call to Authenticity

-
In an age where visibility is often mistaken for value and public platforms are equated with divine approval, there lies a sobering truth many are unwilling to confront: God does not measure significance by popularity Young man, learn this early. Your calling is not validated by fame, numbers, or trending influence. It is not the applause of men that confirms divine commissioning. National honors, social media followership, or being in the limelight do not define the authenticity of a calling. What validates your calling is God's approval, His nod in the secret place, His witness in the quiet corners of your obedience. Many are eager to be seen. They crave ministry in central places, cities, platforms, pulpits, and crowds. But when the calling demands a season of obscurity, a life hidden from human applause, many drop the mantle and walk away. Yet, God has always had a remnant in the shadows those who serve faithfully without name recognition or platform. When Elijah cried in despa...
