At
the end of this gist, you will come to believe that you are not just meant to
be youthful, but also to be useful. That, you are not created to destroy but to
build, that you are not just made to live but to make impact. Like Jesus said
through the Psalmist, King David, “we are fearfully and wonderfully made”.
To be fearfully made infers that we were created
for some special and specific use and assignment. You are created to execute a
mandate, and I believe by the special grace of God, you will be useful in God’s
hand and in this world.
Definitely,
as young people, we desire freedom to live stress free lives, to enjoy
everything and to have it all, but ironically, you cannot eat your cake and
still have it. It is very pathetic that young people have sold their usefulness
and values to the devil without the knowledge that whenever God plants good
seed, the devil on the other hand plan to thwart or destroy its process of
germination. The devil is now using some youths to fulfill his mission here on
earth.
Many
youth can sing, but they use it to lure people into sin. Some can dance, but
you can only find them in night clubs and hotels. Others can talk but they have
made up their mind to gossip and blaspheme or slander people. Many have the
ability to persuade people, but they use it to persuade others into doing
ungodly things. Some youths can compose very useful piece, but you only see
them write seducing letters and post fetish comment on their facebook walls.
Many
ladies are beautiful, but they use it as a weapon to seduce men. So many youths
out there are perishing, they are dying of ignorance. Someone once said; “Youth is only a journey, a phase we pass
through to fulfill our assignments here on earth” which
means that we will not remain young forever.
Solomon had all he wanted: wealth, women,
wisdom, gold and silver but he said that all was like “chasing a wind, vanity upon vanity”, then he gave an antidote to vanity when he admonished, “Remember now thy creator in the days of your
youth”. It
is only when we remember God in our youthful age that He can make us useful in
life. So all these things we are chasing: money, girls, land, fame and education are all
of no use without God – the “Unseen reality” and arbiter of our lives. You can
be a doctor and still not be useful. A lawyer, an engineer, a teacher,
professor, you name it! What matters most is that you depart from evil and live
an exemplary life, which pleases God. We are not truly living until we are of
value to our homes, communities and the world at large because it is our
positive influence that makes us useful in life. We must not only be drifting
or sifting, but wholly lifting and shifting, with shrift and thrift, from words
of war to war of words.
So, I earnestly advise that you should be
careful of earthly living, let your life not be wasted in errors and riotous
living (Read Luke 15:11-15). Wake up! Even if you have fallen many times, dust
up yourself and move on, God is always there to embrace and engrace you. Take
charge to discharge and deliver your destiny, the whole world is waiting for
your opinion.
How then can one be useful as a youth?
This
is the very question this book “Youthful
and Useful” is BORN to answer. It contains different clues that will
turn you into a self propelled success machine, ready to explore and ‘GLOW’
your world. I call it the youth restoration clues; you can call it, the best
magic keys to unlock your destiny.
