"I have written to you, young men (young people), because you are strong, and the word of God abides in you, and you have overcome the wicked one" 1 John 2:14

In this bible verse, the Apostle John, by the Holy Spirit, was able to highlight 3 things that should contribute to our identity as young people (as healthy young people).

Number one, he highlighted the strength of young people. Definitely, a healthy young person is physically stronger than the elderly one. Nevertheless, since Apostle John, at the point of writing this, was in the realm of the Spirit which is above this material world of ours, his expressions were not limited to simply the things we know in our own realm here. Hence, when he was talking about being strong, he wasn't limiting himself to mere physical strength.

Rather, he draws attention to the fact that it is the destiny of every young person to have divine strength and stamina. One major expression of divine strength is the capacity to stay in the presence of God continually. Simply put, as a young person, you have the inherent potential and ability to have a pleasant relationship with God right from the days of your youth - notwithstanding the hindrances and distractions prevalent today.

How is this possible? The second statement gave us the key: "... because the word of God abides in you". You see, the Word of GOD is all you need to establish a right relationship with God your Maker, and it is what will sustain you in Him, even in this dark world.

And I'm pleased to announce to you that Jesus Christ is the Word of GOD. Jesus must dwell in you if you would maximize your potential as a "strong" youth. Hence, it is your destiny to embrace Jesus Christ as LORD and Saviour today. Simply open your heart and ask Jesus for mercy today.

Additionally, Jesus Christ has made Himself so accessible through the written word of God (the Bible). Hence, ensure you constantly saturate yourself with scriptures, and your spirit and soul will always be empowered.

Finally, this verse reveals that every young person has the potential to overcome the evil one. How? Through the Word of GOD! You are not meant to be a slave to the devil and anything else negative - sickness, poverty, failure, sin, hell, and so on. But this can only be possible when you have a righteous relationship with God in Christ Jesus, where you become empowered by the Holy Spirit.

Open up yourself to the LORD JESUS today. It's your destiny to have a righteous relationship with God that is eternal in nature through Jesus Christ. This is what empowers you to have dominion over creation. GOD bless you in Jesus Name. Amen.

Happy Sunday, everyone. Jesus loves you ❤

Thanks op. Also below is the most important Lesson why Jesus chased out the Demons into the Pigs:
https://www.nairaland.com/7680075/why-did-jesus-grant-pleading

3.) This is the most important. It was the very first time that Jesus went out to offer the Gift of Salvation and Eternal Life from our CREATOR to the Gentiles of this World, to show that His profound Love is not just to get the Jews saved but to get the Gentiles and the Whole World saved and Reconnected back to His FATHER The Only SOURCE of Life. Someone may ask how I know it was a Gentile City and not like Jerusalem, note that they supported getting wealth through rasing on unclean animal such as pig. What the Jews would never do because it is forbidden for them as chosen People of I AM THAT I AM.

JESUS delivered the 2 Heavily Possessed Citizens of that Gentile City and restored back their Humanity. They probably each have wife, children, fathers and mothers and family members that are dependent on them before the Demons take ownership of their Faculties. Jesus did an Examination for the City by checking if they would choose to celebrate the Restoration to Sane Life of these 2 Men that could now Invent things that might turn the City to a truly Prosperous globally Celebrated Center of Unprecedented Blessings to Humanity. But unfortunately, inhumane Wickedness has so much gotten hold of their Conscience that they Prefer to have their ill-gotten lazy Money from rearing shit-eating free-roaming dirty Pigs (about 2,000 Pigs) rather than being happy that their Brothers and fellow Citizens have become miraclously Healed by MESSIAH that could have gotten other Thousands or Millions of other Sick People in their Country permanently cured. Their Conscience was so stone-cold Dead that they immediately seek that JESUS should leave their City without delay. All they needed to have done is to change to rearing Cattles, Sheep, Poultry, etc, which requires more work but would give very Healthy Meat to feed their City and with JESUS' Blessing they would have become so Prosperous at it that they would even be Feeding the whole World with Clean Health-Promoting Foods. But alas!

They chase Jesus out of their City with a very Wicked that their Brothers being tormented day and night should have being left to suffer Life-long and die miserably. Only our CREATOR knows how many Thousands or Millions of them are wallowing in Terminal Ailments and Afflictions, yet they chase out the Deliverer just because of Pigs; which represents ill-gotten wealth.

Please, let's all think about this Deep Revelatory Teaching today. Are you chasing MESSIAH out of your Life because of that your girlfriend, boyfriend, goodluck charm, Opportunity or job that you got by sleeping with married men or fornicating, e.t.c. Truly accept JESUS as your Personal LORD and SAVIOUR today and Pray that HIS Ever Pure SPIRIT should take Permanent Ownership of your Heart and Eternal Control of your Thoughts. Completely Trust HIM with your Life. It may not be easy initially, but if you choose HIS Way of Purity, Fasting and Prayer to Consistently ask the CREATOR of Humanity for whatever you need, HE is Guarateed to Answer you and to also Reward you with Immortality/Eternal Life for not choosing the Easy way out offered by Satan in this current Temporary World.

Nice piece OP

Happy Sunday

I'm broke and depressed, can't live any longer.
Being born in Nigeria is my greatest undoing.
I cursed the day I am born into this world.

Why is life so difficult and so unfair for a common man. I can't even feed, don't have what to eat and always struggle to afford food.
It's better to die, at least all pains and poverty will be gone.
All friends and family that refuse to help me while alive will be able to do fake love.

There is no God.
If there's God, bad people will not be enjoying while morally upright persons will be suffering.

I am really suffering

Fairy tales

You will not see this post pass the second page because it is not about criticizing pastors and the body of Christ.

I guess this post does not apply to the rest of the world that are not christians.
You should have been more specific in your TOPIC DESCRIPTION.

Ok

Weldon op, two bottle of erujeje for you

This was and still is one of the scriptures that guided me through my teenage years, from a message preached by PASTOR Gbile Akanni.

My brother you cannot because of your present state and situations say there's no God, the air you breathe and the ability to even type all you did is a testament of the existence of God, you soloquizzing and throwing tantrums about your current state is and can never be the solution to the issues, I 'll advice you first of all accept that there's God repent of all your sins and ask for his mercy, then you take your problems to him in prayers and watch how he'll turn things around for you. peace.
