AWAKE ARISE NOW YOUTH ALIVE
YOUTH Christ Jesus MINISTERS in the Temple
When Jesus Christ was a youth (age 12) Bible records that He ministered, so youth of Christ Jesus there is no excuse for you to sit idle, no excuse for you to waste precious time online or with your digital appliances and not share the Gospel of Jesus Christ with others, go preach the Gospel, to the young and old where ever people are found, we are to "Go. "Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost:Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you always, even unto the end of the world. Amen."
Matthew 28:19-20
ACCOUNT OF 12 YEAR OLD JESUS CHRIST PREACHING
41: Now his parents went to Jerusalem every year at the feast of the passover.
42: And when he was twelve years old, they went up to Jerusalem after the custom of the feast.
43: And when they had fulfilled the days, as they returned, the child Jesus tarried behind in Jerusalem; and Joseph and his mother knew not of it.
44: But they, supposing him to have been in the company, went a day's journey; and they sought him among their kinsfolk and acquaintance.
45: And when they found him not, they turned back again to Jerusalem, seeking him.
46: And it came to pass, that after three days they found him in the temple, sitting in the midst of the doctors, both hearing them, and asking them questions.
47: And all that heard him were astonished at his understanding and answers.
48: And when they saw him, they were amazed: and his mother said unto him, Son, why hast thou thus dealt with us? behold, thy father and I have sought thee sorrowing.
49: And he said unto them, How is it that ye sought me? wist ye not that I must be about my Father's business?
50: And they understood not the saying which he spake unto them.
51: And he went down with them, and came to Nazareth, and was subject unto them: but his mother kept all these sayings in her heart.
52: And Jesus increased in wisdom and stature, and in favor with God and man. Luke 2:42-52.
HIS FOLLOWERS
As followers of Jesus Christ, we ought to imitate Him in every area, we find out that from the above Word of God our Lord Jesus Christ when He was a youth like some of you (at age 12 ) was preaching the Gospel, doing the will of the Father God. We hear Him affirmed of this when Joseph and Mary (His earthly parents) lost track of Him and after searching allover the places, (they finally find Him in the Synagogue after three days journey), when they queried Him (And he said unto them, How is it that ye sought me? wist ye not that I must be about my Father's business? Luke 2:19 ). Youth, yes and you who is reading this word right now, what are you doing for God's Kingdom here on earth? Jesus Christ began at an early age to do His Father, our Father's business-thus telling the youth also to imitate Him (even though we know He began at thirty years old officially, the early ministry at twelve tells me that 1) His zeal was burning for the Father's house and work ( "Zeal of thine House has eaten Me up" Psalm 69:9, John 2:17 ) and 2) I believe it happened so that youths will also know and take their rightful places and do the Father's business, today as did also Samuel and the other youths in the Bible. It tells us all as saints of God and all followers of His (irrespective of age) to will have His zeal in us and have no excuse not to go tell about Him to others. Our friends, acquaintances, peers, the people around us and the entire world is our evangelism pulpit, Jesus Christ started evangelizing even when He was a youth- twelve years again.....(And when he was twelve years old, they went up to Jerusalem after the custom of the feast. ) I pray you shall be moved by the Spirit of the Father's word you are hearing now and that the Holy Spirit is pouring on you the anointing, (Joel 2:28, Acts 2:17) to go do our Father God's work. Those unsaved on your social media contacts etc are waiting for you. Sometimes even some elderly out there, grown ups are waiting for you to share Jesus Christ with them. Make use of the opportunity God has given you today, now in Jesus Christ's name.
Ask the Holy Spirit to help you in all you do, ( But ye shall receive power, after that the Holy Ghost is come upon you: and ye shall be witnesses unto me both in Jerusalem, and in all Judaea, and in Samaria, and unto the uttermost part of the earth.) Acts 1:8. Amen.
PRAYER:
Father God in heaven, I thank You for Your word, please forgive me for turning away from You and going my own way, forgive me and cleanse me from every youthful lusts and foolishness, the lusts of the eyes, the pride of life, Lord please deliver me from peer pressures, and effects of ancestral altars in my foundation, deliver me from generational evil forces that manipulates and hinders me from serving You in spirit and truth in Jesus Christ name, Amen.

Through one man all sinned and by ONE MAN, JESUS CHRIST ALL ARE SAVED BY GRACE
"But not as the offence, so also is the free gift. For if through the offence of one many be dead, much more the grace of God, and the gift by grace, which is by one man, Jesus Christ, hath abounded unto ma.:y.Romans 5:15
ALL HAVE SINNED.....
"For all have sinned and come short of the glory of God, " Romans 2:23,
WAGES OF SIN IS DEATH....BUT GOD"S GIFT TO MAN IS FREE
"For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.." Romans 6:23
CALL ON THE NAME OF THE LORD
("And it shall come to pass, that whosoever shall call on the name of the Lord shall be saved". Acts 2:21)
THE LOVE LETTER OF GOD TO THE WORLD:
"For God so loved the world,that He gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved."John 3:16-17)
NOW IS YOUR TIME TO BECOME A CHILD OF GOD (IF YOU'RE NOT)
GIVE YOUR LIFE TO JESUS CHRIST IN EXCHANGE FOR ETERNAL LIFE.
.Let's listen and hear what Jesus Christ says in this verse,:"And when he had called the people unto him with his disciples also, he said unto them, Whosoever will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow me. For whosoever will save his life shall lose it; but whosoever shall lose his life for my sake and the gospel's, the same shall save it. For what shall it profit a man, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul? Or what shall a man give in exchange for his soul? Whosoever therefore shall be ashamed of me and of my words in this adulterous and sinful generation; of him also shall the Son of man be ashamed, when he cometh in the glory of his Father with the holy." (Mark 8:34-38)
We BELIEVE WITH OUR HEART THAT JESUS CHRIST IS LORD (DIED & RESURRECTED ASCENDED TO GOD & COMING AGAIN) AND CONFESS HIM WITH OUR MOUTH
" That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.." Roman 10:9-10.
PRAY THE FOLLOWING SINNERS' PRAYER:
Heavenly Father, God I believe that You sent Jesus Christ to die for my sins and to reconcile me back to you, Father God, please forgive me of my sins, wash me in the blood of Jesus Christ, Jesus Christ come into my heart take my life, be my Lord and Savior and make me new, now I renounce Satan and the world please write my name in the Lamb's Book of Life I believe this is done, in Jesus Christ my Lord's name amen.
DECLARATION: I am a new creature, old things are pass away behold all things have become new to me, I am new, I am a child of God, I am born again in Christ Jesus, and the Holy Spirit and I belong to God Almighty by grace in Jesus Christ's name, amen.
NOW THAT YOU ARE BORN AGAIN
LIVE A HOLY LIFE STYLE:
Our God Almighty is holy and we His children are to be holy as He is ("But as he which hath called you is holy, so be ye holy in all manner of conversation; Because it is written, Be ye holy; for I am holy." 1 Pet 1:15-16 & Leviticus 19:2).
It is a prerequisite that we Christians we must live a holy lifestyle, to follow after peace and holiness so we can see the Lord God (in our daily lives here on earth), we must live holy, for without holiness, no one shall see the Lord,
"Follow peace with all men, and holiness, without which no man shall see the Lord" Hebrews 12:14.
We are to live a holy lifestyle, day by day keeping our hearts minds or thoughts, conversations, conducts and actions pure, sacrificing our bodies, crucifying our flesh with its evil desires, forsake, hate evil, to let go of our former lusts etc, and beloved by grace we can do this and walk pleasing God by obeying and doing what the word of God says. Hallelujah!
"I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service."
WE MUST RENEW OUR MINDS;
Our minds can be renewed by the word of God which we hear and walk therein for the new man is created by the likeness of God which is righteousness and holiness, amen, we have to allow the word to change and renew our minds, this keeps us holy and righteous and it happens when we hear the word and become doers of the word of God, or practicing what we hear from God's word, the Truth, in Jesus Christ's name, Amen. ("And be renewed in the spirit of your mind; And that ye put on the new man, which after God is created in righteousness and true holiness.".) Ephesians 4:23-24)
GOD THE WORD CAME TO EARTH IN THE FORM OF MAN, JESUS CHRIST HIS BEGOTTEN SON, WHO DIED, RESURRECTED, ASCENDED TO GOD & IS COMING AGAIN John 1, Matthew 24, 1 Thessalonians 4, Revelation 21.
Glory to You our God Almighty in Jesus Christ's name. Amen.
