PRIME LIFE AND TIME FOR GOD
Everyone is given the
privilege of experiencing the prime age of life with the exemption of those who
are cut off earlier in life. It is the time of boundless energy, high
performance of the brain
and lots of time to invest. The prime age of life need be attended to rightly.
If misused, the banquet of consequences lays ahead. The misspent youthful age
brings regret. God has spoken: Remember now thy Creator in the days of thy
youth, while the evil days come not, nor the years draw nigh, when thou shalt
say, I have no pleasure in them; Ecclesiastes 12:1. Use your prime age
to know God and be established in Him. Be grounded and settled in Christ. Let
the faith of Christ define your life in a resounding manner. Know God, love
God, serve God, worship God, enjoy God and be in the company of them that love
Jesus. Deploy the energy of youth to be strong in the Lord and in the power of
His might.
As a teenager, a woman
would have wasted the life of Joseph. But Joseph will not permit the invasion
of darkness. He used his prime age to know God and his destiny became greatly
blessed. We also cannot forget Daniel and his three friends who were youths
that stood out for God in a foreign land where they were in captivity. God
stood for them and gave them highly distinguishing life. Prime age to work with
God in a prime way is our recommendation. Samuel knew God from childhood and
carried the same to old age. This is the advantage of starting early. David’s
exploits for God gloriously started at his prime age. He became a man after
God's own heart and the second to reign as king in Israel.
What is prime time? Prime
time is a recurring decimal throughout lifetime. Prime age is limited but not
prime time. Prime time is the early hours of the day. Invest prime time to know
God to the highest level. David said: O God, thou art my God; early will I seek
thee: my soul thirsteth for thee, my flesh longeth for thee in a dry and
thirsty land, where no water is; Psalm 63:1. Jesus, rising a great while before day, went into a solitary place to pray.
Prime time is when you are very fresh and the energy for the day is intact.
Everyday use your prime time for a closer walk with God our Father in Jesus Christ.
Prime age and prime time all for God and God will be all for you.
From You to God: My God, save me from misuse of prime age and
prime time in Jesus name.
Application:
Invest God-given resources of age and time wisely.
Footnote:
Life is not forever here, let all mortals be wise.

YOUTHS AND THE POWER OF FACEBOOK & YOUTUBE
We have in our hands today powerful tools to reach
every creature for Christ. Currently, five billion, out of the eight billion
people in the world, are users of Facebook and YouTube. Both take over sixty
percent of the market share. Jesus said all power is given unto Him in heaven
and on earth. Cardinally, the powers of Facebook and YouTube belong to Jesus
Christ and must be used for Jesus Christ to fulfil His commission to take the
world for Him. Herein lies the pointer on the best use of Facebook, YouTube and
even other social media. O God the Holy Spirit, help us in Jesus name.
Information dissemination and interactions using texts, pictures and videos in
an unlimited form cannot be better served than this mighty tools and weapons in
our hands today. Facebook and YouTube are gospel beyond the wheels. For
the earth shall be filled with the knowledge of the glory of the Lord, as the
waters cover the sea. Habakkuk 2:14
The story of Facebook revealed tenacity against all
odds spanning three years of daunting struggles crystalizing into breakthrough
in 2006. Two decades later, Facebook turned out to be a global phenomenon in
social networking, commanding billions of daily active users. Facebook is an
avenue for people to connect, network, interact, and share information. We have
the gospel to share for total salvation of souls. With an active google
account, you have access to YouTube’s world of possibilities with videos. You
can watch videos on various topics, like, leave a comment and share; you can
also record and upload your own videos for others to watch, comment and share.
YouTube as a video social media connects billions. Herein is gospel opportunity
to reach every creature with permanent video content.
Facebook and YouTube should not be misused or abused
lest the user becomes abused and becomes pawn in the hand of darkness. Be
guided by the scripture precepts saying: Flee youthful lusts, flee fornication,
love not the world, the love of money is the root of all evil, crucify the
flesh lest it crucifies you. What more shall we say? Grow your spirituality.
Use social media to serve the Living God in capturing the world for Christ.
Your reward will go beyond your dreams. In the use of social media, focus on
deepening your spirituality. For to be carnally minded is death; but to be
spiritually minded is life and peace. Romans
8:6. All eyes or faces shall see Jesus in the clouds at His
coming.
From You to God: Lord God, Your faithfulness reacheth unto the clouds.
A faithful user of the cloud to reach billions, make me in Jesus name.
Application: Be a user of social media for God without abuse.
Footnote: Remember now thy
Creator in the days of thy youth.
