The relevance of the Christian Youth

THE RELEVANCE OF THE CHRISTIAN YOUTH IN THE 21ST CENTURY TEXT- 1 TIMOTHY 4:12-13 “Let no man despise thy youth; but be thou an example of the believers, in word, in conversation, in charity, in spirit, in faith, in purity. Till I come, give attendance to reading, to exhortation, to doctrine”. These were the words of Apostle Paul to timothy; the great apostle used this to warn every youth that no man is lawfully permitted to useless their lives or to take undue advantage of their living. Youths should know their God and serve the one true God in their youthful age.

THEME- POPULATING GOD’S KINGDOM TOPIC- FOLLOW UP TEXT- ACTS 15:36-41 INTRODUCTION The term follow up is scriptural and it is very important if we need a healthy, mature and established church. Follow up is likened to the mother-child relationship. A mother that gives birth to a child should stay close to the child and nuture him. Although we have follow-up department in the church, the work to follow up new believers is for every Christian. QUALITIES OF A GOOD FOLLOW UP CHRISTIAN WORKER POSSESS THE RIGHT PASSION- ACTS 15:36, ROM 15:24, PHIL 1:3-8, 1 THESS 3:5-10. Paul had a great concern for the welfare of the converts of their missionary journey. A soul winner needs to give more priority and attention to follow up converts until the babes in Christ are built up to be disciples. POSSESS THE RIGHT ATTITUDE AND APPROACH- 2 PETER 1:5-7, MATTHEW 5:14-16 The follow up worker must be natural and friendly. He must be very courteous. Keep to appointments. The follow up workers m...
