“And that from childhood you have known the Holy Scriptures, which are able to make you wise for salvation through faith which is in Christ Jesus.” 2 Tim 3:15
The quality of your future depends on the foundation on
which your life was built on. Whatever you are taught during childhood becomes the
foundation of your destiny. “Train up a child in the way he should go,
and when he is old he will not depart from it.” Pro 22:6
So when the
foundation is good or holy, the future is also promising. What you sow in your
life as a young man is what will echoes back to you in the future thus is very
important for you to be taught the following as a young man or woman so that
you future will shines brighter:
The Scriptures: The
scriptures are inspired by the Holy Ghost so when you live according to it, your
life becomes beautiful. The word of God contains the wisdom of God and has
power to guide, correct, and change your life and also lead you on the right
path. Wisdom come from the Holy Scriptures and not from school or textbooks. “Your
word is a lamp to my feet and a light to my path.” Pro 119:105 When you begin to walk in the light of His word, your life becomes glorious. Meditate on the hymn "When we walk with the Lord..."
Fear God: Yes the fear of the
Lord is the beginning of wisdom. To fear God is to hate evil; pride and
arrogance and every evil ways (Pro 8:13). As a young man or woman, fearing God
is beneficial for own lives because when we fear God he intends bless us just
the way a biological father will bless his obedient children. In the book of
Job, this pious man was described as an upright and blameless man, one who feared
God and turned away from evil. And because he fear God, he was greatly blessed
by God. He was considered as one of the richest man in the whole of the East
(Asia). “He possessed 7000 sheep, 3000 camels, 500 yoke of oxen, and 500
female donkeys, and very many servants so that this man was the greatest of all
the people of the east.” Job 1:3. When you learn to fear God, He blesses
the works of your hands; your business or career or whatever you do will be
established.
WHY
WE SHOULD FEAR GOD
The fear of the Lord adds length to life, but the years
of the wicked are cut short. Pro 10:27.
The fear of the Lord is a fountain of life, turning a man
from the snares of death. Pro 15:16
The fear of the Lord teaches a man wisdom and humility
comes before honor Pro 15:33
The fear of the Lord lead to life, and he who has it will
abide in satisfaction; he will not be visited with evil. Pro 19:23
The fear of the Lord prolongs days: but the years of the
wicked shall be shortened. Pro 10:27
By humility and the fear of the Lord are riches and honor
and life. Pro 22:4
Tithing: Tithing is a master
key for becoming rich. Though there are so many evidences in the word of God
yet some of us finds it hard to accept it. The late John D. Rockefeller became
a billionaire because at a very younger age her mother thought him tithing. So
when he grew up the attitude of giving tithe became part of him.
“Bring all the tithes into the storehouse, that there may
be meat in mine house, and prove me now herewith, saith the Lord of hosts, if
I will not open the windows of heaven, and pour you out a blessing, that there
shall not be room enough to receive.” Mal 3:10 In case you have
forgotten… tithing is setting aside a tenth of whatever you get to the Lord;
money, goods, gifts or anything that has value.
Prayer: as it is popularly known, prayer is the key and a weapon of warfare for the maintenance of daily victory by the believer. I was thought that God is a prayer answering God so whatever problem i have or whatsoever that i need can be provided through prayer. In Phil 4:6, God gave us the code through Paul..."Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God."
