The Cry Of The Youth - Part 1

All over the world, the youth are the most dynamic facet of every society, economy or government. However, the most dynamic force of the world is the most marginalized or the most unfortunate.

Why is this so? Why are the youth struggling more than ever? Is it because parents have not trained them enough? Is it because parents have not imparted vision and purpose in their lives. Is it because parents have not harnessed their potential? There could be a thousand or more reasons.

The Youth Have A Cry

The Youth have a cry, a cry that has fueled so many things we term as violence, so many things we term as useless. One thing am sure of, is that it is not just the governments problem, it is all our problem, this is because we are all parents, whether in a government position or not, we are all a part of a community who see these children grow, we see them go astray and we say nothing, we see them give up and get frustrated, we see them live for nothing and we tell them they are useless. We are either in the bracket of younger youth, adults or the elderly but we are all to play a part even the youth themselves.

Different Perspective

I choose to look at change in a different perspective.

1. The youth need a new voice, a voice of encouragement, a voice of hope, a voice of belief, a voice attaching value and importance to them. They need a voice telling them that they are not just the future but the present future and that they need to be prepared now more than ever for every opportunity that might present itself because when preparation meets opportunity success is a must. 
2. The Youth need to be told that they are the greatest resource a nation can have. They need to be told that their life is not a mistake, that a resource cannot be looked at as a burden but instead they are an opportunity in itself to the nation. An opportunity that will flow like a river of life.
3. The Youth need to be told that they need a mindset change, that they need to view themselves from the point of am created by God for a purpose, from a point of value, they need to view themselves from the point of hope, that they need to view themselves as the warriors who cannot be beaten down by temporary challenges of this life because indeed as it has always been said there is no permanent situation and that tough times don't last but tough, skilled, empowered, learned and humble people do.
4. The Youth need to be told they can make it and that nothing is too hard to achieve, they need to be reminded of great young men, who rallied with their vision and did not look back but made it to the end. They need to be told that nothing is impossible, just like Nelson Mandela said, "It always seems impossible until it is done".
5. The youth need a new found form of inspiration, Inspiration from God, Inspiration from those who will choose to love them and not castigate them but still discipline in love. They still need the love of a father, a mother, a brother, a sister, an aunt, an uncle, the neighbor, the police, the doctors, the care takers, the government officials, the taxi drivers, and every other person who comes a across their path.
6. The youth need the elders even though they aren't closely related to embrace them as their own. Someone might not be directly related but you can be a father, a role model, a destiny carrier. The embrace needed is an embrace of unending love, peace, joy. An embrace telling them we need you and can't do without you. An embrace telling them, "We are better off working on the same team and not competing", An embrace telling them, "I am here to teach you, you can have confidence and learn from me". An embrace telling them,"I will not manipulate you, I will not use you but love you". And an embrace telling them, "I will empower you to empower others".
7. The youth need to be Impacted, Empowered and Transformed, this could happen by instilling the culture of reading, teaching and most importantly those guiding them to live and lead by example.

The Youth need.....

You might just need a re-charge because your potential is just lying dormant.

Activating the power of God in your life (the 5 P's)

From A friends Sermon (Joshua Kakaire Kibedi) on 06/08/2014 at Church of the Reusrrection Bugolobi, Church of Uganda

"...my speech and my message were not in plausible words of wisdom, but in demonstration of the Spirit and of power, so that your faith might not rest in the wisdom of men but in the power of God." 1 Cor 2:4-5 (ESV) -- Our faith needs to be founded on the evidence of the power of God! WE each need an experience uniques to us that is able to spur us on!

1. Purpose: What is my place and position in God's grand plan. How do I see myself in God? Power has purpose -- (a) You will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes upon you.... and you will be my witnesses (Acts 1:8); (b) You shall remember the Lord your God for it is He who gives you power to make wealth...that he may confirm his covenant that he swore to your fathers, as it is this day. (Deut 8:18); and (c) Now to him who is able to do far more abundantly than all that we ask or think, according to the power at work within us,.... to him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations, forever and ever. Amen. (Eph 3:20).... we see in all this manifestation of power, that there is always purpose!

2. Perception: It is amazing that; our generation knows so much about God, but does not know God so much... "You are in error because you do not know the scriptures nor the power of God" (Matt 22:29) -- it is evident in our casual approach to the throne of grace and extremely familiar approach to God almighty!-- "For his invisible attributes, namely, his eternal power and divine nature, have been clearly perceived, ever since the creation of the world, in the things that have been made. So they are without excuse." (Rom 1:20) -- What is your perception of God?... Do you recognise His majesty and splendour? When was the last time you really bowed in reverence to God?

3. Priority: We have to inevitably remain in Jesus Christ as a matter of priority; without whom we can do nothing! "Seek ye FIRST.... the Kingdom of God and His righteousness.... (Matt 6:33)--- and indeed, unless our righteousness exceeds that of the pharisees; we will by no means see the Kingdom of God! God must take first place in all you pursue... His will needs no competition!

4. Purity: God is holy! Holiness is His highest attribute. Our love for Him should therefore drive us to be holy as He is holy! "Blessed are the pure in spirit, for they will see God" (Matt 5:8)-- this seeing God is not in the life to come... but experiencing the manifestation of His power in this life! "So flee youthful passions and pursue righteousness, faith, love, and peace, along with those who call on the Lord from a pure heart." (2 Tim 2:22)

5. Patience: Always remember that it is God who is in control. We all receive delegated control! We work neither on our terms nor in our own time -- it is all about God! "For ye have need of patience, that, after ye have done the will of God, ye might receive the promise." (Heb 10:36)

Therefore --"He that believeth in me, the works I do, shall he do also; and greater works that these shall he do; because I go to my father.... and whatsoever you shall ask in my name, that will I do, that the father may be glorified in the son. If you ask anything in my name; I will do it" (John 14:12-14) -- wrap it all in consistent, sincere prayer, motivated by love. Prayer is for lovers only (P-FLO) --- and always remember "Therefore I tell you, whatever you ask in prayer, believe that you have received it, and it will be yours." Mark 11:24 --- like Reinhard Bonkhe says "FAITH is the power switch!"

Note: Prayer, purity and patience is the pathway to power and revival.

Selah!

For Every Woman Living & Working To Make A Difference

#Women Making A Difference

"Every Naomi needs a Ruth to Cling to her and Every Ruth needs a Naomi to look up to" - Arthur Kmo

A woman is a woman made by God

Every woman knows she is from God and she lives to bring him glory.

She knows her Identity and #Can't compare herself to anyone

Without a woman, there is no child, women are the incubators for both the girl and boy child
Without a woman, there is no help
Without a woman, there are no generations

A woman is the exact representation of the working of the Holy Spirit

A woman is the exact representation of Modesty, Beauty, Class and Elegance

She Believes God, Walks in Faith and Operates in Power

Her Body is the Lord's Body

In every woman, there is Beauty

To My Fellow Men And Leaders Of This World "Prayer Makes Us"

From my heart to you all

I have strongly come to believe that what will what strongly unite men is this one thing called VISION and PURPOSE, when a man is visionary every other man can have some one else to look up too and hence himself help build other men.

To get such a man or men is not easy because such men are MADE, CRAFTED & MOLDED through PRAYER, they are men who seek out the presence of God and dwell there in, If you are to move a fellow man, this is how Hudson Taylor put it, "It is possible to move men, through God, by PRAYER ALONE".

This validates the statement that A MAN OUGHT TO PRAY and not lose heart. If a fellow man is praying and his fellow men are praying they become an un-stoppable force, George Giddle says Give me one man bought by PRAYER and not by A SWORD.

I am reminded especially about how praying connects and how God releases another man to go rescue the other by doing the instructions given by God. This is a classic story between Paul and Ananias, Paul had the experience of damascus and he was blind, he prayed and fasted 3 days and while he was praying, Ananias was also praying and God spoke to him and told him to go and pray for Paul and the scales fell off his eyes, Men who pray can be destiny carries, Men who pray can be deliverers of fellow men and nations, men who pray hear directly from God and do exactly as he said. To me nothing more can humble a man than prayer and fasting before God as he crucifies his dominant self that would want to do things in his own way, another humbling thing is when a fellow man who prays and heard from God brings forth a message of deliverance.

As men we shouldn't neglect one another, we should pray for one another, we should value what we can learn from one another and we should stand with one another, we should love and encourage one another and we should look at ourselves beyond the eyes of our weaknesses but strengthen our weaknesses and strengthen our strengths.

[I loved how we ended our fellowship as men the last time we met,] - from a fellowship experience. the prayers we ended with sealed and protected our purpose for one another and for the whole earth, MEN who pray and practice it will see evident results, Men who pray and dwell in his presence will grow in the right environment and be prepared for anything, they will never fear a thing because God has built a hedge around them just like for JOB.

Lastly Men can only be met and won in the place of prayer, never get into a physical battle with a man, the one who wins loses and the one who loses wins, we as men are on the same team and competition shouldn't be among-st us but we should win together and rejoice in each other's victories because it only makes us all better, My success is your success, my promotion is your promotion, my joy is your joy, my pain is your pain, my loss is your loss, Let the batter by won in prayer and let the victory both be ours and such a thing annoys the devil more than anything, Instead of us being scattered, VISION, PURPOSE and PRAYER will unite us.

There is no better VOICE to hear than the VOICE of God in TIMES WHERE there are so many other voices

Can you hear his voice, Each time you read his word. Can you hear his voice, Each time you share and speak with someone. Can you hear his voice, Each time you walk down the street and walk into the market. Can you hear his voice, Each time you try to give up and throw in the towel. Can you hear his voice, Each time you think it's over. 

Can you hear his voice

This is the Impact the voice of God can create 

If we can only be sensitive to his voice at any time, at all times, whenever wherever

God is always speaking

This is a caption from Scripture - Psalm 29

THE VOICE OF GOD

The voice of the Lord ----- echoes above the sea

The God of glory thunders

The Lord thunders over the mighty sea.

The voice of the Lord is powerful

The voice of the Lord is majestic.

The voice of the Lord splits the mighty cedars

The Lord shatters the cedars of Lebanon

He makes Lebanon's mountains skip like a calf

He makes Mount Hermon leap like a young wild ox

The voice of the Lord makes the barren wilderness quake

The Lord shakes the wilderness of kadesh

The voice of the Lord twist mighty oaks

and strips the forests bare

In his temple everyone shouts "Glory"

I can only conclude like this

10 The Lord rules over the floodwaters.    The Lord reigns as king forever.11 The Lord gives his people strength.    The Lord blesses them with peace.

     

The voice of the Lord splits the mighty cedars;    the Lord shatters the cedars of Lebanon.6 He makes Lebanon’s mountains skip like a calf;    he makes Mount Hermon[b] leap like a young wild ox.7 The voice of the Lord strikes    with bolts of lightning.8 The voice of the Lord makes the barren wilderness quake;    the Lord shakes the wilderness of Kadesh.9 The voice of the Lord twists mighty oaks[c]    and strips the forests bare.In his Temple everyone shouts, “Glory!”

Understanding, Knowledge & Wisdom

UNDERSTANDING, KNOWLEDGE AND WISDOM

These three things above could be the greatest weapons to financial freedom. 

There are many times in life when impatience gets the best of us, instead of learning and acquiring knowledge which we should apply, we are after the fish, the bananas and the money itself.

Money that comes to the hands that don't know how to manage will most definitely vanish in thin air.

The Chinese proverb says that instead of giving fish, teach someone how to fish.

knowledge acquisition to people seem so far fetched, but without knowledge and wisdom to apply it and understanding to know exactly how things work and why certain things should be done, we remain in the dark.

Seek as much knowledge as you canGain as much understanding as you canApply as much wisdom as you can

Don't rush for the Gold, rush for the knowledge to manage the gold, this will help you break free of any loop holes that make you run made.

The Bible in Proverbs 8 says

10 Choose my instruction rather than silver,

and knowledge rather than pure gold.

11 For wisdom is far more valuable than rubies.

Nothing you desire can compare with it.

This tells you that "it is not the money that is important, it is the instruction, knowledge and wisdom that will make you sustain everything you get."

Enjoy your journey of financial freedom from God's perspective
