Here at the Apostolic Deliverance Temple a special service has been designed and conducted for the purpose of the Young Adults to come forth as young leaders to worship and praise God in the beauty of holiness. The young adults hold a special place in my heart as they walk the path of righteousness and in the beauty of holiness. God has no respect of persons when he shows one their purpose.
Throughout the bible, God used many young people for a certain purpose. To name a few God used David to defeat the giant Goliath. How is God using you to defeat the GIANTS today?
Another example is the lad named Josiah who became king at the age of 8. At the age of 16 he began to seek the Lord and when he turned 20 years of age, he began to purify the tribe of Judah. God can and will use you for a special purpose to be a leader for him.Still another example of a young person being used is Timothy, 1 Timothy 4:12 - 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. (KJV) These are the words that Paul wrote to the young pastor Timothy to encourage him as he was led by God.
Ecclesiastes 12:1Remember now thy Creator in the days of thy youth, while the evil days come not, I love this quote by Albert Einstein “There are only two ways to live your life. One is as though nothing is a miracle. The other is as though everything is a miracle.” As you walk with God, your life will pattern after the latter words of the quote. Everything will be a miracle as you walk with God.
Who will answer his call when God asks the question, who will go for us? Here I am Lord send me I will go answered Isaiah. (Isaiah 6:8)Will your answer be the same as Isaiah?
Yours in Christ,
