What about the youth

Youth is a good time to develop a relationship with God. As
it is written in Ecclesiastes do not let the excitement of being young cause
you to forget about your creator.

 Youth is known as the transition from the dependence of childhood to the independence of adulthood.
They are known as the strength, beauty, and dignity of a nation. Without them, the world would be a depressing place to stay because they are the light of the
world But
in as much as we can’t do without them, there are also some purposes for which
they are created. They have purposes imposed on them by families, societies,
communities and the world at large but, there are certain things that distract
a youth from fulfilling their purposes in the aspect of education, religion and
family.

Ignoring studies:
This happens when a youth joins a bad group of friends and neglects his/her
studies.

 Parents: We all know the role of parents in the lives of the
youths. But most time some parents neglect their duties and start misleading
the children someone may ask me why? Most parents don’t monitor the kind of
company their children keep. Some even compare them with other children of
their age instead of encouraging and praying for them not to be misled.

What they see and
think: youths tend to get distracted by what they see or what they think. When youth see that his mate is making money, driving cars, building houses, etc.
they get distracted from their true purpose and start thinking and making plans
on how to do the same. The action they say has a lot to do with the attitude we
portray towards our purposes. There are lots of things that can distract youths
from fulfilling their purposes but these tips will help them in order to
fulfill these purposes.

Self-discovery: you
can’t fulfill purpose if you don’t know who you are. there are things you do
that makes you different from your age mates/peers, try putting it into
practice and also pray to God to help you discover yourself.

Environment: in
order to fulfill your purpose, you must leave your comfort zone and focus on
what you want. Most youth today is been limited by their environment and they
are not doing anything about it.

  

 Feel the passion: have you ever felt the
desire to sing in church or partake in a drama? What would be your reaction
when denied the opportunity? you see yourself feeling bad, rejected and angry
because you wanted to partake by all means as you have that passion in you. Passion
is that strong feeling you have for a thing, it attracts people and also covers
the pain you are passing through while trying to fulfill your purpose.

 You must Have the
willpower to build your mind for challenges on this road to fulfillment. You must
be determined and strong, don’t let anything or anyone hold you back. Stop wasting
your future and start working towards achieving this purpose to make the world
a better place.
