Just this evening i got an inspiration to publish a post here about "The need for God" is God actually a necessity or are we just existing as life wills, cause i feel a lot of people do not need God maybe because they have all they need, so they just live their live as they wish and truth be told i see a lot of these misconception among the youth, which is gradually taking a ton on the youth populace all over the globe, they live life as if it doesnt matter like everything is so free and common.
I have often time heard the scripture; Ecclesiates 12:1 about seeking God early in life Cause times will come when we no longer have pleasure in them, sadly this is the bitter truth, the youthful age signifies Strength, energy, vigor, life etc, so it feels like forever young like its just there forever, never getting old, which is the biggest lies ever to cross their minds, its often one of the disturbing thoughts that often crossed my mind whever i drive past the elderly old people, in a split of second i have to go back memory lane to imagine this guys in their prime strong, energetic filled with life and everything life could ever offer to them, but then time past and memory fades and reality dawn on them so here they are in present day reality even struggling to walk or do anything.
Then there are no more pleasure in them
I was careful enough to listen intenrionally when Bro Eli recalls his past at a very young age when he started this journey of serving the lord, i was wowed, at his level of steadfastness on God through all this years.
I remember when i started out developing a heart for the things of the lord, i was very young, first gave mylife to christ when i was in junior high, i would go another class to preach during break time, i was young and naive i just knew That God Was eveeything and that a lot of student didnt know him, i also joined a campus followship too,
Bro Eli vividly talked about the aspect of challenging the youth to grow a heart for the lord which is very wrong, its like what most pastors do, trying to coarsed their children to follow their footstep instead of creating an avenue a system that allows them to discover and know the lord personally for themselves which will open up their heart to burn passionately for God, rather than involve themselves in illicit activity like drinking, smoking or injecting of hard substances into their system.
I feel the parent, churches have a lot of role to play when it comes to creating this pathways for them to follow cause when there is no definite path for these youngsters they are bound to go astray.
