Greetings my good people of God
My name is Chukuemeka Francisca Ugochukwu
I want to contribute on today's Topic tagged "HOW SHOULD A CHRISTIAN DEAL WITH PEER GROUP PRESSURED?
Be it young as you are now is the very good time to start serving God or knowing the truth of God as it written in the book of ECCLESIASTES 12:1
Remember now thy creator in the days of thy youth, while the evil days come not, nor the years draw nigh, when thou shalt say, I have no pleasure in them;
The recommendation in the Bible says remember thy creator in thy youthful age.
In our youthful years of life we must remember our creator.
Before the evil days calm but also remember our creator.
Now you must be emphasising in your question, I guess you are apperatise and you want to follow your peer pressure.
May be they are brascada, may they are friends or we call it Philippians baracada.
May be you have brains as young as you are, you enjoy the life as it is known, the most common attitude of youth now, they are dating, they are partying,drinking sometimes sexual arousal, that is pressure you are, but still you endure those pressure when you are in the church.
But sometimes do we consider them as hypocrite? No!! I don't consider them as hypocrite because when you are growing, you're growing with your friends, that is baracada, we call it Philippians pampagada, I have many pampagada when I was in high institution because you can see I was the president of the school for two years, you can become the president of the campus, but I was the president when I was in 3rd year so I know some of my school mates, classmate, and I can say that am a leader of my classmates.i have so many baracada around, so many influence that always influence me but still at the age of 17th I had known God, I became interested in religion so the rest of my life was dedicated to knowing the truth about God,
Knowing the reasons of my existence, knowing the reasons of existence of all I have perceived, find the answers to so many questions in life, by knowing the truth of God in the Bible
I don't consider that you're hypocrite, if you go to church and give hand to your pressure, it is assigned that you are under pressure.
The main problems is the kind of church you attending
I have made in recommendation with me,
Sorry to say this Catholic Church are not reading Bible, even those that have grown to master in Catholic Church has come to the age because there are already 70 or 80 years in that church, have they not know the reality of Jesus Christ?
They don't even know the Bible, so many people have claimed that they are Christians but they don't know even know the Bible.
They believe that some parts of the Bible is their fame ,but faith is very important in the live of all creatures .
They are telling stories, they are not reading Bible. But during the time of apostles they were preaching Bible, they were were also preaching Jesus Christ.
ACTS 20:31 King James version
There for watch, and remember, that by the space of three years I ceased not to warn everyone night and day with tears.
Be in youthful as you are I started earlier than you, I started at the age of 17 and I thank God from the button of my ♥ heart, let's remember that friends make come in and go.
We need God in our daily life.
Thanks for reading
