Youth Warrior: Build Each Other Up


Youth Warrior: “Build Each Other Up”

1 Thessalonians 5:11 (NIV)

 Therefore encourage one another and build each other up, just as in fact you are doing."

Hey, youth warrior! Life can be a challenging journey. You are face with trials, uncertainties.  Sometimes you may be going through a storm. But in the midst of it all, God calls you to a powerful mission, to encourage and build each other up.

1 Thessalonians 5:11 reminds you that as followers of Christ, you are not meant to go through life alone. God created you for community, for relationships that inspire, support, and strengthen you. Think about it and let your encouragement and support contribute to the growth and strength of those around you.

Here are some practical ways to apply this verse in your life.

·      Keep your eyes open for moments when your friends, family, or classmates could use a kind word or a gesture of support. It could be a challenging test, a difficult family situation, or simply a tough day. 

·      Be a Positive Force: Choose positive words and actions. Your attitude can be infectious, influencing those around you. Instead of focusing on the negative, strive to see the good in situations and people.

·      Sometimes, the best way to encourage someone is by being a good listener. Take the time to understand their feelings and thoughts. Your genuine interest can make a significant impact.

·      Share God's Love: Your greatest source of encouragement comes from God's love. Share His love with others through your words and actions. Remind your friends that they are valued and cherished by a God who created them for a purpose.

Remember, as you encourage others, you are not only lifting them up but also contributing to the strength and unity of the community of believers. Build a tower of faith, love, and support that can withstand life's challenges.

Let's go out and be builders, youth warrior! Encourage one another and watch how God works through your acts of love.

  Endurance in Suffering: Finding God in Pain" Romans 5:3-4 (NIV) Not only so, but we also glory in our sufferings, because we know that suffering produces perseverance; and perseverance, character; and character, hope."   Romans 5:3-4 is a powerful passage that speaks to finding strength and growth through adversity. Paul encourages believers to find purpose in their suffering. Instead of being defeated by trials, we are called to persevere, knowing that endurance develops character and leads to hope. Reflecting on this passage, finding God in pain can mean recognizing His presence during our trials. Pain is a worldwide experience, something we all face at different points in our lives.

  " God’s Timing:” The Divine Mercy in Loss Isaiah 57:1 (NIV) "The righteous perish, and no one takes it to heart; the devout are taken away, and no one understands that the righteous are taken away to be spared from evil." In Isaiah 51:1 Isaiah declares the fate of the righteous, they perish, and it goes unnoticed or misunderstood by people. We often mourn the loss of the righteous without realizing that their departure might be a merciful act from God. He spares them from future evils and suffering that they might otherwise endure. In life’s journey there are times when the events around us seem to challenge our understanding. One such perplexing event is the untimely passing of those who live righteously.

Prayer In Times Of Deep Distress

  Prayer In Times Of Deep Distress 1 Samuel 1:10 (NLT) “Hannah was in deep anguish, crying bitterly as she prayed to the Lord.” 1 Samuel 1:10 shows us the deep emotional pain that Hannah was experiencing. She was deeply distressed because she longed for a child and felt the pain of barrenness. Her pain was not just a passing moment but a persistent anguish that weighed on her heart. In her desperation, she turned to God in prayer, pouring out her grief and sorrow. The Lord heard and gave her the desire of her heart. Hannah is an example of someone who is unashamed to pour out their soul to the Lord, because they know that he listens, hears, cares, and relieves even the deepest of pains. When we face moments of deep distress, like Hannah, we are invited to come before God with our hearts wide open, knowing that He sees, hears, and cares. Jesus in Matthew 11:28 tell us to   “Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest.”  This t...
