 A Call to the Youth _ PART 6

In the history of Joseph, Daniel, and his fellows, we see how the golden chain of truth may bind the youth to the throne of God. They could not be tempted to turn aside from their course of integrity.
They valued the favor of God above the favor and praise of princes, and God loved them and spread His shield over them.

Because of their faithful integrity, because of their determination to honor God  above every human power, the Lord signally honored them before men. They were honored by the Lord God of hosts, whose power is over all the works of His hand in heaven above and the earth beneath.

These youth were not ashamed to display their true colors. Even in the court of the king, in their words, their habits, their practices, they confessed their faith in the Lord God of heaven. They refused
to bow to any earthly mandate that detracted from the honor of God. They had strength from heaven to confess their allegiance to God.

KUTUBU

Sehemu ya 1

Je, mwanadamu anawezaje kuwa mwenye haki mbele za Mungu? Mwenye dhambi anawezaje kufanywa kuwa mwenye haki? Ni kwa njia pekee ya Kristo sisi tunaweza kupatanishwa na Mungu na kuwekwa katika hali ya utakatifu; lakini, je, twawezaje kufika kwake Kristo? Wengi wangali wakijiuliza swali lile lile kama walivyojiuliza watu wengi siku ile ya Pentekoste walipochomwa mioyo yao kwa ajili ya dhambi zao, na kulia, “Tutendeje?”

Neno la kwanza la jibu la Petro lilikuwa ni hili “Tubuni.” Mahali pengine pia alisema hivi, “Tubuni basi, mrejee, ili dhambi zenu zifutwe.” Matendo 2:38; 3:19. Kutubu kunajumuisha huzuni kwa ajili ya dhambi, na kugeuka kwenda mbali nayo. Hatutaikataa dhambi mpaka hapo tutakapoona ubaya wake ulivyo hasa; yaani, hapatakuwa na badiliko la kweli katika maisha yetu mpaka hapo tutakapogeuka katika mioyo yetu na kwenda mbali nayo.

A Call to the Youth _ PART  5

“The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom.” Many of our youth do not feel the necessity of bringing their powers into vigorous exercise to do their best at all times and under all circumstances.
They do not have the fear of God before their eyes, and their thoughts are not pure and elevated.
All heaven is cognizant of every thought and every action. Your actions may be unseen by your associates, but they are all open to the inspection of angels. The angels are commissioned to minister
unto those who are striving to overcome every wrong habit, and stand clear from the devices of Satan.

The power of little acts of evil, of small inconsistencies to mold character, are not estimated as they should be. The grandest and most elevated principles are revealed to us in the Word of God. They
are given to us to strengthen every effort for good, to control and balance the mind, to lead us to aspire to reach a high standard.

The youth have been bought with an infinite price, even the blood of the Son of God. Consider the sacrifice of the Father in permitting His Son to make this sacrifice. Consider what Christ gave up when Building Character for Eternity He left the courts of heaven and the royal throne, to give His life a daily sacrifice for men he suffered reproach and abuse.

 He bore all the insult and mockery that wicked men could heap upon Him. And when His earthly ministry was accomplished, He suffered the death of the cross. Consider His sufferings on the cross,the nails driven into His hands and feet, the derision and abuse from those He came to save, the hiding of His Father’s face. But it was by all this that Christ made it possible for all who will to have the life that measures with the life of God

When Christ ascended to the Father, He did not leave His followers without help. The Holy Spirit, as His representative, and the heavenly angels, as ministering spirits, are sent forth to aid those
who against great odds are fighting the good fight of faith. Ever remember that Jesus is your helper. No one understands as well as He your peculiarities of character. He is watching over you, and
if you are willing to be guided by Him, He will throw around you influences for good that will enable you to accomplish all His will for you.

 Young men should have broad ideas, wise plans, that they may make the most of their opportunities, catch the inspiration and courage that animated the apostles. John says, “I have written unto
you, young men, because ye are strong, and the word of God abideth in you, and ye have overcome the wicked one,An elevated standard is presented before the youth, and God is inviting them to come into real service for Him.

True hearted young men who delight to be learners in the school of Christ, can do a great work for the Master, if they will only give heed to the command of the Captain as it sounds down along the lines to our time, “Quit you like men, be strong,You are to be men who will walk humbly with God, who will stand before Him in your God-given manhood, free from impurity, free from all contamination from the sensuality that is corrupting this age.

must be men who will despise all falsity and wickedness, who will dare to be true and brave, holding aloft the blood-stained banner of Prince Emmanuel. Your talents will increase as you use them for the Master, and they will be esteemed precious by Him who has bought them with an infinite price. Do not sit down and neglect to do anything, simply because you cannot do some great
thing, but do whatever your hands find to do, with thoroughness and energy.... .

your opportunities, your possibilities. God has given you an opportunity to fill a high destiny.
Your influence may tell for the truth of God; you may be a co-laborer  with God in the great work of human redemption O that young men might appreciate the high destiny to which they are called! Ponder well the paths of your feet.

 Begin your work with high and holy purpose, and be determined that through the power of the grace of God, you will not diverge from the path of rectitude. If you begin to go in a wrong direction, every step will be fraught with peril and disaster, and you will go on straying from the path of truth, safety, and success. You need your intellect strengthened, your moral energies quickened, by divine power.


The cause of God demands the highest powers of the being, and there is urgent need in many fields for young men of literary qualifications. There is need of men who can be trusted to labor in
extensive fields that are now white to the harvest. Young men of ordinary ability, who give themselves wholly to God, who are uncorrupted by vice and impurity, will be successful, and will be enabled to do a great work for God. Let young men heed the admonition, and be sober-minded.

God wants the youth to become men of earnest mind, to be prepared for action in His noble work, and fitted to bear responsibilities. God calls for young men with hearts uncorrupted, strong and brave,
and determined to fight manfully in the struggle before them, that they may glorify God, and bless humanity. If the youth would but make the Bible their study, would but calm their impetuous desires,
and listen to the voice of their Creator and Redeemer, they would not only be at peace with God, but would find themselves ennobled and elevated. It will be for your eternal interest, my young friend,
to give heed to the instructions in the word of God, for they are of inestimable importance to you.

I entreat you to be wise, and consider what will be the result of leading a wild life, uncontrolled by the Spirit of God. “Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that
shall he also reap. For he that soweth to his flesh shall of the flesh reap corruption.” For your soul’s sake, for Christ’s sake, who gave Himself to save you from ruin, pause on the threshold of your
life, and weigh well your responsibilities, your opportunities, your possibilities.
