Youth camp 2009Welcome back all region three four's.
Give thanks to the Lord that we have all safely returned from this awesome getaway with Jesus. I'm sure that all y'all campers are beaming as the salt and light of Christ right now. Do not stop! Continue to allow our Heavenly Father to stir and download into your hearts callings, visions and even dreams. Write them down, tell somebody, have a prayer partner... go through whatever measures to see them made possible.
Also, I confidently proclaim that the Lord have bestowed upon great faith and a fresh new anointing upon those who, before camp, have been feeling weary and tired. Now, always be reminded that the Lord is your defendant when all the world and the devil are against you. Do not let this separation perceive any longer. Cry out the Name of Jesus and receive the impartation of innocence.
Moreover, some of us will have to make some adjustments right now to get our lives in order for the will of God. Perhaps it could be cutting down on our computer, television times or prioritising our academics so that we do not omit our Lord in our walk with Him. Let us look to God who is bigger than our problems to save us from our own will.
One very powerful thing that really struck me this camp is how powerful the Word of the Lord truly is. Being able to quote and preach the Word of the Lord at one's fingertips that is. I'm really charged to memorise more verses by heart and I really believe that when one speak forth the word of God to another. It is no longer he/she who speaks from the body but allowing God to use us to be a channel to speak on His behalf. Not of our wisdom but of His omniscient truths.
Always remember that we are truly justified in Christ. So buckle up right now, cause the Lord will direct your adventure in faith. Proclaim His callings upon your lives everyday and see. Seek closely to the Lord for counsel and offer your thanksgiving; Eph 2:8 "For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith-- and it is not from yourselves, it is the work of God-- not by works, so that no one can boast.
As the Apostle Paul says in his last few letters (2 Tim 1:8) , "So do not be ashamed to testify about our Lord, or be ashamed of me His prisoner. But join with me in suffering for the gospel, by the power of God" Let your life be one that learns how to sacrifice and is pleasing to the Lord. Let us be a region that reminds one another to stand strong in Christ so that the people around us will see that we are true worshippers.
Pray that the holy spirit convict our hearts and to deliever our minds from things unpure. Not forgetting to pray for your leaders so that we can lead with by truth and of holy example. Together we will see our church be not one of solely numbers but of one body who are not afraid to preach the good news boldly. Nevertheless, worshipping and awaiting for the one true living God.
Joshua
