In the early years of my Christian walk as a youth,
Fridays night were met for vigils in the Church
Youth convention was purely for prayers, fasting, Bible study, and edifying activities
As a single when you are going to visit an opposite sex you don't dare go alone
When your Pastor scolds you, you bow your head in tears for being a source concern to him
We don't purchase any clothe we can't wear to church
During youth programmes we engage in activities like draw your sword, Bible quizzes
Every Saturday was for Evangelism
We were mobile Bibles as we could quote tens of scriptures by heart
We don't dare leave our houses for church without a Bible
We arrive church hours before service to prepare the church
Virginity was dignity to us and not lack of opportunity
It wasn't difficult to identify us from unbelievers even as classroom students because you see God's glory on us
We were not ashamed to publicly declare our Christian faith
We go out for morning cry as early as 5:00AM daily
We always preached in every bus we took
There was this deep hunger in us to attend programmes in church
Even without an official ordination we were called Pastors and Evangelists
We usually go to pray for the sick in hospitals for healing
We dared to pray for the dead to come back to life
Having a daily devotional was important to us
We challenged ourselves to spend more time in the things of the kingdom
We looked forward to our yearly camp meeting for an encounter with God
During worship sessions we received accurate words of knowledge from the Lord
We were used as models to correct unbelievers
We were a source of Joy and honour to our parents and church
Our conscience were very active and alive to admit when our ways were not right with God...
Where are the youth of my generation! Can there still be revival again?
I hear the Lord say to me:
Revelation 2:5 Remember therefore from whence thou art fallen, and repent, and do the first works; or else I will come unto thee quickly, and will remove thy candlestick out of his place, except thou repent.
Kindly Resteem to as many as you can. Join us in our cry for revival馃槶馃槶馃槶!
