WHO... is the right person?

Everyone asks this question, at least once in life.

"How will I know who he/she is?" "Will we connect first time?" "Will I feel different?" "Will we have everything in common?" are questions that play over and over again in the minds of many young people.

There is only one solution to that, and this doesn't fail:

"However, when He, the Spirit of truth, has come,

He will guide you into all truth."

Jh 16:13

The Holy Spirit doesn't fail my friends. He is spot on. He nails it, big time.

If you have the Holy Spirit He will lead you to someone who is also spiritual. If someone who isn't of God intends to approach you in order to start a relationship with you, He will show you immediately.

And by the way, don't think that everyone in church is what they seem to be. Watch out!

Of course, if you're carnal chances are you'll attract meat, not spirit. Or do you think a spiritual person, filled with the Holy Spirit will risk his relationship with God because of you who is carnal? Quite hard to believe that.

Make sure that you first is filled with the Spirit of God. Then seek the qualities and attributes of the Holy Spirit in the other person. After making sure that you and the other person are on the same spiritual level, the next step would be checking the compatibility. It isn't enough to have the Holy Spirit and attend church. Future plans, career, even spiritual plans such us doing the work of God full time, must be analyzed. Even doing the Work of God as an assistant might be a deterrent in the relationship.

Don't hurry. Let Him guide you. That's why God has inspired the church to do the 21 Days Challenge. If the Spirit of God dwells in you, you have EVERYTHING.

Have You Heard of Heartonite?

Isn't it somehow intriguing the fact that Superman, being the strongest super hero, chickens out when he sees a green stone? Why? Isn't he supposed to be SUPERman?

I mean, the Hulk doesn't have that problem. Actually, the angrier he gets, the stronger he becomes. There is nothing that weakens his powers. Anyways, that is another story.

What I'm trying to achieve here is a very simple analogy. The Superman apparently can withstand anything or anyone, except that wicked green stone.

Doesn't the same thing happen to young people nowadays?

The only thing we have to do is replace the kryptonite for the HEART. Hence the HEARTONITE.

Young people are so strong (1 Jn 2.14), bold, sharp, ready for anything. But when they listen to the heart rather than to the reason they become weak. They go from a strong-willed person to a sitting duck. The enemy can do to them whatever he wants, just like Superman's enemies do to him once he is under the effect of the kryptonite.

The solution is very simple: STAY WAY FROM YOUR HEART!

Sounds confusing right? How can one stay way from his own heart? It makes no sense. Well, I'm referring to the feelings and emotions that your heart produces that make you weak. Every time you follow your heart instead of your mind you become vulnerable, just like the big hero.

Use your brain guys, not your heart, otherwise the heart would be located in your skull and your brain in your chest.

Beyond the Limit

Ask yourself, ‘If this were my last day, would I want to be where I am today? What would my legacy be? It’s easy to forget that we will die one day, especially when we’re so young. So there’s a tendency to just let life happen instead of really living and being the best that we can be.

How many young people limit themselves by settling for the average? They go to university without a goal, thinking that knowledge alone will get them where they should be. True success comes when it’s coupled with wisdom from God and action! And yes -his principal applies even if you’ve never made it through college.

King Solomon once said, "I have seen princes on foot and servants on horses"(Eccl 10:7) meaning, it doesn’t matter how high you are in society, how popular you may be or which family you were born into. You may have come from a very deprived background, but when you have a big vision and the determination to make it happen, you will succeed.

Stop limiting yourself; God has given everyone a talent so take your talent, stock up on determination, add a massive dose of action then seal your success by making a partnership with God.

"Take your talent, stock up on determination,

add a massive dose of courage - it’s time to excel."

King David was the richest man in his time but he left no material inheritance for his son Solomon. He left him something far more important - his example of faith in God. Solomon never asked for riches from God but asked for wisdom and knowledge and he in turn became even richer than David ever was.

Be different; don’t fall into the trap of having an average life. Aim to be the best at what you do - what you enjoy - and with God on your side, what do you have to lose?

It’s time to step beyond your limitations - it’s time to excel. Are you ready to set a new path?

"Do you see a man who excels in his work? He will stand before kings; He will not stand before unknown men." (Proverbs 22.29)
