In the early years of my Christian walk as a youth,
1. Fridays night were ment for vigils in the Church
2. Youth convention was purely for prayers, fasting, Bible study, and edifying activities
3. As a single when you are going to visit an opposite sex you don't dare go alone
4. When your Pastor scolds you, you bow your head in tears for being a source of concern to him
5. We don't purchase any clothe we can't wear to church
6. During youth programmes we engage in activities like draw your sword, Bible quizzes
7. Every Saturday was for Evangelism
8. We were mobile Bibles as we could quote tens of scriptures by heart
9.We don't dare leave our houses for church without a Bible
10. We arrive church hours before service to prepare the church
11. Virginity was dignity to us and not lack of opportunity
12. It wasn't difficult to identify us from unbelievers even as classroom students because you see God's glory on us
13. We were not ashamed to publicly declare our Christian faith
14. We go out for morning cry as early as 5:00AM daily
15. We always preached in every bus we took
16. There was this deep hunger in us to attend programmes in church
17. Even without an official ordination we were called Pastors and Evangelists
18. We usually go to pray for the sick in hospitals for healing
19. We dared to pray for the dead to come back to life
20. Having a daily devotional was important to us
21. We challenged ourselves to spend more time in the things of the kingdom
22. We looked forward to our yearly camp meeting for an encounter with God
23. During worship sessions we received accurate words of knowledge from the Lord
24. We were used as models to correct unbelievers
25. We were a source of Joy and honour to our parents and church
26. Our conscience were very active and alive to admit when our ways were not right with God...
Do I have witnesses out there!!!
WHAT WENT WRONG AND WHERE DID WE MISS IT?
