SouledOut Teenagers' Week 2020 - The BRAVE - Bold, Ready Army for Victorious Engagement

By Sis. Halimat Elizabeth Olunlade 

The theme for the SouledOut Teenagers’ Week is The B.R.A.V.E.  

To be bold. A ready army for victorious engagement. Every one of us has battles to fight. Whether they be internal or external, we all have to face hardships.

 

There are hardships in the form of addiction, depression, anxiety, stress, and temptation. Every day that we are alive we struggle to do, think, and say the right thing.

 

We also face financial hardship, health complications, and problems in our relationships. No matter who we are or where we are, life can always throw us a curveball. 

And if you and I are to prevail and be victorious in the face of these hardships, we must have courage. We must be brave.

The bible says in Joshua 1:9 says “Have not I commanded thee? Be strong and of good courage; be not afraid, neither be thou dismayed: for the Lord thy God is with thee whithersoever thou goest.” 

Our job as Christians is to have faith in him. To believe in ourselves and our God. All we must do is commit ourselves to and have faith in him. 

Then as we reaffirm our allegiance to him, he will build into us qualities that make us strong and noble--including bravery. The bravery to live victoriously. 

To be brave, we must overcome fear. Fear beckons us from every corner of our lives and seeks to steal our victories. But who will you obey? 

Will it be the fear that comes from the world or will it be the words of God? May we all achieve victory through bravery and over-come fear, in Jesus mighty Name. Amen.  

You will have a great turn-around this 2020.  

Remain blessed.  

Shalom.
