Abuse Of Social Media By The Youth. Abuse Of Phones And ICT By The Youth. How Can A Christian Youth Abuse The Use Of Social Media? Whatever God Has Given To Us, Must Be Handled For The Edification Of Our Brothers And Sisters To The Glory Of God.

OPENING PRAYER:

Father, please don’t let us be lured into eternal condemnation by the devil’s antics.

MEMORY VERSE:

“Let your moderation be known unto all men. The Lord is at hand.”  – Philippians 4:5

BIBLE TEXT: 1 Corinthians 8:9-12

9 – But take heed lest by any means this liberty of yours become a stumblingblock to them that are weak.

10 – For if any man see thee which hast knowledge sit at meat in the idol’s temple, shall not the conscience of him which is weak be emboldened to eat those things which are offered to idols;

11 – And through thy knowledge shall the weak brother perish, for whom Christ died?

12 – But when ye sin so against the brethren, and wound their weak conscience, ye sin against Christ.

‘When purpose is not known, abuse is inevitable. What is abuse? Abuse is the improper usage or treatment of a thing, often to unfairly or improperly gain benefit. Abuse can come in diverse ways like physical, emotional, mental etc.. But our concern is based on today’s topic: How can a Christian youth abuse the use of social media?

When mobile phones that are supposed to bring God’s blessing to the individual now becomes a source of distraction and addiction such that it has taken the place of God even during sermons, the majority of our youth go to social media for chatting, browsing etc.. Many of them have attracted God’s curses because of their disregard for God.

This is an abuse!

1 Corinthians 8:9-12

i. We should not allow our liberty in Christ to become a stumbling block to both the weak believers and the unbelievers.

ii. Whatever God has given to us, must be handled for the edification of our brothers and sisters to the glory of God.

A: MOSES ROD AS A CASE STUDY OF AN ABUSE:

We should examine this step by step:

Exodus 4:2-4 – The ordinary rod in the hand of Moses before, now became a miraculous rod because Moses was on a mission for God.

The rod swallowed all the magicians’ serpents in Pharaoh’s place. – Exodus 7:9-12

The rod parted the Red Sea. – Exodus 14:16

Exodus 17:5-6 – The rod was used to smite the rock for water.

Numbers 20:8-11 – God instructed Moses to use the rod and speak to the rock for water again.

Moses did not enter the promised land because he did not use the rod the manner he was told to. – Numbers 20:12

SUMMARY: Please be wise.

CONCLUSION: Youth, please beware! The same gadget you are playing with, can become a link that may lure you to hell. Quite a number of youth are regular visitors to pornographic sites and many have become addicted to it. Laptops are designed for positive things and not for internet frauds. Moderation or self-control is needed in the use of phones and ICT (internet). So you are enjoined to use them ONLY for GOD’S GLORY.

PRAYER POINTS:

1. Father, thank You for Your word of correction.

2. Father, please give our youth a listening ear always.

3. Father, please anoint Daddy G.O. and Mummy G.O. more than before.

4. Father, destroy every plan of the devil to recruit our youth through abuse of phones and ICT (internet).

5. My phone, internet and ICT hear the word of God. You will not send me to hell in Jesus’ name. Amen!

Thank You Jesus.

Jesus Loves You.

And next to them builded Zaccur the son of Imri. 3 But the fish gate did the sons of Hassenaah build, who also laid the beams thereof, and set up the doors thereof, the locks thereof, and the bars thereof. 4 And next unto them repaired Meremoth the son of Urijah, the son of Koz.

1 And it came to pass in the month Nisan, in the twentieth year of Artaxerxes the king, that wine was before him: and I took up the wine, and gave it unto the king. Now I had not been beforetime sad in his presence. 2 Wherefore the king said unto me, Why is thy countenance sad, seeing thou art not sick? this is nothing else but sorrow of heart. Then I was very sore afraid, 3 And said unto the king, Let the king live for ever: why should not my countenance be sad, when the city, the place of my fathers’ sepulchres, lieth waste, and the gates thereof are consumed with fire? 4 Then the king said unto me, For what dost thou make request?

1 The words of Nehemiah the son of Hachaliah. And it came to pass in the month Chisleu, in the twentieth year, as I was in Shushan the palace, 2 That Hanani, one of my brethren, came, he and certain men of Judah; and I asked them concerning the Jews that had escaped, which were left of the captivity, and concerning Jerusalem. 3 And they said unto me, The remnant that are left of the captivity there in the province are in great affliction and reproach: the wall of Jerusalem also is broken down, and the gates thereof are burned with fire. 4 And it came to pass, when I heard these words, that I sat down and wept, and mourned certain days, and fasted, and prayed before the God of heaven,

The joy of the Lord is my strength. Nehemiah 8:10

 

 

 

 

Supernatural joy

 

 

Happy is the people that know well the shout of praise, that lives, Lord, in the smile of thy protection! Psalm 89:15, Knox

 

The Holy Ghost is not just interested in the miracle, He’s interested in you receiving strength.

 

When the Word hits your spirit, there can be conception and you can give birth to your miracle. In Genesis 18, when the Lord told Abraham and Sarah that she would have a son, she first laughed in unbelief. At some point, however, she must have started laughing in faith. She must have said, “I’m not the performer; I’m just the believer.” Sarah and Abraham then named their miracle “ha, ha.” They named him “Isaac,” which means “

1 Then all Israel gathered themselves to David unto Hebron, saying, Behold, we are thy bone and thy flesh. 2 And moreover in time past, even when Saul was king, thou wast he that leddest out and broughtest in Israel: and the LORD thy God said unto thee, Thou shalt feed my people Israel, and thou shalt be ruler over my people Israel. 3 Therefore came all the elders of Israel to the king to Hebron; and David made a covenant with them in Hebron before the LORD; and they anointed David king over Israel, according to the word of the LORD by Samuel. 4 And David and all Israel went to Jerusalem, which is Jebus; where the Jebusites were, the inhabitants of the land. 5 And the inhabitants of Jebus said to David, Thou shalt…
