Youths' expectation and God's promise

Welcome to the youths section. As you can see, we are still in the initial stages of developing this web site. We hope that you will come back as we continue to update and expand it.

God expects people to obey His commandments. However, there is a special promise to young people. God commands us to ‘Honor our father and mother’. God also promises that children who honor their parents will live long on the earth, and it will be well with them.

"Children, obey your parents in the Lord, for this is right. Honour your father and mother--which is the first commandment with a promise--that it may go well with you and that you may enjoy long life on the earth." Ephesians 6 1-4. The attached promise to this commandment is "you may enjoy long life on the earth". There are other commandments in the Bible such as:

"Regard your father and mother, that your days may be long in the land the Lord your God gives you" (Exodus 20:12).

"Remember now your Creator in the days of your youth, before the difficult days come, And the years draw near when you say, "I have no pleasure in them" (Ecclesiastes 12:1).

“Hear, my son, your father's instruction, and do not forsake your mother's teaching; indeed, they are a graceful wreath to your head and ornaments about your neck” (Proverbs 1:8-9).

“Children, obey your parents in all things: for this is well pleasing unto the Lord” (Colossians 3:20).

"Come, you children, listen to me; I will teach you the fear of the LORD" (Psalm 34:11) .

“Pay attention to your father, and don't neglect your mother when she grows old” (Proverbs 23:22).

“Now therefore, listen to me, my children, for blessed are those who keep my ways. Hear instruction and be wise, and do not disdain it” (Proverbs 8:32-33).

"Even a child is known by his doings, whether his work be pure, and whether it be right." (Proverbs 20:11).

“My children, have nothing to do with false gods or idols" (1 John 5:21 ).

1. Before the examination

Beloved brother, blessed sister,
+ Organize the time that is left to you so that you achieve the following objectives:

a. Studying what has not been learned yet.

b. Reviewing the whole syllabus.

c. Mastering it through answering exam. questions, solving problems, and doing exercises.

+ Being organized makes you productive. You do not feel distracted and heavily burdened, but allot to every day its share of work and effort without collapsing under the load. A suitable and practical schedule is important to achieve this.

+ Preserve your spiritual calm through a living fellowship with the Lord through regular prayers as well as arrow-like prayers. Be certain that this is a saving of time for inner peace is your way to work that is well done.

Be careful to organize meal times and sleep, and make sure you have enough of both.

The Lord be with you.

2. During Examinations

Beloved brother, blessed sister,
+ Do not talk too much with your colleagues outside the examination halls. Rather feel the presence of God so that His peace may fill your heart.

+ Pray calmly before reading the examination paper and read every question more than once so that you know:

a. what is required of you in each and every question.

b. the questions you will choose to answer.

c. any attempt to cheat is unacceptable to God as well as being illegal. So beware of depending on it or of resorting to it so that God does not refuse to help you.

+ Review your answers and do not leave before the time is up so that you do not have any regrets later on.

+ At home, review your answers quickly and without wasting time or getting upset so that you do not detract from your efforts for the coming exam.

The Lord be with you.

3. After the examinations

Beloved brother, blessed sister,

+ Submit all your efforts and your answers to the Lord Jesus Christ who loves you and prepares what is good for you.

+ Beware of imagining that your thoughts, desires, or your ambitions are going to make you happy. Real happiness is in Christ, daily satisfaction is in Him, and our eternal and infinite portion is in him. As for the things of the earth no matter how high or great, they are nothing but dust, believe me. Have a calm and serene spirit in the Lord and may He provide for tomorrow: “Sufficient for the day is its own trouble.” (Mt. 6: 34).
May the Lord Jesus be with you... the only secret of your success.

The Lord be with you.
