FACING THE WORLD.

As teens and youths, we are bound to face certain circumstances and experience life more than the grown-ups, most especially now that the world is evolving. Young or old, everyone has to take a risk and this same everyone should be ready to face the world just as Jesus did. In this current generation, who you are has been swallowed by what you are, simply because it is what you are to people that control where you be.
    In actual sense, a person will always stand out and be unique, only if or she is able to represent himself or herself. Materiality does not define who you are, following the crowd does not define who you are, your status does not define who you are, it only gives identity to what you are.
   To face the world, you need to know who you are, fight for who you are and represent who you are. Facing the world is not a battle, it is a stepping stone. Take for example, Jesus, who is celebrated this season, He is celebrated today because He was able to represent who He was while on earth. He came, He suffered, He taught, He faced the world, He died and stepped into everything we desire:
                -: Greater glory.
                -:Fame.
                -:Popularity.
                -:Beauty. et cetera.
  There are several ways we can face the world, just as Jesus came as a man and was able to face the world, so also GOD who has called or calls us "sons and daughters" helped Jesus, He will also help us if only we let Him.
                            THR33 WAY3 OF FACING THE WORLD.
  1) Spirituality: When the glory of GOD is upon your life, there is a brightness you are filled with. Spiritually, a man should grow because it helps build his faith. "Draw nearer to Me and I to you. GOD is the giver of all things, having a spiritual relationship with Him is like having an inseparable bond with the highest authority. Jeremiah 33:3 says it all and when you depend totally on GOD, then you will be able to overcome the world. The bible also says, "If GOD be for me, who can be against me" not even the world.
2) Physically: As a teen or youth, we are still young and energetic, so we should be ready to "take the heat" physically because to manifest spirituality, you require the physical strength.
3) Internally: It is good to be confident but not over-confident, I remember when I was going through the bible and a passage caught my eyes, "Over-confidence kills". In the right wisdom, we should pray to GOD to give us the appropriate confidence, flaws that we require to face the world and if you believe, all other things will fall in place. The rest is up to you, to face the world. John14:1&27.
        REMEMBER: "A man of integrity is a man of honour"
                             "A woman whose pride, she treasures with dignity is a woman of glory". Amen.
