Youth week of Fasting and Prayers [Day 5]

Main Theme: Walking the Ancient Path to Find Rest for Our Soul Day 5: The Ancient Path of Prayer 📖 Scripture Reading: Psalm 5:3 “In the morning, Lord, you hear my voice; in the morning I lay my requests before you and wait expectantly.” Prayer is the lifeline on the ancient path. It is the intimate conversation with God that sustains, guides, and refreshes our souls. The psalmist models a daily habit—coming to God early, laying down our burdens, and waiting expectantly for His response. Walking this path means cultivating a prayerful heart—a posture of…

Youth Week of Fasting and Prayers [Day 4]

Main Theme: Walking the Ancient Path to Find Rest for Our Soul Day 4: The Ancient Path of Obedience 📖 Scripture Reading: John 14:15 “If you love me, keep my commands.” Walking the ancient path requires obedience —a willingness to do what God commands, not just hear or know it. Obedience is the fruit of love and trust; it is the practical expression of our relationship with God. Jesus made it clear: love for Him is demonstrated through obedience. This isn’t about legalism or burden but about living in harmony with the One who loves us perfectly. Obedien…

Main Theme: Walking the Ancient Path to Find Rest for Our Soul Day 3: The Ancient Path of Trust 📖 Scripture Reading: Proverbs 3:5-6 “Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways submit to him, and he will make your paths straight.” Walking the ancient path requires trust — wholehearted reliance on God, even when we don’t understand the journey ahead. Trust is more than hope or wishful thinking; it is confident dependence on God's faithfulness and goodness. Proverbs 3:5-6 reminds us to reject our ow…

Youth Week of Fasting and Prayers [Day 2]

Main Theme: Walking the Ancient Path to Find Rest for Our Soul Day 2: The Ancient Path of Truth 📖 Scripture Reading: Psalm 25:4-5 “Show me your ways, Lord, teach me your paths. Guide me in your truth and teach me, for you are God my Savior, and my hope is in you all day long.” On the ancient path, truth is our guiding light. It is not a mere set of facts, but the very nature of God revealed to us. Jesus declared Himself as “the way, the truth, and the life” (John 14:6). To walk this path is to walk in God’s truth—uncompromising, life-giving, and freein…

Youth Week of Fasting and Prayer [Day 1]

A Divine Invitation to Return 📖 Bible Verse: Jeremiah 6:16 “Thus saith the Lord, Stand ye in the ways, and see, and ask for the old paths, where is the good way, and walk therein, and ye shall find rest for your souls...” At the heart of God’s message in Jeremiah 6:16 is a tender but urgent invitation,  a call to return . Not to religion, not to rituals, but to the ancient path where He dwells . This path is ancient not because it is outdated, but because it is eternal . It is the path of truth, holiness, faith, and obedience . It’s the same path w…

The Singleness of Purpose.

Scripture Readings Psalm 27 Philippians 3:17-4:1 Luke 13:31-35 Today, we are focusing on a vital truth for our spiritual journey— " The Singleness of Purpose." Let me begin with a story. Imagine a marathon runner. The race is long, and along the way, there are distractions—cheering crowds, competitors trying to discourage him, fatigue setting in. But the runner has one goal:  to reach the finish line.  Nothing else matters. Likewise, as Christians, we are called to run the race of faith with unwavering focus. Yet, we face distractions—worldl…

FIVE THINGS EVERY NEW YPG EXECUTIVE MUST DO!

One of the biggest mistakes you can make as an executive is to assume that you will be an executive forever. Technically from the YPG Constitution, you must be at least twenty years before you can be an executive because you must have renewed your membership for two consecutive years prior to the election. So let’s assume you are elected or appointed at age twenty, it means your first term will end when you are twenty-three and if you get the nod for a second term, it will also end at age twenty-six by which year you’ll be eligible for only one more ter…
