Bible Reading: 1 John 2:15-17
“Love not the world, neither the things that are in the world. If any man love the world, the love of the Father is not in him” (1 John 2:15).
The hand of the clock has been used to describe three categories of believers. Twelve-o’clock-Christians are so heavenly conscious but of no earthly use. Half-past-six-o’clock-Christians are buried in the world and have lost the vision of heaven. The six-o’clock-believers are Christians who are of significance on earth and are heavenly minded.
The significance of salt as flavour is not felt when it is isolated from other ingredients. It is not eaten as food all on its own. The worth of salt is acknowledged when it is used as flavour. So are believers. We are the salt of the earth. While we insulate ourselves from the pollutions of the world and live with the consciousness of heaven, we should equally exact positive influence in the world.
Christian youths can influence their world in various clubs in school- like: Press Club, Junior Engineers, Technicians and Scientists, Young Farmers Club, Red Cross Society - to shine the gospel light. Qualified youths should exercise their franchise during elections as responsible citizens. We should not contaminate ourselves with the evils of the society, instead impact it positively.
