Phaneero Youth Flood the
Kampala suburbs and city streets with the word:
The Kampala youth
under Phaneroo fellowship today have taken to the streets to preach the gospel,
in preparation of the 11th August, 2018 4th Anniversary celebrations
of the fellowship. I am not part of this fellowship but I love that young
people have embraced the gospel, at the traffic lights of Jinja Road this
morning, a beautiful young lady said something that I loved and I wish most
young people knew and I quote “the joy you are all looking for can only be found in
Christ, He alone is the giver of unending joy, peace and love” and I
thought of the many young people that are looking for love from many different
places, people and substance abuse. I was once in that place and its no place
for no one, we were all created with a void in our hearts that cannot be
filled by anything or anyone, not marriage, alcohol, a good job, money, sex or
anything else but
by only, Him, our Lord Jesus, He alone can satisfy.
One word I can leave with these Phaneero Youth on our streets today is
Romans 12:11-21
“Never let the fire in your heart go out. Keep it alive. Serve the Lord. When
you hope, be joyful. When you suffer, be patient. When you pray, be faithful. Share
with God's people who are in need. Welcome others into your homes. Bless those
who hurt you. Bless them, and do not call down curses on them. Be joyful with
those who are joyful. Be sad with those who are sad. Agree with each other.
Don't be proud. Be willing to be a friend of people who aren't considered
important. Don't think that you are better than others. Don't pay back evil
with evil. Be careful to do what everyone thinks is right. If possible, live in
peace with everyone. Do that as much as you can. My friends don't try to get
even. Leave room for God to show his anger. It is written, "I am the One
who judges people. I will pay them back,"(Deuteronomy 32:35) says the
Lord. Do just the opposite. Scripture says, "If your enemies are hungry,
give them food to eat. If they are thirsty, give them something to drink. By
doing those things, you will pile up burning coals on their heads."
(Proverbs 25:21, 22) Don't let evil overcome you. Overcome evil by doing good.”
And
to all of us, young people let’s not forget that restoration, healing, love,
confidence, identity, security, and joy all come through intimacy with the One who is intimately near
to us. Unless we experience the God who loves us, it is difficult
for us to even want to draw near to Him. However, when we believe and feel that
God enjoys us—even though we are immature and “in process” in our spiritual
journeys—then we will grow in confidence to pursue Jesus and enjoy the richness
of His presence.
For
those looking for this love, and do not know where to go, the answer is simple,
walk into a
bible based church, being a member of Watoto Church, I would recommend
it, walk into any Watoto church celebration point today and ask for a counselor to
help you receive our Lord Jesus and start a new journey today.
God is crazy about you and I am praying for you.
