Youth Is for Christ — Not for Vibes

 “Just Vibes” Is a Setup

Have you ever stopped to ask yourself — What am I really doing with my youth? Am I just chasing vibes, or is there a deeper purpose? Is it really freedom if it leaves me feeling empty when the party ends? They tell us this is our time to "live a little" — to have fun, find ourselves, explore, and make mistakes while we can. But what if that’s the greatest deception of our generation?

The world has sold us a lie. It whispers that youth is the era for casual living — for dating without commitment, experimenting without consequence, and living without direction. But if we’re honest, how many people have gone too far in that so-called freedom and ended up wounded, confused, and far from the path they were meant to walk? The truth is: youth is not a playground — it’s preparation ground. What we do now is planting seeds we’ll harvest later, whether we like it or not.


You Were Born with Purpose — Not to Experiment

I’ve wrestled with this. Because I’m young too. And while I know I’m supposed to enjoy my youth, I can’t shake the weight of purpose. I can’t just do things “for vibes” when I know that everything I allow today will either build or break my tomorrow. I don’t have the luxury of wasting time trying to “find myself” when the One who created me has already spoken purpose over my life. I can’t date just to experiment, because my body is a temple of the Holy Spirit — sacred, not disposable.

“Do you not know that your bodies are temples of the Holy Spirit, who is in you, whom you have received from God? You are not your own; you were bought at a price. Therefore honor God with your bodies.” — 1 Corinthians 6:19–20 (NIV)

Stop Comparing — You’re Set Apart, Not Behind

But let me be honest — comparison has almost crushed me. Social media makes it look like everyone else is living their best life. They’ve got the aesthetic, the soft life, the balance. And I’ve caught myself wondering, How are they doing it all and still having fun? Sometimes I even catch myself judging — Don’t they know that actions have consequences? But I realize the real problem is that I’ve been trying to carry Kingdom purpose while still craving the comfort of Egypt. Trying to live set apart while still longing to fit in. And that doesn’t work.

“Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God’s will is — his good, pleasing and perfect will.” — Romans 12:2 (NIV)

Royalty Doesn’t Copy Culture — It Sets It

I’ve had to remind myself: I am not common. I am chosen. I’m not called to blend in — I’m called to stand out. And if I’m going to live like royalty, I can’t keep acting like a tourist in the Kingdom.

“But you are a chosen people, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, God’s special possession, that you may declare the praises of him who called you out of darkness into his wonderful light.” — 1 Peter 2:9 (NIV)

Don’t Wait for Later — God Wants You Now

Why do we think we’ll serve God better later? Why do we assume we’ll be more obedient when we’re older, more tired, more broken? Jeremiah didn’t wait. Esther didn’t wait. Mary didn’t wait. Why should you?

“But the Lord said to me, ‘Do not say, “I am only a youth,” for to all to whom I send you, you shall go, and whatever I command you, you shall speak. Do not be afraid of them, for I am with you to deliver you,’ declares the Lord.” — Jeremiah 1:7–8 (ESV)

This Generation Needs Your Fire, Not Your Fear

Now is the time to rise. To lead. To burn. To carry revival in our hands and purity in our hearts. This generation is not waiting for perfect people — it’s waiting for bold ones. And we were born for such a time as this.

Join the Movement — Christ Over Vibes

I’m not writing this because I’ve figured it all out. I’m writing this because I’ve tasted the tension — and I’ve chosen Christ. I'm choosing purpose over popularity. Holiness over hype. Fire over feelings. And I’m inviting you to do the same.

“How can a young person stay on the path of purity? By living according to your word.” — Psalm 119:9 (NIV)

Youth is not for vibes. Youth is for Christ.
Let’s live like we know that.

The Essence of Love: Rooted in God, Lived Through Us

written by:
In a world filled with countless definitions of love, it’s easy to get lost in surface-level emotions and fleeting moments. Love is one of the most profound and powerful forces in existence, yet its true meaning is often misunderstood. The world presents love in many forms—romantic gestures, fleeting emotions, and conditional acceptance—but true love is far deeper. At its core, love originates from God, for He is love itself. As we celebrate the month of love, let’s take a deeper dive into the true meaning of love—one that goes beyond mere feelings and romantic gestures. Join me as we unpack the essence of love, rooted in God, and discover how we can love Him, ourselves, and others in the way He intended. The True Nature of Love Love is a doing word—it cannot be expressed outside of God, for God is love. The very character of God defines love, and His actions speak of love in volumes. From the beginning of time, as stated in Genesis 1:1, God created the universe for us. Out of love, He...

A Journey of Renewal: Embracing 2024 with a Transformed Mindset

written by:
Greetings Beloved I hope you well and in good health under the grace of the Lord almighty, if not then receive healing in the name of Jesus Christ of Narezeth who is our Lord and savior. Reflection on 2023: A year of challenge and triumphs Let’s reflect back to 2023 a bit for the last time- How was the year for you? Were you living in your answered prayer era but not really happy or content. Were you on the soldier’s list where you had to fight (spiritually or physically) to get things done? Was it a year of confusion for you where you were just going with the flow? How many mental and emotional breakdowns did you have? Did the late night sleep and hard work finally pay off and are you happy with the results? How was your relationship with God throughout the year? Would you say that you were obedient or you were working on it? How many times did you fall back to sin? Would you like 2024 to be the same as 2023 or better? Setting the Scene for 2024: A Mindset Shift Today is the 5th of Ja...

Rising in Victory: Stepping Boldly into 2025

written by:
 The year is coming to an end, and as we look back on our achievements and growth, it’s clear that not all outcomes have been as we hoped. I know mine weren’t. There was so much I planned to accomplish this year but didn’t—largely due to laziness, procrastination, and misplaced priorities. Yet, even in my failures, God showed up in ways I could never have imagined. He blessed me with accomplishments beyond my wildest dreams—things I hadn’t even dared to ask for. This year was tough, but it was also transformative. In every storm, I saw the hand of God. I saw His glory and favor manifest in my life. For the first time, I feel content. I’ve come to understand that there is no life without Christ. As Jesus said, “I have come that they may have life, and have it to the full” (John 10:10). I am living in the season of fullness and favor—a season only He can bring. Every sacrifice has been worth it. The midnight prayers, the conferences I attended, and the moments I poured into seeking ...
