Bible Reading: Isaiah 9: 8-10
Memory Verse: How can a young person stay pure? By obeying your word. Psalm 119:9 (NLT)
Be blessed:
1. On not giving up: I already know what giving up feels like. I want to see what happens if I don’t — Neila Rey

4. On sexual purity 001: Nothing has stolen more dreams, dashed more hopes, broken up more families, and messed up more people psychologically than our propensity to disregard God’s commands regarding sexual purity.
5. On sexual purity 002: There is no sexual intercourse that leaves you the same.
6. On tomorrow: One thing I cherish about tomorrow is, you will never know who will be relevant, available, alive, bigger, smaller, richer, poorer, and mostly needed. Tread carefully and softly, because only God knows tomorrow. So, love, forgive and be good to everyone. Tomorrow is real.
7. On financial blessing: When God blesses you financially, don’t raise your standard of living. Raise your standard of giving.
8. On the blessings of failure: If you pay attention to the patterns of your life you’ll realise how much you owe to failure. How these things took you to a greater destination, how they helped you to grow and understand what was really meant for you. You must always remember that.
