Message:
Did you accept Christ at a young age, and now you feel unmotivated about your walk with God, or perhaps, you think you’ve outgrown your Christian walk and it’s time to find something new? Well, the truth is that Christianity is a relationship with Jesus. You may sometimes feel really dedicated to Christ by doing certain Church activities when you’re at home but the moment you get back to school, you may be tempted to go cold on God and spiritual activities that will help you grow.
Below are some tips to help you stay devoted to Christ and grow no matter where you find yourself:
- Read and study your Bible for at least twenty minutes a day. You can do more but not less.
- Thirst for the in-filling of the Holy Spirit and build up your faith by praying in tongues. This experience is always amazing.
- Fellowship with others by praying together and sharing testimonies about what God is doing in your life. Iron sharpens iron Proverbs 27:17).

Hymn 9 – O Jesus I Have Promised
- O Jesus, I have promised
To serve Thee to the end;
Be Thou forever near me,
My Master and my Friend;
I shall not fear the battle
If Thou art by my side,
Nor wander from the pathway
If Thou wilt be my Guide.
- Oh, let me feel Thee near me;
The world is ever near;
I see the sights that dazzle,
The tempting sounds I hear;
My foes are ever near me,
Around me and within;
But, Jesus, draw Thou nearer,
And shield my soul from sin.
- Oh, let me hear Thee speaking,
In accents clear and still,
Above the storms of passion,
The murmurs of self-will;
Oh, speak to reassure me,
To hasten, or control;
Oh, speak, and make me listen,
Thou Guardian of my soul.
- O Jesus, Thou hast promised
To all who follow Thee
That where Thou art in glory
There shall Thy servant be;
And Jesus, I have promised
To serve Thee to the end;
Oh, give me grace to follow,
My Master and my Friend.
5. Oh, let me see Thy footmarks,
And in them plant mine own;
My hope to follow duly Is in Thy strength alone.
Oh, guide me, call me, draw me,
Uphold me to the end;
And then to rest receive me,
My Savior and my Friend
