Youth-centred Message...!

With the International Youth Camp round the corner, given below is excerpts from a Sunday Service by Pastor Manase focussing on the youth.

"When you come to church, if you dont have real thirst for God, the Church will only be like a cricket stadium or a football stadium to you."


When you go to the sea shore, you can take home sand with you, or a bit deeper, you take water with you, still deeper, you can take some fish along, but if you go to the deepest, you will get precious pearls. Come to the presence of God to get pearls.


God has created a longing in each and everyone's heart, which is greater than all the riches of the world put together. Love God for God's sake, not for his blessings, or houses, or healing etc.


Desire God more and more in your life. Longing for God has made youth from far off places to come here today. I was really overjoyed to see a lot of youths at 8.30 itself inside the hall.If God sees a longing heart, He will give it the best of Heaven.


Your motivation is directly proportional to your longing.You commit sin not because of others around you, but because you dont have the longing for holiness of God in you.If you've longing for God, even if the whole of hell is let loose against you, it wont harm you to an iota.


Even if Jesus Himself comes and preaches, or even if you get baptised in Jordan, its of no use, unless you have the longing deep within you. King David, even though he failed many times in his life, he still had one thing in his life, and that was a deep longing for God within him. That's why god certifies of David, that he was after His own heart. This desire should be more than the delicious food you eat.


The whole people of the kingdom came to Kind David, but King David went after God. "As the deer panteth for the waters..."Every beautiful thing in this world echoes a silent language which says that its beauty came from God, its creator.


The most powerful research in the world is the searching of God.Heaven is nothing but a heart filled with the character of God. Hence God's postal address is our heart.


If you cut open King David's heart, you will see God's heart inside him. God was so happy and crazy of King David that He went to the extent of naming His Throne as David's Throne, and many other places after him, including City of David, Son of David etc etc.....


GOD was crazy about David. Is GOD crazy about you today?
