WEEK 1

Topic: Reputation

Reputation is what is generally said, believed or judged about the character of a person or thing, noticedby other people of some quality or ability. Many people have thrown away their reputation because of

money, position or even marriage. But a good name is better than riches (Proverbs 22:1; Ecclesiastes

7:1a). One of the best ways to build a good reputation is to seek the Lord. People are chosen for good

position in this life based on their reputations (Acts 6:3; Romans1:8). This is because God directs Hisfavour to those that have good reputation.

Quietness of spirit results from having faith and trust in God, which engenders serenity, calmness and

tranquillity. It is the opposite of loudness, rashness, nervous talk or activity. It is important to point out

that quietness of spirit is the strength of the spirit. A quiet fool is considered to be wise until he speaks.

The patient in spirit exhibits a lot of strength in dignity (Ecclesiastes 7:8; Isaiah 30:15a, 1Peter 3:4)

The Lord blesses an atmosphere of quiet calmness and encourages His followers to learn

quietness, meekness of spirit and manner (Isaiah 7:4a; 1Thessalonians 4:11a; James 1:19a). Quieting our

spirits before the Lord shows that we expect him to work in our behalf; its faith and trust (Exodus 14:13a;

Job 22:21; Psalm 42:5; Philippians 4:6,7)

insincerity (Psalm 12:2; 5:9; 62:4; 78:36-37). The Lord shall cut off all flattering lips (Psalm

become sin only when we entertain them because no whatever, is not of faith is sin (Romans 14:23b).Despite Devil lies, or others doubts, Gods truth stands unchanged (Numbers 23:19; Isaiah 55:11;

Week 6

Topic: Habits, Overcoming Bad Habit

A habit is a recurrent, often unconscious pattern that is required through frequent repetition; an

established state of mind or character; customary manner or practice. Habits can be good or bad; help or

harmful. In order to continue to grow spiritually, we need to strive to replace old habits with positive new

ones. No parent will teach the child to act wrongly. Keeping on with the good acts leads to good habits

(2Timothy 2:21). The Lord can help us change and overcome anything; all He needs is our yieldedness

and cooperation (Jeremiah 32:27). One therefore has to make a deliberate decision to shun bad habits not

only for our own sake, but also for the sake of others, it is part of love (Galatians 5:13,14). Some of themore serious bad habits may have evil spirits at the root (2Corinthians 2:11, Ephesians 6: 10-12)

5/7

and supplication with thanksgiving let our request be made known unto God (Philippians 4:6). Our

attitude towards negative events around us show our spiritual state.To a sinning youth, unpleasant

situations in his life will create confusion, heartache, and terrible anxiety. He does not have the courage to

pray, and even if he does, his prayer (except that of repentance)are abominations before the Lord.

WEEK 8

Topic: Saintly Walk in a Corrupt World

The Bible describes the world as perverse, crooked and corrupt while it aptly describes those who are

born again as saints. God wants all Christian youths to know that they are saints and must maintain a holywalk in the midst of a crooked, corrupt and perverse world. No other life pleases and glorifies the Lord

more than a saint shining as light in the world. For the saint, every situation and circumstance of life

presents an opportunity to shine for the Lord in the school, in the neighbourhood and the in the church.

We must maintain a saintly walk and let our light so shine that everyone may see our good works and

glorify our Father, which is in heaven. Like the wick depends on the oil supplied from the lamp for its

brightening, the grace of God will only be kept and maintained through a consistent prayer life and dailyself- examination.

WEEK 9

Topic: Maintaining Your Integrity

Integrity is the quality of being honest, being trust-worthy and having high moral principles that yourefuse to change. Job said till I die I will not remove my integrity from me. My righteousness I hold fast,

and will not let it go: my heart shall not reproach me so long as I live (Job 27:5,6). He was prepared to dieand he was convinced that the best preparation for death was perseverance in integrity. Samuel

challenged Israel whose ox have I taken? Whose ass have I taken? Whom have I defrauded? Whom have

I oppressed? Of whose had I received any bribe to blind my eyes therewithand they said, thou

has not defrauded us..(1Samuel 12:3-5).

Job and Samuel were honest men who valued integrity as a mark of true religion. They are

challenges to us today as Christian youths, teaching us that despite our situations, we should maintain

honesty, good conscience and uprightness before God and men. Those who value integrity and high moral

standards, show it by their lives. Such Christian youths do not get involved in examination malpractice,

and will by no means cooperate with sinners and hypocrites to buy examination questions from corrupt

examination officials or their agents. They also keep themselves from every form of sexual immorality,

occultism, false worship, idol worship, violence and destruction of lives and property.
