Why You Should Be Baptized.
Happy Sunday to you! Here's a clear, heart-touching, and youth-friendly message to teenagers and young people about why and how to get baptized —
🕊️ WHY SHOULD YOU GET BAPTIZED?
1. Jesus did it — and told us to do the same.
In Matthew 3:13-17, Jesus Himself was baptized — not because He had sins, but to fulfill all righteousness. Then in Matthew 28:19, He told us:
“Go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them…”
So when you get baptized, you're walking in the footsteps of Jesus.
2. It's a public declaration of your faith.
Baptism is like putting on a jersey that says, “I belong to Jesus!”
It shows the world that you've accepted Him as your Saviour and are ready to live for Him — boldly and unashamed.
3. It's symbolic of a new life.
Romans 6:4 says:
“We were buried with Him through baptism into death… so that we too may live a new life.”
When you're baptized, it's like burying your old self and rising again as a brand-new person — forgiven, loved, and transformed.
💧 HOW DO YOU GET BAPTIZED?
1. First, believe in Jesus and accept Him as your Lord.
Acts 2:38 says:
“Repent and be baptized…”
That means you make a decision to turn from sin and trust Jesus with your life.
2. Talk to a pastor or church leader.
Let someone who teaches the Bible guide you. They’ll help you understand baptism and prepare you — whether it’s a class, conversation, or just sharing your heart.
3. Get baptized in water — fully immersed.
Most biblical baptisms happened in rivers or large pools. It’s a full-body experience symbolizing total cleansing, like starting fresh.
4. Keep growing in your faith.
Baptism is a beginning, not an end. Afterward, stay close to God by praying, reading the Bible, and surrounding yourself with godly friends.
❤️ A Final Word to You
If you’re young and wondering if it’s your time — let me say this:
Yes, it is.
You don’t have to wait until you're "perfect." Baptism is not about being ready to impress God — it's about responding to His love and saying:
“Lord, I’m Yours now and forever.”
Don’t delay.
Don’t be shy.
Be bold for Jesus.
The world is watching for real light. Be that light. 🌟

Humble Yourself.
Luke 14:7–11 is indeed a basic, almost “kindergarten” principle—humility. Yet, sadly, it's one of the most ignored in today's world. Here's the passage for context:
“When he noticed how the guests picked the places of honor at the table, he told them this parable… For all those who exalt themselves will be humbled, and those who humble themselves will be exalted.”
— Luke 14:7–11 (NIV)
What We See Today
Today, many people are obsessed with:
Status: Rushing to be seen, celebrated, and followed.
Recognition: Wanting to be called “boss,” “papa,” “CEO,” “apostle,” etc.
Platforms: Fighting for stage time, mic time, or attention online.
Positioning: Even in churches, events, weddings, and funerals, people scramble for front seats and titles.
Yet Jesus said: Don't pick the high seat for yourself. Let God and others honor you when the time is right.
Why This Message Is Still Relevant
We live in a culture of self-promotion. Humility seems weak.
But in God's kingdom, humility is the true pathway to elevation.
In a world full of people shouting, "See me! Notice me! Promote me!"
—Jesus whispers: “Humble yourself.”

Family Healer
Greetings, my readers.
We're raising a deep and timely concern on this topic. Let’s explore Luke 12:51–53 together in light of the current disunity in families and the world.
🔹 The Passage (Luke 12:51-53, NKJV)
"Do you suppose that I came to give peace on earth? I tell you, not at all, but rather division. For from now on five in one house will be divided: three against two, and two against three. Father will be divided against son and son against father, mother against daughter and daughter against mother..."
At first glance, this seems shocking—Jesus, the Prince of Peace, saying He brings division? But let’s look closer.
🔸 What Did Jesus Really Mean?
Jesus wasn’t promoting conflict but foretelling it. He knew that His presence, His truth, and His call to radical obedience would naturally create division, even among families.
✝️ The Real Cause of Division:
Truth challenges comfort — His message separates those who choose light from those who cling to darkness.
Loyalty to Christ often puts people at odds with cultural norms or family expectations.
Even love for family must not replace love for God (Luke 14:26).
So yes, Jesus meant this spiritually—division as a byproduct of people responding differently to Him.
🔸 What About Today’s Divisions?
We can all rightly say:
“It’s not all because of standing for or against God’s Word.”
And we're absolutely correct.
🌍 Today’s Divisions Also Come From:
Selfishness and greed
Political and economic interests
Broken moral foundations
Social media-fueled disinformation
Identity confusion and individualism
Jesus foresaw that the world would resist truth, and in that resistance, division would multiply—
not just over theology,
but over truth itself in all areas.
🔹 The Heart of the Matter
Even in homes where all members claim to follow Christ, division persists because:
Hearts are not fully surrendered.
Love is conditional.
Forgiveness is absent.
Pride reigns over humility.
🔸 Our Observation Is Prophetic
Let's remember:
“We celebrated mother’s day, children’s day and father’s day. But there’s no peace nor unity…”
These celebrations feel symbolic now, not substantial.
It’s almost as if we’re clinging to the shell of family while ignoring its soul.
🔹 So, Did Jesus Mean It Like This?
✅ Yes — He meant that standing for truth would cause spiritual division,
and that would spill into practical relationships.
❌ No — He didn’t desire chaos, hatred, or lovelessness.
That is the fruit of people rejecting Him—not His will, but the result of free will.
🔸 Final Word: A Call to Us
Let’s not just mourn the disunity, but:
Be peacemakers (Matthew 5:9), not peace-keepers.
Speak truth in love (Ephesians 4:15).
Live surrendered, so the world sees the unity that Christ prayed for in John 17.
