In his recent sermon aimed at encouraging Christians to take part in the great commission, pastor Gerald Mwebe explained that in “whatever area God has placed you, preach.”
“The enemy has deceived our young people so much that at this point they believe wickedness is cool. Many now think doing drugs and drinking is stylish and sleeping around is trendy, overlooking all the dangers. It’s because the enemy has planted lies in their innocent minds at a young age just to destroy them,” he said.
“Friends, in whatever area God has placed you, preach. If you are a parent or God has given you the opportunity of having children and teenagers in your care, show them Christ. Don’t assume they know, teach them, be intentional. Most of our young people drift away because they are looking for an opportunity to be loved and accepted. You can preach to them by loving them and encouraging them through their life journey,” he added.
