In September, the Youth Spiritual Meeting was held. The Adam Youth Committee, tasked with organising it, set the theme regarding marriage. The issue was: the whole committee consisted of youths who were all single (not even dating) except one who was married. The speaker told the committee (including himself) to read up on the teachings of marriage. He thinks it would’ve been better if someone married led it. The speaker would like to encourage us to continue to serve the Lord, so the above situation will not be faced so often. Married brothers and sisters were spoken to, books and articles were read.

Many a times when we do something repeatedly for a long time, we lose the faith we initially had. We’ll start to feel frustrated, especially when we see no results. Slowly, we start to lose heart. We don’t continue what we were doing as wholeheartedly, carrying out the task haphazardly or doing it for the sake of doing it.

When Saul met the Lord calling out to him, he asked the Lord 2 questions:

Through the book of Revelation, the Lord tells us of the various things that happened to the 7 churches. The Lord didn’t take away these problems but allowed them to continue to happen in the church. This isn’t for us to doubt His existence but for us to be able to face thee problems. The Lord doesn’t want us to be defeated because of these problems, but to be victorious over them.

2 Kings 13:14-17
Elisha became sick to the point of death. Yet he still taught Joash the king of Israel about the arrow of victory. Joash wept before Elisha. Elisha understood the Kings difficulties and fears and told him to take a bow and some arrows and told him to shoot the arrows. This is the arrow of the Lord’s deliverance and God will help you destroy the enemies.
