KYCK 2014 THE NARROW ROAD
Hello to all of my lovely followers,
On the 25th-27th of April, I attended KYCK 2014 with another 2000 youth to discover more about Jesus and to praise and worship him through wonderful songs. The theme was 'The Narrow Road' and based on the Sermon on the Mount. It was so much better than I expected, praise God for that! So many people were transformed by Jesus' love and many decided to accept Jesus as their saviour for the very first time.
I couldn't be more thankful for such an event. I'm writing this the day after and am having serious withdrawal symptoms. I wish I was back there, celebrating Jesus with 2000 other brothers and sisters in Christ. I learnt a lot, and was also reminded of so much.
The talks really spoke to me, especially being reminded of God's grace and how we can't forget that it is by God's grace that we can walk the narrow road. We have to stop trying to right our wrongs and focus on Jesus. Stop trying to win the approval of others. God is the only one who should be in our grandstand. Focus on GOD and his grace.
Moreover, it is so easy to be Christian when you are surrounded by other loving brother and sisters in Christ. But what about when you're in a place where it isn't so easy to be Christian? You can't be a 'sometimes' Christian! Don't fall into the wide road, for that road leads to destruction. Fix your eyes on the goal! (Matthew 7:13 - Enter through the narrow gate. For wide is the gate and broad is the road that leads to destruction, and many enter through it.)
Some things I picked up from the talks and things I really need to remember include:
worrying is pointless! (Matthew 6: 27 - Can anyone of you by worrying add a single day to your life? )
it's all about God's grace, not anything that we do because we don't even deserve Jesus
obedience without forgiveness is useless, but forgiveness without obedience is imcomplete - hear God's word and then DO IT!
with God...you will not fall
P.S the band that played was called 'City Alight' and believe me, they were amazing!
