While sitting down during the Sunday morning service, they introduced the theme of the year which is “Bold as a Lion.” At that moment I realized how as a Christian in the year 2008 I was not as bold as I would have liked to be. Despite the fact that many teenagers were texting on their phones or looking at the ceiling, I committed myself to follow the theme and set an example for them. This year in 2009 I want the Lord to use me. I want to be a confident, faithful, and a strong lion. In order for me to fulfill this I have to practice following the three resolutions below.
My first personal resolution demands me to read the bible and pray everyday. “This book of the law shall not depart out of thy mouth; but thou shalt meditate therein day and night, that thou mayest observe to do according to all that is written therein: for then thou shalt make thy way prosperous, and then thou shalt have good success” (Joshua 1; 8). As I read this scripture from the bible I know I need to stay in God’s book to have a better understanding on how to live for him and have a successful life.
In order to have a better relationship with God, I have to read The Bible and pray. It is proven that to read the whole bible it takes 72 hours to complete it, so I have decided to read two chapters everyday of the week. In addition, I will wake up 15 minutes earlier so I can have plenty of time to pray and bring my bible to school in case I have any free time to read it.
My second resolution is to be more faithful to soul winning. Our church goes soul winning every Thursday and Saturday and I need to be there instead of wasting my time doing nothing and being scared of what people might think of me. Going back to my theme of the year, I thought to myself that lions are not scared to do anything and I should not be scared either to knock on people’s doors and tell them who Jesus is and what he has done for me. I have to be bold as a lion. By doing this I can be a good leader to my family and encourage them to do the same. As the president of the bible club, I have to also show my peers that I am involved and care for the things about the Lord. Moving on, I have to step up to the plate and force myself that I have to give out more tracks to people, for example 20 a week or more. Many times I have felt intimated when people look scary and I think to myself “They probably won’t want to hear it”. Instead of thinking that way I have to go up to that scary looking person and tell them about Jesus and his plan of salvation.
My third resolution is to get more people to join the Bible Club (Young Ambassadors for Christ) and share the gospel with them. I believe many students in Lindenwold pass through many problems and don’t have anywhere to go. I want them to know that there is a God and he has everything under control. America in my opinion has forgotten about him, but I want to make a change and make a difference in Lindenwold High School. If God helped Moses cross the red sea and take his people to the promised land, I know he can help me too with my bible club. To make this resolution work, I have decided to extend our meetings to not just Mondays but also Thursdays. I also want to get shirts for the club and make other students know that we are representing the lord in LHS. In addition, I also have planned fun activities later on the year for the club as well as prepare someone else to take good care of the bible club next year. For this week coming up I have created posters and came up with the idea that we should have pizza and Pepsi for this Monday, I have faith that everything will go fine and many more students will come join us.
Overall, I am determine to be faithful to doing my three resolutions and be an ambassador for Christ and represent the lord here on earth. I have trust in myself that I am going to read the whole bible, give out more tracks than ever. So, Lindenwold watch out because this ambassador is not going to be scared to speak out for the Lord and prove to every one that life is good because God is good.
