“Sister Chette, Ikaw ang mag exhort this sunday sa KKB” – Bro. John (KKB Angeles Chairman)
You have no idea how big my eyes were when I heard him said those words. KAKA-SHOCK! pero it was confirmed by God; It is time to preach to the youth. Yeah I preached already in Prayer Meetings, Bible Study and even Life Groups pero… I have no idea that it was so hard to preach to the Youth Congregation.
Kalaban lang diyan naman eh… yung boredom; yung kawalang interest… these are the youth we’re talking about. (kaagad ma-bobore) @.@ And I didn’t know how to preach to them… I know that in Life Group… when I start to preach I make them laugh pero they are not this much you know?
So last Saturday; I sat in front of my computer… prayed to God what to preach… and of course I have to make a topic about the theme of the church. The Church Theme is about “Significance and Worship.” So I sat there, listening to random Christian Mp3s… as I opened the Bible… there was no message… @.@ So I waited for God’s message
Until… He made me remember… His Love. The One that drag me into His presence… His Unconditional Love and How important we are to Him. So then… I started to open the MSWord and my hands started to type the title.. “Our Significance to God; that is why we Worship Him”. Then after I finished typing the title… He led me to the verse of 2 Cor 2:17 “Therefore if anyone is in Christ, He is a New Creation, the Old has gone… the New has come”.
Then after an Hour… I finished the message of God and I couldn’t believe it! I was like… WOW.
So Sunday came… and it was KKB Service… 2pm… I kept asking God to help me, and I always declare that apart from Him; I can do nothing… I even told Sis.Bheng, Bro.John and Bro.Philip to pray for me… sobrang nervous ko @.@ Truly that apart from God.. I can do nothing.
So after the game.. I stood in the Pulpit and ask the Youth to pray before I delievered the message of God. As I was praying; I also prayed deep inside of me that God will not leave me and… May God’s presence hide the “ME” so that He can move freely in me.
Then I felt God’s assurance and my nervous left me; and I felt the power of the Holy Spirit moved in me. As I started to deliver God’s message, the youth were listening to me seriously, and laugh when I make them laugh. And before the Ministering… I told them that God loves them sooo much. Especially when I told them…
SO KKB RADICALS.. if you think you are USELESS, NO ONE LOVES YOU… THINK AGAIN.
YOU DON’T NEED TO BE EMO. GOD LOVES YOU SO MUCH. YOU DON’T NEED TO LOOK FOR LOVE. GOD IS ALWAYS BESIDE YOU. YOU DON’T HAVE TO BE CONFUSED IN LIFE. BECAUSE GOD IS WITH YOU.IN THIS GENERATION, YOU ARE ONE OF GOD’S CHOSEN PEOPLE. YOU ARE NOT USELESS.
As the Keyboard played the Song, “Who am I” God started to minister to each one of them. Some youth cried, Some youth kneeled down. They felt how Important they are in God’s sight.
All of us… were reminded; how Important we are to God – that is why He is worthy to be worship. We maybe the biggest loser, the darkest human being, the rebel, the most outcast… but when we accepted Jesus as our personal Lord and Savior… He’ll change our lives and He’ll adopt us in His family.
Thank you God for using me to these youth

Btw.. before the Message? There was a game called “Identity”… there were only few people who had the chance to take part in it, BUT the youth congregation were shock when they found out more about the past of their leaders. God is just so awesome that these “Trash” before… He picked them up… made them Leaders and treasures in His sight… Let me just give you some samples hehe
