Grant
me footsteps of faith, Lord Jesus
,/
My path make the one You have shown. / May Your grace be my strength as I journey / with heart that is starving and thirsting, / yet again to Your grace
throne.
I
give thanks to You, Lord, for mercy, / which here through Your gospel I own. / Through Your Spirit Your children possess it. / Once they as a gift have received it, / they will share what they have found.Slide2
SHZ 477
Help
me, Jesus, to travel onward, / my footsteps keep firm on this way. / ‘Mid the dangers of sin and corruption / I find here Your comforting haven. / There is peace,
security.
Through
derision and dreadful trials / my pathway winds narrow and steep. / From this
warfaring
home congregation / take me to Your heavenly mansion, / into everlasting peace

What is a yoke?Slide5
Two kinds of yoking
Equally yokedSlide6
Unequally YokedSlide7
Unequally Yoked With Unbelievers
What does this mean?
To have fellowship with someone that would draw us away from faith.
We could ask ourselves – “Why?”
“Be
ye not unequally yoked together with unbelievers
: for
what fellowship hath righteousness with unrighteousness? and what communion hath light with
darkness?
”

Cor. 6:

The Work Of The Enemy
In our personal endeavor.
In our schools/colleges.
In the world around us.
The enemy of souls wants us to become sleepy in our battle in faith just as the disciples who slept.
Jesus
instructed
:
“
Watch and pray, that ye enter not into temptation: the spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak” (Matt. 26 : 41). Slide13
The Work Of The Enemy – Personal Endeavor
Radio/
Cds
/Cell Phones/iPods and tablets – Bad music, etc.
Social media – Facebook,
Instagram
, Twitter,
Snapchat
, etc.
Internet – Pornography, Movies, Sporting events etc. — Addiction
In all the above we can become unequally yoked with unbelievers and those things of this world that draw us from the teachings of God’s Word.Slide14
The Work Of The Enemy - In School/College
The world entices to come this way. (Parties, Sporting Events, Concerts, etc.)
Attractions of the opposite sex.
The Bible teaches, “Thou shalt not take a wife of the daughters of Canaan; And that Jacob obeyed his father and mother” (Gen. 28:6
).Slide15
The Work Of The Enemy - In School/College
Taking part in sports. (Pressures from the coaches)
It can seem so innocent.
God’s
Word
does not change with the winds of this world and with the mind of man.
“
Jesus Christ the same yesterday, and to day, and for
ever” (Heb. 13:8).Slide16
Scripture Teaches
“Enter
not into the path of the wicked
, and
go not in the way of evil men
.
Avoid it, pass not by it, turn from
it
,
and
pass away”
(Prov.
4:
14,15).
“
Now I beseech you, brethren, mark them which cause divisions and offences contrary to the doctrine which ye have learned; and avoid them” (Rom. 16:
17).Slide17
The Work Of The Enemy - In The World
Temptation of being too close to those on the outside of God’s Kingdom.
Temptation to go to the theatres of this world.
Temptation to go to the arenas to watch sporting events…High school, college, professional.
The enemy works…slyly, cunningly.Slide18
Security In The Center Of The Flock
The blessing of believing friends. (What are true friends?)
We own true joy when sins are forgiven.
That keeps our hope of Heaven bright!
A beautiful place to dwell…God’s Kingdom. (Safe & secure)
We can own true freedom with the believers…fellowship with young and old alike.
“For the kingdom of God is not meat and drink; but righteousness, and peace, and joy in the Holy Ghost” (Rom.14:17).Slide19

Father, guide me in Your truth, do not let me waver- / I received my time of youth / as gift, Creator. / As I travel on Your way, / hope is shining brightly /as a light that goes before, / drawing me to glory.
Leaves are scattered in the breeze / over fields and gardens / like the many youth we see / blown by changing doctrines; / in despair and hopelessness / with no sure foundation, / Satan’s spirit, merciless, /leads to condemnation.Slide20
Thank You, Father, that I may / grow as Your creation. / Shield me in Your love each day / in Your congregation. / In my calling, counsel me, / help me, give me mercy. / You forgive iniquity; / with Your Word You carry.
Jesus, I receive from You / days of honest labors, / that my gifts might all be used / serving all my neighbors. / Bless my work, and bless my rest
; /bless
my times of study. / Give me peace, contentedness / in each task and duty.Slide21
In my heart preserve Your light; / shine its truth and wisdom. / Keep my hope of heaven bright; keep me in Your kingdom. / May I always trust in You; / may I always heed You. / Father, through my days of youth, may I always need You.Slide22
Scripture Teaches
“
He that
loveth
his life shall lose it; and he that
hateth
his life in this world shall keep it unto life eternal”
(John
12:
25).
“
If ye were of the world, the world would love his
own: but
because ye are not of the world, but I have chosen you out of the world, therefore the world
hateth
you” (John
15:
19).Slide23
Scripture Teaches
“
Love not the world, neither the things that are in the world. If any man love the world, the love of the Father is not in him. For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh, and the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life, is not of the Father, but is of the world. And the world
passeth
away, and the lust thereof
: but
he that doeth the will of God
abideth
for
ever.
”

John 2: 15-
17) Slide24
Children Of The Light
“
Ye are the light of the world. A city that is set on an hill cannot be hid. Neither do men light a candle, and put it under a bushel, but on a candlestick; and it
giveth
light unto all that are in the house. Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in
heaven”
(Matt
. 5:14-
16)Slide25
Endeavor To Be Obedient
“
Then
spake
Jesus again unto them, saying, I am the light of the
world
:
he
that
followeth
me shall not walk in darkness, but shall have the light of life” (John 8:
12).
“
He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit
saith
unto the
churches” (Rev
. 2:
29).
We want to be departure ready at all times.Slide26
God Helps Us To The Destination
“
And the Lord,
He
it is that doth go before thee;
He
will be with thee,
He
will not fail thee, neither forsake thee
: fear
not, neither be dismayed” (
Deut
.
31:8
).
It pays to believe and continue in faith endeavoring to battle against the threefold enemy.
“For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth” (Rom. 1:16).Slide27
THE REWARD IS GREAT!
