THE REBIRTH YOUTH ON FIRE MINISTRIES

Proverbs 22:6 "Train up a child in the way he should go: and when he is old, he will not depart from it." .Education isn’t just about books and grades it’s about shaping the way children see the world, solve problems, and build relationships. The lessons we teach today become the foundation for their future success. Yet, too often, kids are told what to think instead of being taught how to think. The key to unlocking a child’s full potential lies in equipping them with skills that foster critical thinking, empathy, and resilience skills that most adults wish they had learned sooner. Here are 10 transformative lessons that will prepare your child to navigate life with wisdom and confidence. These lessons will help your kids build skills most adults never learned, giving them the tools to navigate life with intelligence, empathy, and purpose. 1. Emotional Intelligence Help your child connect with their feelings and the feelings of others through: Love Sympathy Politeness Compas...

John 20:11-17 (NKJV) "But Mary stood outside by the tomb weeping, and as she wept she stooped down and looked into the tomb. 12 And she saw two angels in white sitting, one at the head and the other at the feet, where the body of Jesus had lain. 13 Then they said to her, “Woman, why are you weeping?” She said to them, “Because they have taken away my Lord, and I do not know where they have laid Him.” 14 Now when she had said this, she turned around and saw Jesus standing there, and did not know that it was Jesus. 15 Jesus said to her, “Woman, why are you weeping? Whom are you seeking?” She, supposing Him to be the gardener, said to Him, “Sir, if You have carried Him away, tell me where You have laid Him, and I will take Him away.” 16 Jesus said to her, “Mary!” She turned and said to Him, “Rabboni!” (which is to say, Teacher). 17 Jesus said to her, “Do not cling to Me, for I have not yet ascended to My Father; but go to My brethren and say to them, ‘I am ascending to My Father and ...

This is how God made Adam. He took some dust from the ground and with it he formed a perfect body, a man’s body. Then he blew into the man’s nose, and Adam came to life. God had a job for Adam. He told Adam to name all the different kinds of animals. Adam may have watched the animals for a long time so he could pick the best names for them all. While Adam was naming the animals he began to see something. Do you know what that was? The animals all had mates. There were papa elephants and mama elephants, and there were papa lions and mama lions. But Adam had no one to be his mate. So Jehovah made Adam fall into a deep sleep, and he took a rib bone from his side. Using this rib, Jehovah made a woman for Adam, and she became his wife (Happy married life, right?). How happy Adam was now! And think how happy Eve must have been to be put in such a beautiful garden to live! Now they could have children and live together in happiness. God wanted Adam and Eve to live forever. He wanted them to m...

Romans 8:28 (NKJV) "And we know that all things work together for good to those who love God, to those who are the called according to His purpose." Here is a scripture that I have seen so abused in my life as a Christian.  I have heard people say things like, “You know that tragic accident that person had?  We know it was God’s will and He will work it out for the good.”  Or, someone has a sickness come against them, and they hit them with the same line. But to understand this verse, you have to read what the Holy Spirit was talking about.  He was talking about prayer in verse 26-27.  Let us look at it.  Romans 8:26-27 says, “Likewise the Spirit also helps in our weaknesses. For we do not know what we should pray for as we ought, but the Spirit Himself makes intercession for us with groanings which cannot be uttered. 27 Now He who searches the hearts knows what the mind of the Spirit is, because He makes intercession for the saints according to the will of...

THE CREATION DAYS From where did the heavens and earth come? How did the sun, moon and stars, as well as the many things on earth, come to be? The Bible gives the true answer when it says that they were created by God. So our book begins with Bible stories about creation. The first creations of God, we learn, were spirit persons somewhat like himself. They were angels. But the earth was created for people like us. So God made the man and woman named Adam and Eve and put them in a beautiful garden. But they disobeyed God and lost the right to keep living. In all, from Adam’s creation until the great Flood, there were 1,656 years. During this time many bad persons lived. In heaven, there were the unseen spirit persons, Satan and his bad angels. On earth, there were Cain and many other bad persons, including some unusually powerful men. But there were also good people on earth—Abel, Enoch and Noah. In Part ONE we will read about all these people and events. ALL the good things we have com...

"IF I COULD HELP YOU AS EASY AS YOU COULD HELP ME, I WOULD DO IT."  The story is told about a black woman who was in trouble many years ago in the days of slavery. Her 16 year-old daughter was about to be sold on the auction block. The mother bowed her head and prayed, "Dear Lord God, if You were in trouble as I am in trouble, and I could help You as easy as You could help me, I would do it!" This story is a historical fact; a U.S. Senator was present. The senator's 15 year-old son was with him, and when the boy saw them pulling this girl away from her mother, and he saw their tears, he ran to his father and said, "Daddy, loan me $10!" The senator gave him the $10, and the boy ran to the auction block. Before anybody else could start bidding, he said, "I will bid $10." (Ordinarily, $200 would have been a low opening bid, but everybody was so thrilled at what he was doing that nobody else would bid.) The boy bought the girl for $10. Taking the...

  2 Kings 22:1-2 (NKJV) Josiah was eight years old when he became king, and he reigned thirty-one years in Jerusalem. His mother’s name was Jedidah the daughter of Adaiah of Bozkath. 2 And he did what was right in the sight of the Lord, and walked in all the ways of his father David; he did not turn aside to the right hand or to the left. When you read about the lives of the different kings of Israel and Judah, sometimes it makes you scratch your head. Here they were given a great opportunity to be a blessing to a nation, yet so many of them lived for lust and fame. Josiah, however, was not one of them that messed up. From the very young age of eight, he made a decision to serve God. I can just imagine all those that tried to put pressure on him to do it like everybody else. “Life is to be lived to have fun! Enjoy the moment, for today we live and tomorrow we die!” But not this young king. He had something deep within him that was special. Let me show you what it was: In 2 ...

2 Peter 1:20-21 (NKJV) Knowing this first, that no prophecy of Scripture is of any private interpretation, 21 for prophecy never came by the will of man, but holy men of God spoke as they were moved by the Holy Spirit. The Bible is like no other book. It is a book that has not come from the will of man, but the will of God. God put Himself into the Bible, and that is why it is still the number one selling book of all times. If I take a balloon and blow into it, my life is in that balloon. My very DNA is in it. It is the same with the Bible. It has the DNA of God, and that is why it is a living book. I read this quote by Max Lucado years ago: “The Bible has been banned, burned, scoffed, and ridiculed. Scholars have mocked it as foolish. Kings have branded it as illegal. A thousand times over it the grave has been dug, and the dirge has begun, but somehow the Bible never stays in the grave. Not only has it survived, it has thrived. It is the single most popular book in all of histo...

He sends forth [rains], and they overwhelm the land or transform it. – Job 12:15, AMP. Sometimes on the news, the weather person will announce that we’re under a Flash Flood Warning. That means conditions are ripe for possible flooding. Water could get out of its normal boundaries. It could overflow and increase in such a way that drainage and bayous are overwhelmed. Just like that weather person, I’m here to announce to you today that you’re under a Flash Flood Warning. Conditions are just right. You’ve honored God. You’ve been faithful. You’ve passed the test. Now God is saying, “There’s about to be a flood, but not with water. You’re going to see a flood of My goodness, a flood of opportunity, a flood of healing, a flood of good breaks to where you are overwhelmed with God’s favor. It’s beyond your expectations. It puts you into overflow.” Today, get ready! Get your expectancy up. Be on the lookout for His goodness because a flood of favor is coming your way! PRAYER: Father, thank Y...

 As we have borne the image of the man of dust, we shall also bear the image of the heavenly Man.-1 Corinthians 15:49 Jesus spoke to Nicodemus and told him that this new birth is not flesh and blood; it is the life of God. It is a spiritual life, as real as God, as true as God. We are formed in God's very image. He has quickened us and made us to be like Him with an in[1]ward, spiritual life. Just as we have our humanity, so the new nature, the new power, is continually forming a new man in us after the order of Him. The first Adam was formed, and we are in the vision of him; the last Adam, the new creation, is going to have a vision and expression like Him. I was once exactly where Nicodemus was; I said, "How can these things be?" (John 3:9). Then there came by faith a regenerating power that made me know I was born of God. It came like the wind. I could not see it, but I felt it. It had a tremendous effect upon my human nature, and I found that I was a new creation. I f...

  Bible Reading: Mark 6:1-6 A prophet is honored everywhere except in his own hometown and among his relatives and his own family. Mark 6:4 “LISTEN,” DANIEL SAID as he shook a wrench in my face, “you can’t tell me that some guy who lived two thousand years ago and walked around in a white robe telling stories is going to make a difference to me today.” He swept his arm around him to indicate the garage and the cars on blocks. “I don’t have time,” he continued. “I mean, this Jesus stuff is okay for some people like women and kids who like the stories and might even get something out of them. But for me? I don’t think so. Jesus has nothing to do with a guy who has a timing chain to set on one car and a cracked block to replace on another.” Daniel echoes the way lots of people feel about Jesus. They see him like a plastic statue on a car dashboard-smiling, robed, a halo suspended above his head. “Jesus is fine,” they say, “for people with their heads in the clouds. But he really doesn...

Date: Feb. 11, 1917 When I read this chapter there is a thrill that goes down through my soul, and I would to God that the real spiritual truths of it could forever be established in the minds of men. I once listened to an eminent divine preaching from the text, "What is man?" and when he got through I had a feeling that man was a kind of whipped cur with his tail between his legs, sneaking out to throw himself into the lake saying, "Here goes nothing." I said, "He has never caught the fire of the thing Jesus is endeavoring to teach through the apostle - that man was the crowning creation of God. That God endowed him with a nature and qualities that by the grace of God can express more of God than any other of God's creations. That God purposed by the Holy Spirit to make the salvation of Jesus Christ so real in the nature of man that 'He that sanctifieth (Jesus Christ) and they that are sanctified' through His grace are both of one nature, of one su...

 "I try to find common ground with everyone so that I might bring them to Christ." 1 Corinthians 9:22 “ISN’T IT a bit much,” Kalie argued, “that Jesus tells us to reach the world? I mean, there are five hundred kids just in my grade at school. How can I even make a dent in that much less do something good for the rest of the world? Where am I supposed to start?” (I expected you to ask such a great question) Think about your best friends. Are any of them non-Christians? Think about the people you spend the bulk of your time with each day at school, office or your trading ground, Are any of them non-Christians? Think about your neighbors. Are any of them non-Christians? If you nodded yes to any of those questions, you’re in the perfect spot to join God in his rescue mission. But there are some crucial things to remember as you re­spond to God’s invitation to share Christ with others: BE SENSITIVE TO GOD’S SPIRIT LEADING YOU THINK ABOUT IT:  God has already put people all around...

Basically, according to the definition of Wisdom from the Oxford dictionary; wisdom is the quality of having experience, knowledge, and good judgement. It is the quality of being wise. Wisdom is the body of knowledge and experience that develops within a specified society or period. It is the state of being wise. According the the scriptures, the word WISDOM simple means; "the wisdom of God." It is the supernatural impartation of facts, guidance, and solutions.  The result is always beyond human intelligence because it is purely by a supernatural download from above. THERE ARE THREE TYPES OF WISDOM. a. Human Wisdom - Ecclesiastes 1:9, 3:19-20, 7:16-17. The Wisdom of this age is the wisdom we acquire through books, experience and observations. This type of Wisdom can be acquired by anybody whether they have the Holy Spirit or not. This is a kind of wisdom you acquire from the Universities or any learning environment, it is natural. Anyone can attend medical school and become a...
