NEGATIVE CELEBRATION.

The world consists of over 6 billion people. We have almost uncountable tribes and culture in the world.
Because of human nature (old adamic nature), people desires to be celebrated and outshine others in this world.

The people that seems to prosper beyond their contemporaries are called celebrities. The word celebrity is rigidly related to the word celebration.

I have no problem with celebrities, except for the fact that if you are a celebrity that is against Christ, h3ll is certain for you.

When a person lives his or her life as a celebrity and end in h3ll it is really a great lost. Meanwhile, God created everyone to be celebrated in one field or the other.

One way or the other everyone will be celebrated. It all depend on the choice of the fellow. We have both negative and positive celebrations, the choice is yours.

You can choose to be celebrated in Christ or celebrated by the world. Moreover, if the world is the one celebrating you, you have no portion in the kingdom of God and His Christ.

We had many Bible characters that were celebrated in Christ Abraham, Moses, Peter, Paul, Job, Daniel and Stephen, just to mention few of them.

Nevertheless, our case study for this write-up is Samson. Samson came from a special group of heaven. The group of Samson, there were only four of them that God allowed to showcase in this world.

This is a special group that demands Angels to announce their name even before their birth.
Jesus, John the Baptist, Isaac and Samson. Among these four people mentioned, it was only Samson that failed woefully. He chosed to go the way of the world and he lost his eye (signifying vision) and his hair (signifying strength and glory.)

Samson was supposed to be a celebrity in Christ but unfortunately, he became a celebrity in the camp of the enemy.

Dear youth and young stars, I need to ask you who you represent, Christ or the world? Many of the youth in our churches are double the children of hellfire. They sing powerful praises in the choir and kept on with their fornication, abortion, masturbation and pornography.

Samson was killing the enemies with the jawbone(he had mighty strength) but he was the fornicator.
Samson died without remedy, my fellow youth I plead with you today, decide to stand for Christ, be a good example.

Do not join that cult, reject the smoking, say no to alcoholism and defend your heritage which is in Christ.
Come out from among them. You can't go far in life as a Christian youth if Nollywood and Bollywood stars are your role model and mentor.

Choose to be celebrated in Christ not of the world..

(Jd. 16:23-31, Jam. 4:4, 1:27, 1Jh. 2:15, Joh 15:19)
