 TITLE : WIDE AWAKE 

TEXT:“Then Paul called one of the centurions unto him, and said,

Bring this young man unto the chief captain: for he hath a certain thing to tell him.” (Acts 23:17)

The youth in the above passage has a top secret security report for the chief captain. He happened to be privy of a secret plot by the Jews to murder Paul. He overheard the discussion and he knew Paul’s life was in danger. He did not keep quiet but acted promptly and decisively. He revealed the secret to the chief captain, and Paul’s life was spared. In the same vein, Mordecai saved the life of King Ahasuerus by revealing the assassination plot of two men. Even as a youth, you need to be wide awake. You may happen to know of a secret plot of other youths to cause mayhem or violent riot in the school or in the community. You may be aware of the plan of the street boys to perpetrate wickedness in the neighbourhood. Don`t hide the matter from appropriate authorities. But do that with counsel and wisdom.

• Challenge: Expose the hidden works of darkness
• Prayer:Lord, help me to be alert.
• Further Reading:Esther 6:1-3
• Quotation:Don`t hide the matter
