MESSAGE:
One of the problems we have in Africa is that we would rather consume than produce Production requires skills, and many people lack them in today’s society. They would rather study in universities and work in big companies, and while that is good, it is also good to acquire a skill.

My dear child, you are the future of whichever country you are based in. Thus, don’t rely on academics alone; learn something new. If there is any skill that you are genuinely interested in, pray about it, talk to your parents, and enrol for it whenever you’re on holiday.
In 2022, the federal universities in Nigeria were shut for months because of a lengthy strike. Many young people learnt skills such as baking, tailoring, social media marketing, et cetera and started earning money before the strike ended. Don’t waste any holiday lying idle, surfing the internet, or visiting friends; use your holiday wisely by learning valuable skills that you wouldn’t ordinarily learn in a classroom.
ACTION POINT
Talk to your parents or a guardian about a skill that you would like to learn today.
BIBLE IN ONE YEAR
Isaiah 39:1-41:16 Ephesians 1:1-23
HYMN 26: There Shall Be Showers Of Blessings
1.There shall be showers of blessing:
This is the promise of love;
There shall be seasons refreshing,
Sent from the Savior above.
Refrain:
Showers of blessing,
Showers of blessing we need:
Mercy-drops round us are falling,
But for the showers we plead.
2 There shall be showers of blessing,
Precious reviving again;
Over the hills and the valleys,
Sound of abundance of rain. [Refrain]
3 There shall be showers of blessing:
Send them upon us, O Lord;
Grant to us now a refreshing,
Come and now honor Thy Word. [Refrain]
4 There shall be showers of blessing:
Oh, that today they might fall,
Now as to God we’re confessing,
Now as on Jesus we call! [Refrain]
