Chairman Apostle Eric Nyamekye of The Church of Pentecost once made a profound statement: “The greatest gift and asset you have as a young person is your youthfulness.” This truth carries deep significance—youth is not just a phase of life but a divine gift, brimming with energy, potential, and opportunity.

It is in this vibrant season that life presents you with one of its most important questions: Why am I here? Youth is not meant to be wasted; it is a season of discovery, growth, and preparation for the great assignment God has placed on your life. This aligns perfectly with our theme for the year: “Unleashed to live a life worthy of your calling.”

To be unleashed means to break free from limitations, to rise above distractions, and to walk boldly in the purpose for which you were created. Your calling is not something to be figured out later in life—it begins now. Every decision, every opportunity, and every challenge in your youth is shaping the person you are becoming.

In my book, A CHARGE TO KEEP I HAVE, I emphasize that discovering and fulfilling your God-given assignment is the highest pursuit of life. Your youthful years are the foundation upon which your future is built. Hence, this is the time to seek God earnestly, develop your gifts, and make an impact that will last beyond your years.

So I challenge you today: Don’t let your youthfulness slip away without purpose. Use this season wisely. Ask yourself daily: Am I living a life worthy of my calling?
