FOOT PRINTS (Constitution of Love) - Part 1



Amos 3:3 Can two walk together except they agree.

You are welcome to STRETCH YOUTH SUMMIT. In this month of May, we shall be looking into a topic the Holy Spirit has instructed me to teach through His Grace. Last month (April), we looked into the issue of ‘DANCE WITH ME’ and the Lord was able to deal with certain issues we’ve over looked.

Praise God!

Today, from our text for this seminar, I want you to know that the ability to agree and walk with people is God’s intention and plan. This seminar is going to be the continuation of last month’s seminar (Dance with me).

Last month we discussed that we have being created to dance and dancing lies in every thing. Its God’s will for us to dance with the Holy Spirit, dance alone and dance with the people surrounding our lives. In this seminar, I will be using the terms of ‘dancing’ for ‘walking.’
Dancing according to the last seminar was all about how to dance with the Holy Spirit, how to dance with your self and how to dance with the people around you. In today seminar, we shall continue by making you to see that dancing is actually walking.
What is walking?

According to our case study in Amos 3:3 – You will understand that walking is all about cooperating, and teamwork. It requires a willful agreement on both sides.

Jesus is our standard and in his earthly ministry, his foot prints, he left behind for us to come and walk in. He was able to set a guide line for us to follow. This foot prints have become the constitution of love, every human in Christ must stick to if they must succeed in life. The constitution of love is the constitution of life because life without love is full of hurts and pain. In other to conquer pain and hurt, get the constitution of love (the foot prints of Jesus).

The Foot prints which serves as the constitution of love is not a thing or object but it is a lifestyle, or a system, operating as a person. This foot print can be seen in three dimensions which are as follows

-          My world
-          Your world.
-          Our world.

Talking about ‘world,’ I want you to see it as a method, a pattern or a system. Jesus dwell and operate in these three dimensions, leaving them for us as foot prints which is the constitution of love for believers in Christ. 

My World…

My world is what can be described as who I am and the system that runs in my life. This is a fixed reality through the intention of God for my life. My world is my life and every thing God has ordained for it to be. 

Just like we learnt in our last month seminar (dance with me), my world is all about my song. In a clear tense, my world is all about my purpose, my calling, my vision and my assignment in Christ Jesus.

My world is all about my talent, my skills, my ideas and how God has designed them to function. My world is my world because it is different from every other world. It is not different in nature but it is different in system or rhythm. That is to say, I’m human living among my fellow human but I function in a specific unique way (according to the expectation of God).

My world is who I am in Christ. My world is the kind of knowledge the Holy Spirit reveals to me. My world is the kind of understanding and wisdom the Holy Spirit permits me to access. My world is the nature of my character, my mind-set and my manner of approach.

My world is how God has designed me to function and this is attached to the intention of God for my life. I can’t just live, talk and do things like every body. I was not created by God to be every thing, be every where and do every thing. God created me to be a specific personality and I have my limitations. My limitation is dictated by his purpose for creating me.

My world is the platform for the expression of God’s plan for my life. Is the place where every prophecy, vision and dreams ordained by God comes to reality. This is a place where God relates with me personally according to his personal interest for my life.

Jesus had his own world and before he started his ministry, he found where it was written about his world contains and what should be expected from his world. He read and I quote; the Spirit of the Lord is upon ME for he has anointed ME to preach the Gospel. That scripture was about him and him alone. That is his world. Other people can behave different and go free but as for him, he is bond by that statement because that is what God has ordained for his life.

My world is a system God has programmed to be FRAMED through this scripture. My world is the REVELATIONAL TRUTH about me and my existence. My world is who I am and who I am is the function of what I have discovered in the scriptures about my life. My world is who the word of God reveals me to be.

To Be continued...

Your Life, Relationships, and Resources Belong to God

Stewardship is more than managing money; it’s about recognizing that everything you are and everything you have belongs to God. Your life, time, relationships, and even your emotions are divine trusts, not personal possessions. Psalm 24:1 reminds us, “The earth is the Lord’s, and everything in it, the world, and all who live in it.” When you understand this truth as a youth, it changes how you make choices, treat people, and handle opportunities. In dating and relationships, stewardship means honoring God with your heart and choices. You don’t date to fill loneliness; you date to reflect purpose. Your emotions should be guided by wisdom, not impulse. When you see your partner as someone God trusts you to treat with dignity, purity, and patience, your approach changes. You begin to love responsibly and communicate with respect, knowing you’ll give an account for how you handle another person’s heart. For singles, stewardship includes how you use your time and gifts while waiting. Every ...

HOW TO UNDERSTAND SEXUAL VALUES

Sexual value in a relationship is the discipline and purity you uphold concerning your body and desires. What is sexual value? It is the standard you place on how you honor God with your sexuality. Why is this important? Because sex is not just a physical act; it is a spiritual covenant designed for marriage. Who should care about sexual values? Both singles and those dating, because disregarding God’s design in this area can leave scars, regrets, and unnecessary baggage. 1 Thessalonians 4:3 reminds us, “It is God’s will that you should be sanctified: that you should avoid sexual immorality.” How do you build sexual value? By setting boundaries, avoiding compromising environments, and renewing your mind with God’s Word. When do you start? Now, not when you are engaged or married, because self-control is practiced long before the wedding day. Where does this apply? In how you relate with the opposite sex, the conversations you entertain, the media you consume, and the spaces you allow y...

HOW TO UNDERSTAND PHYSICAL VALUES

Physical value in a relationship goes beyond appearance; it speaks of health, care, presentation, and discipline. What you invest in your body reflects how you value yourself and the person you are with. Why should this matter? Because your body is the temple of the Holy Spirit (1 Corinthians 6:19-20). Neglecting your physical well-being shows a lack of regard not just for yourself but for the one who will share life with you. Think about it—if you do not take care of yourself, how will you have the strength, energy, and confidence to walk through life with someone else? How you maintain physical value is through consistent healthy habits—eating well, exercising, grooming, and dressing with respect. Who should this concern? Both men and women. The lie many believe is that only women should look attractive or men should only focus on money, but both genders have a responsibility to maintain physical value. When do you start? Not when you finally meet the person you want to marry but now...
