Yellow Card (Warning Signal) - Part 1

Esther 1:10 – 12
On the seventh day, when the heart of the king was merry with wine, he commanded Mehuman, Biztha, Harbona, Bigtha, and Abagtha, Zethar, and Carcas, the seven chamberlains that served in the presence of Ahasuerus the king,  To bring Vashti the queen before the king with the crown royal, to shew the people and the princes her beauty: for she was fair to look on.  But the queen Vashti refused to come at the king's commandment by his chamberlains: therefore was the king very wroth, and his anger burned in him.

You are welcome to STRETCH YOUTH SUMMIT. In this month of September, we shall be looking into a topic the Holy Spirit has instructed me to teach through His Grace. Last Month (JULY), we looked into the issue of ‘THE FIGHT’ and the Lord was able to heal hurting hearts, and deal with certain issues we’ve over looked.

Praise God!

Today’s lecture is a continuation of last month seminar and if you were not around for the last seminar, kindly visit our blog www.hopeexpresionforum.blogspot.com.ng and search for “THE FIGHT” and read. 

Let’s go into the business of the day and may the Holy Spirit possess your heart with the truth of his word as we start in Jesus Name – Amen.

Who is Esther? Esther is the life style of God’s kingdom that expresses excellence, purpose discovery, respect, being polite, and Godly character. She is the type of personality that is subject to purpose discovery, preparation, guidance, and obedience. She is the type of personality that has God as her source. She is the type of personality that is always in turn of God’s plan per time, per season. She is the type of personality defined through God’s nature. She is the personality clothed with discipline in Righteousness. 

Esther is not representing the female gender alone; she represents both the male and female gender. These experience births the principle of purpose; whatsoever that does not, function according to the plan of God will be killed or destroyed. This is the season where this principle in God will begin to unfold.

Who is Queen Vashti? Queen Vashti is the personality of ignorance, carelessness, pride and disobedience. Funny enough, this is the kind of personality lots of men, and ladies in the church are having today. This kind of personality lacks the understanding of the times, and season of the operations of God in our lives. They take things for granted. These are the kind of people with shallow thoughts, and this kind of people lacks Godly character, and preparation through the word of God. These people are self-centered, and their lives are full of pride.

 Just like soccer, YELLOW CARD is a warning card given to a player whenever he commits a foul. In this journey of life and love – the Lord is giving a warning signal to His people. We have allowed ignorance to deceive us. The Grace of the our Lord Jesus Christ has now become an excuse for many youths, and teenagers to misbehave in their walk with God and in their relationship with the people around them (platonic & emotional). This is an error that must be corrected.

Life, love, salvation and dating is built with principles you must obey. If you fail to obey them, you will dance to the consequence of it. You can’t just talk to people as you like. You can’t just behave any how you like. You can’t do whatsoever that seems fit for you. There is a principle for you to follow and obey. There is a pattern to follow and this seminar is design for us to know this pattern.

On the seventh day…

I want to announce to you that we are in the season of perfection. The number seven in the prophetic symbolizes perfection. God is expecting His sons and daughter to grow into perfection. You must wake up from your laziness and move to work. If you think you still have time, you are joking. We are in the season of Grace and Grace is not the absent of discipline.

You can’t afford to keep living your life like you’ve always done before. This is the season where you must shift from what you want and embrace God’s design for your life. This is the season of living according to the capacity of God’s wisdom in you.

We are in the days of accuracy and this was the knowledge that Vashit lacked. Stay in touch with this season. Power has changed hand and God has a new demand on His sons and daughter; that demand is perfection. He is expecting you to grow into maturity. The Lord is expecting you to move from where you use to be and walk into where He wants you to be.  These are the days you must not keep overlooking an issues you need to deal with in your life. You can’t continue this way, if you really want to enjoy the Grace dwelling in this present season of perfection. It’s time for to shift into maturity. It is time for you to shift into perfection. It is time for you to improve, adjust and make major improvement you need to make in your life because this is the season of perfection. No lapses will be overlooked or ignored. 

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 ...

Youths and Emotional Boundaries

In today’s culture where emotions often lead and convictions take the backseat, many singles and youths find themselves entangled in relationships that slowly pull them away from God rather than draw them closer. It’s easy to get swept up in the excitement of romantic attention and companionship, but without clear spiritual boundaries, you may end up sacrificing your devotion, purity, and even your purpose. The truth is, who you allow into your heart can either fan the flame of your love for God or quietly quench it. Not every connection is meant to carry you forward in your spiritual journey. Some are weights, not wings. God has standards—not to restrict us, but to protect us. Maintaining spiritual boundaries means deciding ahead of time that your walk with God will not be compromised for temporary affection or unguided passion. It’s choosing prayer over pressure, purpose over pleasure, and worship over wandering emotions. When you begin to sense that a relationship is making you too ...

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...
