Bible Reading: Matthew 6:19-21
19. Lay not up for yourselves treasures upon earth, where moth and rust doth corrupt, and where thieves break through and steal:
20. But lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust doth corrupt, and where thieves do not break through nor steal:
21. For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also.
Memorise: “Wherefore, my beloved, as ye have always obeyed, not as in my presence only, but now much more in my absence, work out your own salvation with fear and trembling.” Philippians 2:12

How young people hustle to have followers on social media makes me wonder if it will add to the stars on their crowns or give them additional eternal rewards when this world passes away. I heard of a great sportsman of influence who had millions of followers on instagram but died in a plane crash last year. Only God knows where he is now but I can assure you that he is alone in his destiny; no fan, family member, friend, church member, or pastor accompanied him on that final journey of life.
Sometimes, you have to be unpopular so you wont get distracted from the right path. As a teenager, it is better that you develop thick muscles to praise or criticism of people especially on social media and focus on God.
Although its not good to be physically alone, its worse to be abandoned by God. Irrespective of the number of friends you may have, a fellow will still fail if separated from God. This is why you must value your relationship with God and be His friend so that in eternity you will be on a rollercoaster ride with Jesus.
Point: Use your social media platforms to preach about Jesus always

LET OTHERS SEE JESUS IN YOU
1. While passing through this
world of sin,
And others your
life shall view,
Be clean and pure
without, within,
Let others see Jesus in you.
CHORUS
Let others see Jesus in you,
Let others see Jesus in you;
Keep telling the story,
be faithful and true,
Let others see Jesus in you.
2. Your life’s a book before
their eyes,
They’re reading it through
and through;
Say, does it point them to the
skies,
Do others see Jesus in you?
3. What joy ’twill be at set of sun,
In mansions beyond the blue,
To find some souls
that you have won;
Let others see Jesus in you.
4. Then live for Christ both
day and night,
Be faithful, be brave, and true,
And lead the lost to life and light;
Let others see Jesus in you.
