There is nothing as hard as mentoring a teenager. But we are going to have fun. We are going to have fun. So he will be telling us more about him. He is here for Kevin Karibusana. Thank you. It's a blessing being here. We are honored with your presence. I said to the second you said it was the joy of the Lord. All right. How are you? So, I'm Kevin Kikorir. Pastor Kevin Kikorir. I'm born again. I am married to one wife. Who is a woman? It's always good to specify that. It's very important to clarify. Ya, so she's called Mimo or Margaret Kipkorir. Above it all I am a mentor. I am a leadership coach. And now I thank God. That's basically I'm a retired teacher. You are? Yes, I was a teacher for eight years. I was a teacher for eight years. Yes, I was a teacher for eight years. I taught for eight years. Once a teacher, only as a teacher. No, I don't know what to do with students. I don't know what to talk about. The calling is still there. It's really evident to you. So that's briefly about me. Eight years. For eight years you were a teacher. Then at what point did you go into ministry? I taught from 2011 to 2018. 2018 January actually. Is when 2017 God spoke to me three times. But I ignored. I totally ignored the call. Because I was wondering how am I going to survive. How is it going to be. And then I remember this specific day I was teaching a mathematics class. I was a mathematics teacher. So immediately in the midst of the lesson, that was 2018 in January, I remember very well. I felt that urge to teach has been lifted from me. And so I also troubled. And I went to tell my boss today, nime feel I have not delivered totally in this lesson. Then I feel this is what God is leading me to do. Then immediately my boss told me, I need your seasonal transition. I wanted you to obey God. Even they. So my boss knew. It was my seasonal transition. And it was you who was not here? Yes, I wasn't being obedient. So that's how I resigned from teaching in 2018. Then from then I've been in ministry. Actually I was in ministry before then. So now full time is actually from 2018 till dates. How was the journey be? I usually want to ask how was the journey be? The journey as Mosue and I began, it was not easy. Quitting from teaching a payroll and coming immediately into now. Aukoko payroll. It was a bit tough for me at first. I remember there was a specific month to li kulanga KDF na koko. A full month and it was tough. KDF na koko? Yes, I remember then God spoke to me trusting me and don't lean on your own understanding. Till then I've seen the goodness of the Lord. Hallelujah! I know it must have been so difficult for that decision. Niskeyanga mungu na jifunika Mimimimimimimimimimimimimimimimimimimimimima I'll come back but it's good that you have the voice of the Lord and you went into ministry. How is it working with teenagers now in which particular ministry and how has it been for you? Possibly I have a passion for teens. Majorly for a big part of my ministry life I have dealt with teenagers. That's now for almost close to 10 years dealing with teenagers only high schoolers. Mostly we preach in schools so I have dealt with them for yes close to 10 years and I can say the journey has been easy simply because teenagers need you to understand them. They basically need you to understand them. And once you understand them then you are able to deal with them. Because teens if you don't understand them you will keep on either feeling this people Ni kawana rada wa kutu. Ni wa ruwi. It simply takes you to understand them in order to deal with them. So to me it's been an exciting journey. Yes it's been an exciting journey dealing with teenagers. Right and I know you also do the high school mission. Yes it's part of the ministry that you do. Yes it's part of the ministry actually that we do. Hey after nineteen I just say mozaap. Say mozaap. And now today we are talking about holiday tips for students. Yes. Otomefunga two months, two and a half. Me I say it's three months. I know if you calculate naka two months but with me it's like three months. This is a long time. Yes yes. It's gone accounts for them. Wow. Yes. So first maybe you see being a young person you ought one day we ought to realize this that will not be young forever. True. That's that's it like we have only kwa few years ago. It's not the way you are right now. And the more we continue kuna vitu zina naka ziki change. So being a young person it's you have strength, you have the time, you have the ability to do what you're supposed to do right now. So basically my advice maybe I'll read this one scripture. Yes. It's coming from Eklashiasis chapter eleven versus nine. Yes. And it says something powerful. Young people it is wonderful to be young. It is. It is wonderful to be young. Enjoy every minute of it. Do everything you want to do. Take it all in. But remember that you must give an account to God for everything you do. So simply it says do all things. Una jokume kuile notion that you cannot enjoy in God. The Bible has acknowledged that you enjoy. But in the confines of there is a perimeter you're not supposed to cross. Because as a young person now time, time make a very time make it very critical. And if we are not able to use now the time wisely then we end up blundering. Because the Bible says talk over to Daniel. Talk over to Shadrach Meshakana Benegu. Talk over to David. These were people that were young just like you and me that are watching us today. But you want to realize one thing, one while you realize nini nini okunani hao. One because you have a purpose in you now because you have your purpose. You see if you realize what you carry then you become careful with whom you hang around with. Exactly. The Bible says bad company corrupts good morals. So right now that we are at home it is not everybody that you should hang around with. Because your destiny, the path of your destiny is only for you. And anytime you bring people, now that leads me to another thing. You see you can realize kiyonabeba then association ya ko inaku wa very critical. Because one you ought to understand this Miriam that association in a little impartation. So today if you work with three drunkards you become the fourth drunkard. That is automatic. You only attract the people of your kind. So right now I realize when I was a teacher, teachers invest a lot. They teach, they mentor, they do all that. But when we come home most of us don't realize one that kuna kitu precious nani eitu. You see if you realize you carry gold in you then you become careful to preserve that gold. Gold is very precious and that is our children of God. We are born of God. There is something divine that we carry in us. There is something unique that is inside us. So one this is this time just to rest. Time to rest. Rest is so key. As a young person take time to rest. But even as you rest know you are supposed to read. Rest and read. Rest and read. The third thing know you are supposed to reflect. What am I reflecting? I am only 12. Now you see when you ought to realize that to like destiny ako. If you don't look back to look at now what made me to be where I am right now. Some of them have closed school. Maybe the grills they got were not good or they were good. They have to reflect how a school been. What am I supposed to do to change? But I must say this, this is not time to recreate. Recreating meaning? This is not time to... Say amatubu leiko. Let me just say as it is. This is not time to sleep around. It is not time to sleep around. Because I normally say out here they are wolves that were waiting for those that were in school. People that were mejichunga or mejumisha usafi or mejumisha takatifu. But this is not time to recreate. I tried to scare teenage pregnancies. You remember during COVID that thing was just another thing. Yes. Because simply because wasewaku understand nini niwa na faafanya. It's really not time to recreate right now. This is really time to read, to rest, to read, to reflect. And just now restrategize what is next. Yes 2023 is around the corner. Yes. And because of the energy you have. Right now there is a camp, a ziko. There are concerts in Afanya. There are mentorships. Mentorship is powerful. Because if you cannot be under an authority then you can never be in authority. That's a fact. If you cannot be under command, you can never command. Simply like that. So it is only people that have been under others that when it comes you will not be a follower forever. But as a young person understand this you will not be a follower forever. There is a time you will be a leader and other people will follow you. And mark this. God is not mocked. What you saw you were real. So right now so the right seeds. So the right seed. Yes. And this burden doesn't fall on students alone. Yes. Parents have to play their part. Very true. Yes. This is the time where parents need to play to be very close with their children. With their children. I know they usually leave their children to school, to teachers where uta dili na mualimu. But this is a long holiday. I'm sure the crash program they used to have like one week holiday, 2 weeks, 2 weeks. Now the crash program is over. They have 2 months with their kids. Yes. Yes. What can you advise the parents? You see one as a parent you must understand this. I know tmambia wa tuwi. Msienda inje kuchesa. Don't go around with friends and all that. But we failed to realize tmewachia waldim zima kwaiki tu. Ah. Yes. The entire world is in this form. So you can say wem tuwi siyenda inje, but nix tmewachia. Nafu. Na kuna abs. Na kuna abs. Na kuna abs. Like kuna everything. Kuna tiktok. Call them all those kinds of everything. The social media and everything. Everything umewachia pa. So as a parent you have to understand that. The Bible says train up a child in the ways of the Lord. And training up a child one time is so critical with them. Remember, is your time yakwambia mtuwi. Yes you want chips. Take go buy. This time to spend time with them. By the way children need attention. As much as tu na nga nikawa ataki attention. One attack attention. Children need attention so much. And a lot of it. Very. The second thing as a parent be careful what you do around that child. One time I was handling this case. And I was handling this girl I mentor. And then she tells me. I don't have a problem. Obeying and loving my parents. But I can't trust them. I can't trust them. Simply because one. The environment yu mtuwi alikwa raised in. Aliona buddakia kichapa madaaki. Aliona mamakia kichibu buddakia. So aligro in a very hostile environment whereby. Aku kwa in a position to understand that. Yes indeed kuna. Kuna kuna atmos. You know. Our child grows up. Is simply pegged. On even the environment they are in. Create a conducive environment for this kid. As much as possible. Some of them wakiru di shule. They've left home has just. It's another. It's like hell. In chaotic it's hectic. It's very chaotic. No no. And when they come home. My advice to parents. Don't begin asking them fast. The first thing I'm a figure. Na uli sko ni ni. Like you know. Immediately kwa yu mtuwi alikwa me fail. Immediately u mem push. Cause we have to realize these. As much as they've done that exam. That's not the end of their destiny. There is something great still in them. And at times when you get them. Even before you ask them about results and everything. Get to spend time with them. And get to tell them. How are they doing. When they're in the leaje. How was school. All that. And I believe it's going to be an amazing one lady. Is your time ya kwa tumakwa aunty na uncle. Kuti. Spend time with your child. Take them for all the day. Kuti. Take them for all the day. Take them for all the day. Usi wu wa skumu kushago kwa aunty. Ulewa wushago. I was interacting with some teenagers. And they were like hi me. I messed up. My holiday is all messed up. How do I come back. You can speak to that teenager. So the Bible says. The rishis man may fall seven times. But he still comes up. The victory is not in the falling but in the rising. Nice. You want to realize that. The Bible does not say God loved the church. He said God loved the world. The same way God had that drunkard. Loves that drunkard. Is the same way he loves you. In fact God does not hate the scene now. He hates the scene. Oh. That's the difference. He doesn't hate you by the way. He hates the scene. He simply hates the scene. So if you're able to realize that you did this mistake. Go back to God and repentance is not saying. Brother God I'm sorry. And I'll not repeat again. Repentance is returning back. It's taking a U-turn. If you are going this way. You come this way. So they still hope. Know that God loves you. That is one thing that is so powerful. Know that God loves you. In spite of anything that you've done. The love of God is so great. That it covers this multitude of sins. Yes. Yes. We can clearly see the deep passion in you. Teenagers. Teenagers akapa tukuskise. They hold it and they quit. Yes. Yes. But time is not on our side. Yes. I know you'll be sharing the word today. And even praying with those that are doing the exam. Yes. Final. Just this one. Madam director this one. This one I was forgetting. Because I was sitting in the exam. Yes. Any advice for them? Joshua chapter 1 talks of Joshua when Moses had died. And God simply tells Joshua. He gives Joshua the assurance. You will have victory. But he tells them be strong and courageous. That's my word this morning. As you go to that exam be strong and courageous. What does it mean to be courageous? It means to be bold. It means to be fearless. Know that the victory is already assured. Simply meditate on the word of God. Daily. Don't let it depart from your mouth. But meditate on it day and night. Keep on confessing it. Keep on saying what God has said. If you are the head and not the tail. Keep on declaring that. I hope Mandika tips 1, 2, 3. If this is a massage that you can create. I can strategize. Reflect. And just being there. And also for the parents. Be there for your child. Create an environment for them to flourish. And you will be a blessing to this generation. By the way. They hear with their eyes. Not with their ears. Their eyes. So be very careful. Have that in mind. Pasta Kevin will be sharing with us the word today. But before that, how can people reach you?
