He asked the pastor to baptize him unknowingly to his mom…

12-year-old Rajon speaks with Pastor Grant about his decision to get baptized minutes before it occurs.

While many of us are still distracted by the media and negative news, God is still moving across the nations and touching lives. 

12-year-old Rajon appears to be the typical child in school. However many do not know that he has a calling on his life and God has already spoken the word over him. Rajon is a student at the Seventh Day Adventist School in Antigua and has always been a good student of the Bible. This is because he had a passion for God from a very young age; his mom Schandelle mentioned as she observes her son. 

Earlier in 2021, the school had a week of Prayer, and baptism was held. Rajon decided at that moment that he would get baptized but never got a chance to. The issue was then put on a halt until…

“One day I got home from work and he sat me down and asked me some very serious questions.” His mom explained. 

One such question he asked in a very pensive mood was: “Where would I go if God should come now?” 

He then gave a final comment to end the critical conversation with his mom: “Next chance I get I’m going to give my life to God!”

Months passed and there was no sign from Rajon about his decision. Until Sunday the 5th of September 2021 he indicated to his mom that he would like to see the pastor after church. 

“I had no clue what he wanted to tell the pastor until we got home.” His mom explained. 

Rajon informed her that he had told the pastor he had many opportunities to be baptized but didn’t so he is now ready to do it. 

His mom, being aware that he is young, was speechless and decided to check with him during the days leading up to his baptism date, in case he had any second thoughts but Rajon showed none. 

On Saturday the 11th of September 2021, Rajon took the bravest, most bold, and best step in His life. To be fully dedicated to God at the age of 12. 

-The age Jesus left his parents and stayed in the synagogue with the teachers, -the number of governmental authority! 

He even requested the song Something has to break by Kierra Sheard & Tasha Cobbs Leonard

Rajon has decided to put his complete trust in God and hopes to be an inspiration to other children like him. He is destined to do great things and now has the answer to his very pressing question: Where will I go if God comes now? Do you know? 

Young & Christian would like to congratulate Rajon for making the best decision of his life and pray that God will set him on the Narrow path of no return in Jesus' name! 

What does the Bible say about a loose tongue?

(Wisdom to consider the next time you get tempted to engage in useless chitter chatter )

The tongue has been deemed most powerful yet untamable! That little soft boneless piece of flesh that knocks on our teeth to give out sounds that is some how understood or misunderstood by many has quite the bit of power. 

We are taught that we can “speak things into being...” even The Four Agreements, for those who believe in it, speaks about being “impeccable with your words.” Or “making daily affirmations till they manifest. 

The Bible speaks a lot about the power of the tongue. Even in genesis God SAID “let there be...” and it became. 

Additional common scriptures that indicates the power of the tongue include: 

Proverbs 12:18 - "There is one whose rash words are like sword thrusts, but the tongue of the wise brings healing."

Proverbs 18:21 confirms this by saying, "Death and life are in the power of the tongue, and those who love it will eat its fruits."

Matthew 18:18, which proclaims, "Verily I say unto you, Whatsoever ye shall bind on earth shall be bound in heaven: and whatsoever ye shall loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven.”

So if the tongue has such high regard and apparent power why are we not more careful in the way we use it? 

Why aren’t we more intentional with the conversations we tend to be so quick to engage in? 

Or the words we speak over our lives? 

Consider the following verses as you make a decision about how to effectively use your tongue. 

The Bible says: 

Proverbs 13:3; “Whoever guards his mouth preserves his life; he who opens wide his lips comes to ruin."

Ephesians 4:29; "Let no corrupting talk come out of your mouths, but only such as is good for building up, as fits the occasion, that it may give grace to those who hear."

Proverbs 26:20; "Without wood, a fire will go out, and without gossip, quarreling will stop."

Matthew 12:36; "I tell you, on the day of judgment people will give account for every careless word they speak."

Matthew 12:37; "For by your words you will be justified, and by your words you will be condemned.”

Proverbs 29:20; "Do you see a man who is hasty in his words? There is more hope for a fool than for him."

Our words do not go into thin air and disappear, they go out and wait for us in the future. With that knowledge what steps can we take to ensure we do not fall victim to our own loose rumbling? Selah
