There is no way you can open a door to enter a place if you are not holding or using the right key. There is no way you can access God’s purpose for your life and get to the place of fulfillment if you neglect the key to life.

As a young person, you need these keys for you to get to your place of fulfillment. You need the keys in order for your journey in life to be smooth and pleasant. If you must be outstanding as a youth, if you know that you want to touch lives positively here on earth, you have to work with the right keys.

When you work with these keys, you can open the door to access anything you want and you can close the door against anything you do not want; with these keys, you can outrun your equals and overtake your superiors as a youth and young adult (Isaiah 22 vs 22, Revelation 3 vs 7, Matthew 16 vs 19).

Any youth that want to fulfill purpose and get to the place of God’s purpose for his/her life with the determination not to fade away in the scheme of things like King David and Prophet Daniel in the Bible must be ready to work with these following keys:

  1. The first key we will be talking about is the KEY OF GRATITUDE (Luke 17 vs 11-19).

Any heart that does not know how to appreciate is a wicked heart. There is a need for you to know how to appreciate little effort or gift as a young person. Learn how to say thank you because when you use the key of thank you (gratitude) always, many more great and perfect doors will be opened for you.

In the above Bible text, ten lepers were healed but it was only one out of the ten that got perfect healing all because he went back to Jesus Christ to say thank you. If you must outrun your equals and be outstanding as a youth, you must know how to say thank you for little and big gifts or efforts always (2 Timothy 3 vs 2).

  1. The second is the KEY OF CHARITY (Proverbs 19 vs 17, Matthew 19 vs 21, Luke 11 vs 41, and Mark 12 vs 33).

It does not take millions to give; it is what you have that you will give. That is, you may not be able to help everybody but do your best. This is because, when you give, it will open doors for you to receive.

Giving does not only mean money or material things. Giving (charity) encompasses your time, your cup of wisdom and helping others during their struggling moment. As a youth or young adult, you need to be deliberate about helping people around you because the people you do not help when going to the top may be those you need to help you bring something to the top later in life (Romans 13 vs 8-10, 1 Corinthians 13 vs 1-8, Hebrews 6 vs 10).

  1. The third key we will be looking at is the KEY OF CHARACTER.

There is this saying from where I am from that says “you can only help someone find a job but you cannot help that person to do or sustain the job.” That is, you can use your influence to get somebody’s appointment but the attitude and the character of the person will determine maybe the person will be able to maintain and sustain the appointment.

Attitude is everything. Your attitude or character as a youth or young adult will determine if you will get to the top. And if you get to the top, your attitude and character will determine if you will be able to maintain and sustain the achievement. You need to build good character because it is a virtue that you need in the journey of life.

  1. Another key to life is the KEY OF MENTORSHIP (2 Timothy 2 vs 2).

You need to work with people who have become masters in the field of what you want to do to put you through. Mentors will stir you beyond your normal level (1 Samuel 3 vs 1-12).

Many youths are not doing well today in their chosen career because they do not have mentors, they choose not to stand on the shoulders of others and they have forgotten that when one stand on the shoulder of a person, one will see beyond that person. If you must get to your place of purpose and fulfillment as a youth and young adult, you must work and walk in the knowledge and wisdom of the people that are ahead of you. You need to stand on the shoulders of others in order for you to see far and go far.

  1. KEY OF ENDURANCE is another very important key to life that we will look at (Ecclesiastes 7 vs 8, Romans 5 vs 3 - 5, Romans 15 vs 4, Hebrews 6 vs 12, and Revelation 3 vs 10).

A man who gives up easily will not fulfill destiny. You must be able to withstand a hard time; you must be able to endure difficult moments if you must achieve your goals in life.

No one with a great destiny is without greater challenge. Hard time is for a period and for a purpose; hard time is to build you up for a better place. Hard times never last, it is only hard people (that is, people that can endure) that do last. Hard time is just for a moment; your ability to endure a hard time will determine how you will enjoy the pleasure of the pleasant and comfortable moment.

  1. Another great key is the KEY OF PEOPLE.

One very important truth about life is that, there is nothing you can achieve in life without the impact or input of people or input of another person.

You cannot be better alone because you will be shouldering many responsibilities. The lifting of people around you is your lifting. Even God, our maker had to work with some group of people before He could achieve the creation of man (Genesis 1 vs 26). The Lord Jesus Christ also had to work with some set of people while He was here on earth before He could achieve His purpose on earth (Matthew 4 vs 18 - 22).

As a youth and young adult, you need to know that if you must fulfill God’s purpose for your life, you need to work with good people; you need good people around that will see to it that you are not a failure, people that will do all it takes positively for you to achieve your purpose and goals in life.

Having good people around you is another very important key to life that you have to ensure that you possess. You must identify those good people that God has sent your way as destiny helpers.

 

  1. KEY OF HOLINESS is another key to life that we will be looking into (Romans 12 vs 1, Exodus 19 vs 22, Leviticus 11 vs 44, and Ephesians 1 vs 4).

It is the desire of God that you and I have access to His throne, it is the heartbeat of God that you are a carrier of His divine presence in the journey of life but you have to be Holy, you have to live your life in Holiness before you can access His presence to enjoy all the blessings and benefits that are available for you.

God wants to pour out His Spirit into your life as a youth or young adult, God wants to use you as a great weapon and vessel in this end-time but He is calling for your Holy living. Holiness is a key to life that you need if you must succeed in life and also reign with God in heaven.

  1. The last key to life that we will be talking about today is the KEY OF PRAYER.

That song says. “Prayer is the key, Prayer is the key

                               Prayer is the master key

                               Jesus started with prayers

                              And ended with prayers

                              Prayer is the master key”

Prayer is a great key and a great weapon in the hand of a child of God. For you to make it in life and for you to sustain your greatness in life, you need prayer. You need to pray without season; as a matter of fact, you need to pray like no man’s business.

Whatever you want, you need to put it to God in prayer (Matthew 9 vs 38, Matthew 26 vs 41, Isaiah 55 vs 6, Matthew 7 vs 7-8, Psalm 6 vs 9, 1 Chronicles 4 vs 10). When you take away prayer out of a man’s life, such life will become a prey. Prayer is everything. Pray until something supernatural happens.

CONCLUSION: The ultimate key you can have in life is Jesus Christ the Savior. If you have all the keys mentioned above and you are lacking the key called Jesus, it means you still do not have the keys. The Bible says; Jesus is the way, the truth and the life. Another passage of the scripture says, a name has been given unto us that is above every other names, that in the name of Jesus, every knee should bow.

If you have not given your life to Jesus Christ as your Lord and savior, you are doing yourself great displeasure because whatever you want to achieve is in Jesus Christ.

Give your life to Him today, surrender it all to Him and see how He will help you to achieve your purpose and goals in life. Jesus loves you, Remain blessed as you allow Him into your life.
