As the Church builds momentum towards this year’s National Youth Week Celebration, the theme, “Unleashed to Go and Tell,” continues to inspire deep reflection among young people across the nation.
The annual Youth Week Celebration remains one of the Church’s strategic tools for mentoring and empowering young people to contribute meaningfully to the mission of building God’s Church. It is also a deliberate effort to position the youth as active participants in the vision of Possessing the Nations by projecting Christ in every sphere of life.
In this season, the youth of The Church of Pentecost are reminded that they have been “unleashed,” like the first-century Church, to make Christ known to all nations. God is counting on the youth—you and I—just as He used Andrew, Paul, and other early believers to make a global impact.
The call to “Go and Tell” therefore requires complete obedience.
Obedience, in this context, means faithfully following the Lord’s command to proclaim the gospel, even when it conflicts with personal comfort, preferences, or fears. As Christian youth, we have been enlisted into God’s army and commissioned as His ambassadors to call others out of darkness into His marvellous light.
Being “Unleashed to Go and Tell” is not a mere slogan but a divine charge to make Jesus Christ known. This is a spiritual responsibility – the “soul business” of the Kingdom – and God has already equipped us with all we need to accomplish it.
True obedience demands full commitment. It calls us to take the gospel everywhere, from physical spaces to digital platforms, while relying completely on the Holy Spirit. Our weaknesses, fears, and excuses may attempt to hinder us, but as Scripture assures us, “God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power, love, and a sound mind” (2 Timothy 1:7).
This is a high calling, and it requires courage and faith. Like the Apostle Paul, we must boldly declare, “I am not ashamed of the gospel, because it is the power of God that brings salvation to everyone who believes: first to the Jew, then to the Gentile” (Romans 1:16, NIV).
Our message is simple and clear: Jesus Christ – the Saviour of the world, the Healer, and the soon-coming King. The world needs Jesus, and it is our responsibility to proclaim Him. As Scripture asks, “How can they believe in the one of whom they have not heard? And how can they hear without someone preaching to them?” (Romans 10:14, NIV).
Every Christian youth must therefore take this mandate seriously. Failing to tell others about Christ makes one a liability to both God and the Church. Let us embrace the mindset of Apostle Paul who said, “For if I preach the gospel, I have nothing to boast of, for necessity is laid upon me; yes, woe is me if I do not preach the gospel!” (1 Corinthians 9:16, NKJV).
For the burden of winning souls for Christ, let us arise in obedience to the call.
Hey Brother, Hey Sister, Go and tell!
