Attending the Breakout Youth Fellowship Seminar

It’s actually been a while since I last attended a youth fellowship seminar; it’s good that it hasn’t changed much and everyone is still there to find a way on how to live a more purpose driven life. To add to that, Breakout was all about ‘freedom’, and from listening I realized just how misunderstood a concept this is. Freedom does not mean having the ability to do whatever you want to do or having no responsibilities or obligations, freedom is actually being free from shackles and sin, and being free to do right decisions.

 “Lies imprison but the truth gives freedom.”

The Pursuit of Liberty starts with knowing the truth, and with knowing you can be free from Satan’s deception. You will be able to resist Satan’s peer pressure and no longer feel inclined to do things that you know are wrong.

Next there is the Procurement of Liberty, where you confess your wrongdoings, repent, and wholeheartedly accept the truth. By believing we shall be set free; and from then we should choose to live that freedom in our daily lives.

Finally, there is the Proclamation of Liberty. It is not enough that you seek and acquire freedom; you should now spread the good news. We have a lot of work to do, so that the blind can finally see and the captives set free.


There is that gap that separates man and God, and that is the pit of sin. And the way to get across is not just through good works or religious activities, but by hearing, receiving and believing in Him.

“I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.” John 14:6
