Read at least 2chapters of the Holy bible every day. ( I'll advice you'll start from Matthew to Revelation)..

Pray always ( in the morning before you step out and at night before you sleep)....

try fasting 2wice every week to train your spirit man....

never miss any opportunity to hear the word of God.

Lastly, be a chosen. There is a Chosen Campus fellowship in your school! Join Dem immediately

Correct. Move to the church.

And stop masturbating, unless it is to glorify your pastor and his ministry

Satan is watching.

I appreciate and applaud your desire to serve the Lord. But understand something here.

"No one can come to me unless the Father who sent me draws him; and I will raise him up at the last day" (John 6:44). Few verses after, Christ said again, "This is why I told you that no one can come to me unless it is granted him by the Father" (verse 65).

Understand that working in the service of God is in itself a GIFT- an appointment. Yes! It is what is commonly known as a "calling". Take a look at this analogy. In a country, the President or leader of the country calls- appoints- commissions those whom he wants to work with, never the other way round.

Here's the point. If you find yourself forcefully or grudgingly trying to please God, relax. No panicking; no worries. Go about your normal life, and try not to be like "John" who's actually a MOVER in your ministry. Note, it doesn't mean you should stop going to your church or stop praying, don't just try to be as fervent as others. And lastly, know that contrary to popular belief, today is not the only day for salvation. If God says He must called- draw you, before you can come to Him, wouldn't it be wise to wait for His call?

Your profound Post seems to indicate to me that you intend to draw closer to your Creator by pleasing Him and doing His will alone.

Your Lord will strengthen you and guide you onto that pleases Him if you earnestly accept below statement and say its continuously.

''My Our Lord is the Lord of the heavens and the earth and I will not call on any god besides Him, for then I would have spoken an outrage''

The import of this statement is that you intend to worship the God that created everything and you will ascribe no partner on to Him. Partners to God include associating God with wife, son of God or calling somebody God, like Jesus. In the Al-Qur an, God has forbidden Heaven for anybody who ascribe partner on to him.

Avoid bad associations and associate with ones who fear God. prov 13:20

Read and meditate on the scriptures day and night, and u ll be successful. Ps 1:1-3

Pray and SPECIFICALLY tell Jehovah the area you need help. 1jhn 5:14

Xten association is also important. heb 10:24,25. try this site for ur bible research. wol.jw.org

Your higher learning is less important than your relationship with God.
