THINK OF YOUR GENERATION

-

Genesis 49:1,28

Then Jacob called together all his sons and said, “Gather around me, and I will tell you what will happen to each of you in the days to come.

These are the twelve tribes of Israel, and this is what their father said as he told his sons good-bye. He blessed each one with an appropriate message.


Do we understand that as a person we are a starting reference for a generation. Knowing this, we ask ourselves: What legacy have we built?


The choices we make, will definitely tell on our children born and unborn. Yes they can emancipate themselves, but they will first experience the stain.


Proverbs 22:1

Choose a good reputation over great riches; being held in high esteem is better than silver or gold.


The impoverish, immoral and corrupt society does not just occur, it emanates from the permitted wrongs of a generation. 


Hebrews 3:10

So I was angry with them, and I said, 

‘Their hearts always turn away from me. 

They refuse to do what I tell them.’


The same way a righteous, prosperous and godly society emanates from a disciplined and righteous generation.


1 Peter 2:9

But you are not like that, for you are a chosen people. You are royal priests, a holy nation, God’s very own possession. As a result, you can show others the goodness of God, for he called you out of the darkness into his wonderful light.


Will we be like Abraham entrusted with the mantle of faith, to teach his children the ways of the Lord or will our generation be the one that rebelled against God setting bad examples for the coming generations?


The choice is ours.


Jacob also prophesied of the coming of Christ as he blessed Judah.


Genesis 49:10

The scepter will not depart from Judah, nor the ruler’s staff from his descendants, 

until the coming of the one to whom it belongs, the one whom all nations will honor.


Again and again we see the revelation of the Messiah all over the record of the scriptures. May we continue to reveal Christ to those under our care and show forth His example to the whole world.


Our generation will please and praise the Lord.


We will win.


So help us Good Lord.


He calls us blessed.


Love

DO YOU STILL SEE?

-
Habakkuk 2:3 For the vision is yet for an appointed time; but at the end it will speak, and it will not lie. Though it tarries, wait for it; Because it will surely come, it will not tarry. It may have been easy when we first believed, to visualize the promises. We reach out with zeal, loving God, seeking to do exploits. That was when we first believed, just as Jesus said: John 3:3 Jesus answered and said to him, "Most assuredly, I say to you, unless one is born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God." When we become born again we see God's kingdom, our spirit man is reborn and we count the flesh as nothing. Then time passes by, we are in the world, all its distractions, temptations, responsibilities, challenges and so on begin to reveal themselves. The question then is: * Can we still see heaven? John 3:3 * Are we still zealous? John 2:17 * Are we continuing in those things? Acts 2:42 * Are we walking in love? 1John 4:7 or Has the cares and worries of life and service ta

DO UNTO OTHERS . . .

-
Matthew 7:12 "Therefore, whatever you want men to do to you, do also to them, for this is the Law and the Prophets. It is hypocritical of us to expect people to stand with us when we are experiencing challenges yet when we see others face their own challenges, we begin to imagine what they must have done wrong or maybe they annoyed God or did one evil or the other instead of reaching out to help as we would desire others to do for us. The same thing goes for prosperity, when the Lord opens a door for us and we have abundance of wealth or a breakthrough we expect others to rejoice with us, more so, some would even find it hard to give to others. What is our reaction when someone else gets this breakthrough, do we get suddenly suspicious without reason. Do we expect the person to reach out to us? It is better to stay on the side of encouragement than to sit as a judge or prosecutor. Jesus said, Matthew 7:2 "For with what judgment you judge, you will be judged; and with the same

MY YEAR OF FULFILMENT

-
Psalms 57:2 I cry out to God Most High, to God who will fulfill his purpose for me. We just finished the book of 1Samuel, in this book we see the cry of Israel for a king and how God raised Saul to rule them. We also saw how Saul disobeyed God and lost kingship for himself and his generation. He did not stop there, he went on to seek for the death of David, whom he saw as the next heir of the throne. In chapter 31, the last chapter, we see how Saul and all his sons and men were killed, it was tragic, however it was as a sign of relief for David. We could go on counting all the struggles and difficulties we faced in the past year. No, we should not, we should begin to look at all the positives, remembering all the good things God has done for us. If He promised it, He will do it and that is what we hold onto as we go through this year. Hebrews 10:23 Let us hold tightly without wavering to the hope we affirm, for God can be trusted to keep his promise. This is the year of fulfilment, and
