WHAT WENT WRONG WITH OUR GENERATION?
You sneak out of the house without telling your parents just to be with your boyfriend . But when your pastor asks you why don’t you come choir practice, you will say your mother does not allow you go oo.
If you can sneak out of the house without permission, to see a man, read to be flogged when you are back, what is wrong if you sneak out of the house to go and look for God, instead when you come back, let them beat you.
An average girl sitting on the church pew today has over 2 stories of heartbreak she has suffered in the hands of guys they wasted their time and emotions on. Some will even show you wounds they got while dating some guys. But these same ladies will not tell you of any definite encounters they have had with Jesus since they have been in church. They will hardly show you any wound they have sustained in pursuit of God.
I grew up in a church where people bragged with how many times their parents flogged them anytime they come back from church. I saw a generation that left church every evening, knowing that they will not eat food for 2 days, because they disobeyed and came to church when they were told not to go to church again.
I saw a group of boys that would wake up very early in the morning, washing and cleaning up everywhere, so that they will make their masters happy, just to be allowed to follow others to street evangelism in the evenings.
Friends, a lot has gone wrong in our days. Satan gave us churches and stole our hunger for God. He gave us more pastors and prophets and took our zeal.
When was the last time you saw youths on rampage in your streets, for evangelism?. A generation that only see their youths when it’s time for picnic and don’t see them in times of evangelism has lost that generation.
There is something I saw when I was not born again that I am not seeing again in church now that I am born again. I don’t need much from God in my generation. I just want to be sure that if our fathers die today, there will still be a remnant that will raise a generation that will be able to stand the test of time.
The church used to be a military base where soldiers are bred. But today, we have turned it to pleasure park where members are entertained.
If they see you trekking to church for one month, the pastor will stand on his pulpit and preach that you are cursed that is why you have not bought your own car. If you are above 25 and not married, the pastor will climb his pulpit and say you are suffering from ancestral curse, that is why you are not married.
No wonder, you hardly see youths coming out to go for evangelism. Because everyone is looking for money, so as not to look cursed among the brethren. No wonder our unmarried sisters are growing more desperate and anxious about marriage. Even the one that just started seeing her period last year has also started fighting God to give her husband or she will die.
Lord, who will teach my generation to pray for souls? Where are men that will motivate this generation to seek first the Kingdom of God and it’s righteousness, then, other things shall be added unto them?
Please, raise men in our time that will teach this generation to hunger and thirst for your presence than the way they hunger and thirst for wedding ring and car keys. I want to see the scars you have gotten on your body because of Jesus, sir.
Sister, how many streets have they mocked you because of your zeal for the Master? All you have are stories of heartbreaks. How you did everything for Him and he dumped you.
When will you start telling us stories of how you are ransacking hostels and lecture rooms, preaching the gospel to your fellow students?
Few people are teaching this generation how to enter into the streets and win souls for God. Before our eyes, we are seeing a young generation in church that knows all the methods and ways to attract the right husband. But they don’t how to tell anyone in their hostels that JESUS LOVES YOU.
We must accept that we have not helped this generation. We are feeding them with junks that have no eternal nutrients. No wonder, more hearts are being broken. More relationships and marriages are damaging. The more we are patching (mending) the more it is leaking.
This is not the generation that can handle the fire when your fathers leaves this earth.
Please believe me, Christianity in my time is under attack. Not by Islam. Not by Communism. The quality of messages coming out from our pulpits today is a direct attack on God’s end time agenda.
When pastors only preaches the gospel of money, why are you suprised that we don’t have vibrant boys and girls in our churches that will bring out weekends to invade the nooks and crannies, looking for souls?
This is not the kind of messages they preached to me that made me leave the streets and followed Jesus. This is not what I heard that made me start going from one Secondary School to another preaching the gospel.
Where is that gospel I heard that made others looking for money to buy new shoes, while I will be looking for money to go to a nearby camp, to pay for a space to pray?
Not praying for money. Not even for good grades in school. But for the power of God.
If what your pastor is teaching you does not make you rise in anger and know that you have been far from God, he has not been telling you what will help you in our time.
Away with environments where hearts are not being stirred for the work of God. I don’t want to know a man that doesn’t have wounds for the Kingdom. If your love for God is still driving you to places you will get only miracles, you are still a child. This end time, God is raising men that will be looking for where they will be messed up for the sake of Jesus.
When I see an end time soldier, I Know. When I see men that will be used to replace men in our time, I Know. They might not be perfect yet. They might still be falling and rising today. But their undying passion for the work of God has already singled them out among their equals. Give them some time, you will see what God will make out of them.
In such a time when there are shortage of men, the God they serve continually will surely deliver them from the mouth of lions.
Sister, don’t just come church and shout Amen the way you used to do. Ask God to show you the street where you will go and preach after shouting Amen in church.
Don’t just sow seed and run away. Don’t just sing in choir and stop there. Don’t just write prayer topics and run back to your house. It is time to go extra miles for the Kingdom. It is time to preach in that same class. It is time to start preaching inside the bus again. If you don’t know how to start, start by leading in prayer.
From there, you will be gathering boldness. Refuse to sit down in any church where the only thing they motivate you to do is to sow seed to receive this and that. If the only assignment they give you in that church is to wake up in the midnight and pray and dance naked and speak to the moon and to the sun and this and that. Tying it up with painful seed. If that is all they have for you there, it is time to ask questions.
Your mates are already commanding the supernatural, while you are still doing ‘spiritual assignments’ just to win back the heart of a randy man that has followed another woman.
I wish you will have a man like some of us had it, that will tell you that what you sow into the womb of eternity today, in the place of sacrifice is what will determine your value on earth and in heaven.
I wish you will have a man of God over you, that will not just be telling you about how many cars he has and nations he has been to.
I wish you will stay under a man that will not stop checking up on your spiritual life, until you begin to manifest the power of God.
If they are after the record of your tithe and offering and don’t care about your spiritual life, you haven’t found your church yet.
Lord, help my generation.
