The Generational Blessing

In the midst of all that is going on around us, in the midst of our ministries, we make many decisions. The ultimate decision we make as we grow in wisdom is, will we invest our time and energies, into developing what we are building for this day, or will we seed the majority of our life into the next generation.

If we build for today, we may have man's praise in this day. If we build for today, we may have the blessing of those who live in the present. If however we seed most of our life into bringing the young into their righteous place, we will affect the coming generations, in a greater way.

Four is a qualifying number in the bible. For Eldership we look for:

Exd 18:21 Moreover thou shalt provide out of all the people 1)able men, 2)such as fear God, 3)men of truth, 4)hating covetousness; and place [such] over them, [to be] rulers of thousands, [and] rulers of hundreds, rulers of fifties, and rulers of tens:

These are the qualifying virtues of men who should be leading the church. According to gifting and call, they will be rulers of differing amounts of peoples.

This speaks of a process that they have gone through to reach maturity. In the older testament the young priests were required to wear their father's robes for seven days before they were allowed to minister.

Our nation is suffering greatly because an "out-of-order church" has promoted men beyond their preparation. The judgment of the boy teachers on the church has manifest accordingly, in the nation in the fact that a large number of young men hold positions that they do not have the wisdom for.

Let's here focus on the church. These young lads, in the church are not qualified for leadership. But they lead. Because of this the church has babies having babies, and perpetual immaturity is the result. Then of course the judgment that has hit the church goes on into the society.

We dare not preach that the world "repent", if we are not calling for the same in the church.

The blessing of God would go a thousand generations if the church would repent unto the kingdom. The first thing that must happen to bring repentance and power back to the church, is that the father's hearts must turn to the young.

I will deal with this subject in detail later.

For now our proclamation is: Lord come, Establish your kingdom in our hearts that we might be an ensample to the church and the world.
