We hope that this podcast 4 00:00:16.160 --> 00:00:22.079 finds you in good shape. And now here's your message. 5 00:00:22.480 --> 00:00:24.519 The first time that I saw Pastor Dennis, he was 6 00:00:25.199 --> 00:00:28.399 you've pastor back then. He preached there something very powerful 7 00:00:29.039 --> 00:00:33.079 about Jesus the gospel. And I'm forever thankful for men 8 00:00:33.159 --> 00:00:36.280 for leaders who are there who guided us, specially when 9 00:00:36.320 --> 00:00:38.600 I was young. Yes, this is the last week of 10 00:00:38.719 --> 00:00:43.439 our campus Sunday and we have this series called Generationship. Basically, 11 00:00:43.520 --> 00:00:46.759 what we want is we want to reguard this culture 12 00:00:46.840 --> 00:00:51.240 of multi generational relationships. Now, why is this so important, 13 00:00:51.399 --> 00:00:53.759 especially in our church. You see, we live in a 14 00:00:53.799 --> 00:00:57.439 world we're in. It's so or it's easier to cluster 15 00:00:57.600 --> 00:01:02.600 together according to your beliefs or your manga healing or 16 00:01:02.640 --> 00:01:09.000 your manga like minded Nesna and Masdeling mag clustered together. Now. 17 00:01:09.239 --> 00:01:12.640 As much as social media was built to create or 18 00:01:12.680 --> 00:01:15.840 to connect with other people, the negative side of this, 19 00:01:15.959 --> 00:01:18.280 as we can see, is so it's so easy now 20 00:01:18.359 --> 00:01:26.680 to cancel out other peoples. It's so it's natural. It's 21 00:01:26.719 --> 00:01:30.280 easier in our world today to connect with certain people 22 00:01:30.319 --> 00:01:33.760 that we are we have common interests with and cancel 23 00:01:33.760 --> 00:01:37.760 out other people. And especially when it comes to generations 24 00:01:38.040 --> 00:01:44.560 no generation ibayumana previous generations. It's a generation that man 25 00:01:44.719 --> 00:01:47.400 and even with the generation that's after me, those who 26 00:01:47.439 --> 00:01:53.959 are youngerma sama. In fact, one one common thing makitaat 27 00:01:54.000 --> 00:01:57.079 and is the way young people use language. You know 28 00:01:57.239 --> 00:01:59.040 a couple of I think it was it was a 29 00:01:59.079 --> 00:02:03.560 month ago. We we did something our in our Instagram 30 00:02:03.560 --> 00:02:07.040 account in Every Nation campus green Hills. We had a 31 00:02:07.079 --> 00:02:11.120 couple of students who gathered all of their campus missionaries 32 00:02:11.919 --> 00:02:18.759 and then they said, the word does carps Yeah, c 33 00:02:19.000 --> 00:02:25.840 A r p s carps, paras and Millennia mels animes, 34 00:02:25.879 --> 00:02:31.719 I see magic carp That's not what it means. Carps 35 00:02:32.000 --> 00:02:36.560 is a shortened version or shortened version of the word carpet. 36 00:02:37.400 --> 00:02:41.159 Now see no name non rug at spelling rug I 37 00:02:41.599 --> 00:02:49.120 r u G. So in short, are you game jiaba readyava? 38 00:02:49.599 --> 00:02:52.120 Are you g? And I was like and we were 39 00:02:52.159 --> 00:02:57.560 like difference. More of that video you can follow our 40 00:02:57.599 --> 00:03:00.800 Every Nation campus green Hills. But that's just one example 41 00:03:00.879 --> 00:03:04.199 of the differences we have with other generations with the 42 00:03:04.240 --> 00:03:08.479 generation gap. Now here's the thing. Whatever the differences are, 43 00:03:09.000 --> 00:03:12.159 here's one thing that I am sure off. The next 44 00:03:12.199 --> 00:03:19.439 generation needs preparing. They do okayes happen, So they need preparing, 45 00:03:19.680 --> 00:03:23.879 preparing for life, preparing for the future, preparing to process things, 46 00:03:23.919 --> 00:03:27.639 preparing for the things to come. This needs to happen. 47 00:03:28.000 --> 00:03:32.800 The question is who does the preparing? So let's not okay, 48 00:03:32.879 --> 00:03:35.319 let's try to be more specific. Let's not think about 49 00:03:35.319 --> 00:03:38.560 other young people. First one us a church, not in 50 00:03:38.879 --> 00:03:44.759 who prepares our next generation? The world or the church? 51 00:03:45.960 --> 00:03:49.039 And if our answer is the church, how do we 52 00:03:49.199 --> 00:03:53.360 properly prepare them and transition them properly so that when 53 00:03:53.599 --> 00:03:57.280 it's their time right now to lead and to take 54 00:03:57.319 --> 00:04:01.280 hold of our society, they will lead. Well, that's what 55 00:04:01.280 --> 00:04:04.000 we're going to look at today. We're going to look 56 00:04:04.039 --> 00:04:06.800 at last week, we looked at that transition from Saul 57 00:04:06.919 --> 00:04:12.360 to David. Maymailam positive but predominantly negative transition from Saul 58 00:04:12.400 --> 00:04:15.879 to David. Now we're going to see how David transitioned 59 00:04:15.960 --> 00:04:19.600 his kingdom or the kingdom of Israel, to his son Solomon. 60 00:04:19.759 --> 00:04:22.759 We're going to start off by looking at First Chronicles 61 00:04:22.800 --> 00:04:27.879 twenty two, verse five. It says here for David said Solomon, 62 00:04:28.000 --> 00:04:31.399 my son is young and inexperienced, and the house that 63 00:04:31.480 --> 00:04:34.120 is to be built for the Lord must be exceedingly 64 00:04:34.199 --> 00:04:38.160 magnificent of fame and glory throughout all lands. I will 65 00:04:38.160 --> 00:04:42.959 therefore make preparation for it. You see when we read this, 66 00:04:43.600 --> 00:04:46.240 there's a framework here, and I think when it comes 67 00:04:46.279 --> 00:04:49.439 to reaching the next generation two, there is a big 68 00:04:49.519 --> 00:04:55.439 task sabidi David ditoino. There is this exceedingly magnificent house, 69 00:04:55.480 --> 00:04:58.120 and it's not my house, It's the house of the Lord. 70 00:04:58.519 --> 00:05:02.160 There is a big task. This task is not for us, 71 00:05:02.160 --> 00:05:05.800 for our generation success, for the next generation success. It's 72 00:05:05.920 --> 00:05:08.360 more than that. It's for the glory of God. There 73 00:05:08.439 --> 00:05:11.240 is a big task. We need to see that. I 74 00:05:11.279 --> 00:05:13.639 want all of us here to see the task of 75 00:05:13.759 --> 00:05:17.319 preparing the next generation as a God or dain task. 76 00:05:17.959 --> 00:05:21.079 There is a big task, and there is a gap. 77 00:05:21.920 --> 00:05:29.600 My gapy, my pullings a lieo. Hey, Solomon is young 78 00:05:29.720 --> 00:05:34.480 and inexperience. And how did David respond. Did David say, hey, 79 00:05:34.480 --> 00:05:40.279 Noaja now hopeless case? What did he say? He made preparations. 80 00:05:40.480 --> 00:05:43.639 We are going to look at a key some key 81 00:05:43.720 --> 00:05:48.439 principles and how David prepared Solomon, specifically towards the latter 82 00:05:48.759 --> 00:05:54.519 years of David. It's found in First Chronicles twenty eight. 83 00:05:55.199 --> 00:05:57.199 Before but before we go there, let me just pray 84 00:05:57.240 --> 00:06:00.639 for all of us here Lloyd already our hearts. I pray, 85 00:06:00.680 --> 00:06:04.439 and I asked spirit of humility and unity to come 86 00:06:04.560 --> 00:06:07.480 upon us, Lord Lord, that we would learn to humble 87 00:06:07.480 --> 00:06:11.639 ourselves before you, that we would humble ourselves with each other, 88 00:06:11.879 --> 00:06:15.199 and that we will pursue unity in the spirit in 89 00:06:15.319 --> 00:06:19.040 Jesus' name, Amen and Amen. What can we see here? 90 00:06:19.439 --> 00:06:23.120 In First Chronicles twenty eight it says here and David 91 00:06:23.240 --> 00:06:28.720 assembled at Jerusalem all the officials of Israel, the officials 92 00:06:28.759 --> 00:06:31.240 of the tribes, the officers with the divisions that serve 93 00:06:31.319 --> 00:06:35.879 the king, and all the seasoned wires Madami personal inassembled, 94 00:06:36.120 --> 00:06:39.879 all the mighty men and the seasoned wires. What can 95 00:06:39.920 --> 00:06:43.920 we see here at the very start towards the latter 96 00:06:44.040 --> 00:06:47.160 years of David, when he was preparing to transition his 97 00:06:47.399 --> 00:06:52.160 kingdom to Solomon, is that he involved the community. My 98 00:06:52.319 --> 00:06:56.800 involvement in community and why is this so important? You see? 99 00:06:56.920 --> 00:07:00.439 What's notable with David is ever since he was young, 100 00:07:01.000 --> 00:07:06.600 he has always been surrounded by people. Sere Samuel and 101 00:07:06.680 --> 00:07:09.600 then he's mighty men, there's Nathan and he has an 102 00:07:09.639 --> 00:07:12.560 amazing team. And now when it comes to transitioning the 103 00:07:12.639 --> 00:07:16.199 kingdom to Solomon, he did it as well. He looked 104 00:07:16.240 --> 00:07:21.439 for a community people around him. Amazing. When it comes 105 00:07:21.480 --> 00:07:25.240 to preparing Solomon, he didn't do it alone. And we 106 00:07:25.319 --> 00:07:28.879 know we've heard this called la baby education seva. It 107 00:07:29.040 --> 00:07:32.439 takes a village to raise a child. And it's true. 108 00:07:32.839 --> 00:07:36.800 We don't have to be isolated or abdicate this road 109 00:07:36.800 --> 00:07:41.120 to other people. We need more people around us. And 110 00:07:41.160 --> 00:07:44.040 I pray and my prayer is the church community around 111 00:07:44.120 --> 00:07:47.360 us to help us raise a child. You know. On 112 00:07:47.399 --> 00:07:50.000 a personal note, that's how I think I was raised, 113 00:07:50.000 --> 00:07:53.839 even as a student, I have people around me, mothers 114 00:07:53.920 --> 00:07:59.319 and fathers and kuyas attes, titos, titas of Manila and 115 00:07:59.399 --> 00:08:03.920 really who were with me and raising me up. And 116 00:08:04.079 --> 00:08:06.920 you know, the sad part about this whole pandemic is 117 00:08:07.319 --> 00:08:10.160 it's so it's easier right now to isolate. It's easier 118 00:08:10.240 --> 00:08:12.519 right now to you know, let's just come in together 119 00:08:12.600 --> 00:08:14.879 in fact bag and we miss that many. I have 120 00:08:15.000 --> 00:08:18.279 your picture of Jedi and real hey, the son of 121 00:08:18.399 --> 00:08:21.199 Pastor Allen and Atti Glenda. You know there's a joke. 122 00:08:21.639 --> 00:08:24.800 We would leave Jedi with them so that we could 123 00:08:24.879 --> 00:08:29.480 date communicate. You know, Joo Alan Jedai Kunasan you orange 124 00:08:29.720 --> 00:08:33.360 still Alan when when Jedi goes there, he goes straight 125 00:08:33.440 --> 00:08:37.480 to the refrigerator and gets food. Why am I saying 126 00:08:37.559 --> 00:08:42.320 this because it INDI is a family and my prayer 127 00:08:42.480 --> 00:08:46.759 is right now. Most probably we can't do that, Persanam 128 00:08:46.840 --> 00:08:55.600 Karnaina this and community makeshi. I don't know how it 129 00:08:55.879 --> 00:08:58.960 how we would translate that to our time today. But 130 00:08:59.120 --> 00:09:02.799 the principle there we need the involvement of the community. Now, 131 00:09:02.840 --> 00:09:05.480 it doesn't end there. In verse two, it says here 132 00:09:05.600 --> 00:09:08.320 then King David rose to his feet and said, hear me, 133 00:09:08.440 --> 00:09:10.799 my brothers and my people. I had it in my 134 00:09:10.960 --> 00:09:13.200 heart to build the house of rest for the ark 135 00:09:13.240 --> 00:09:15.799 of the covenant of the Lord, and for the footstool 136 00:09:15.799 --> 00:09:19.120 of our God. And I made preparations for the building. 137 00:09:19.559 --> 00:09:21.519 But God said to me, you may not build a 138 00:09:21.559 --> 00:09:23.519 house for my name, for you are a man of 139 00:09:23.600 --> 00:09:26.360 war and you have shed blood. What can we see here? 140 00:09:27.039 --> 00:09:29.559 What we see here is that David was sharing his 141 00:09:29.759 --> 00:09:35.200 big vision. Why is this important? You know, David's ultimate dream, 142 00:09:35.679 --> 00:09:39.200 even to the latter years of his life, is still 143 00:09:39.480 --> 00:09:45.000 to honor and glorify God, Yumbata. Last week you sabin 144 00:09:45.039 --> 00:09:48.440 A zinotongunam Babas was the honor at gloryy God. And 145 00:09:48.559 --> 00:09:50.639 now towards the end of his life, he was sharing 146 00:09:50.720 --> 00:09:53.039 the vision I want to honor God. I want to 147 00:09:53.120 --> 00:09:55.840 build something for God. I want to I want to 148 00:09:55.919 --> 00:09:59.120 do this for God. And this big vision is so 149 00:09:59.360 --> 00:10:03.679 tied up with a heart of worship and with his faith. Question, 150 00:10:04.639 --> 00:10:08.120 does our kids or the next generation still see to 151 00:10:08.320 --> 00:10:12.720 us the current generation twenty five years old and above? Okay, 152 00:10:13.240 --> 00:10:19.080 do they still see us dream big dreams? Do we 153 00:10:19.360 --> 00:10:24.000 still communicate this big vision we got from God Kumba parag? 154 00:10:24.440 --> 00:10:28.159 Do they still see us tackle big things by faith? 155 00:10:28.799 --> 00:10:33.639 Do they hear us still dream and trust? God naps 156 00:10:34.039 --> 00:10:38.559 your attitude of faith? What else? In verse nine, it 157 00:10:38.639 --> 00:10:43.279 says here and you, Solomon, my son, know the God 158 00:10:43.360 --> 00:10:45.600 of your father, and survey it with the whole heart 159 00:10:45.679 --> 00:10:48.279 and with a willing mind. For the Lord searches all 160 00:10:48.399 --> 00:10:52.159 hearts and understands every plan and thought. If you seek him, 161 00:10:52.600 --> 00:10:54.759 he will be found by you, but if you forsake him, 162 00:10:55.080 --> 00:10:58.000 he will cast you off forever. Be careful now for 163 00:10:58.159 --> 00:11:01.440 the Lord that's chosen you to the house for the sanctuary. 164 00:11:01.879 --> 00:11:06.879 Be strong and do it. David was issuing a challenge 165 00:11:07.000 --> 00:11:12.399 and a warning Watahota to challenge the next generation and 166 00:11:13.240 --> 00:11:16.519 to warn them. Also, he was challenging the next generation. 167 00:11:16.759 --> 00:11:19.720 Do it. It's a big task. Be strong, and I 168 00:11:19.799 --> 00:11:24.080 want to warn you seek him. If you don't, you 169 00:11:24.200 --> 00:11:27.919 will experience hardships and life them so brung it up 170 00:11:28.360 --> 00:11:31.240 because you're standing against the will of God. Let us 171 00:11:31.399 --> 00:11:34.559 not be afraid to challenge and warn the next generation. 172 00:11:35.000 --> 00:11:39.080 My consequence on Casalhanan. But let's just not focus on 173 00:11:39.120 --> 00:11:43.559 the warning, but challenge them for godliness and righteousness, which 174 00:11:43.720 --> 00:11:46.600 leads me to this a mejicy Milarno. In verse twenty, 175 00:11:47.399 --> 00:11:50.080 it says here then David said the Solomon his song, 176 00:11:50.679 --> 00:11:53.840 be strong and courageous and do it. Do not be afraid, 177 00:11:53.919 --> 00:11:57.679 and do not be dismayed. For the Lord God, even 178 00:11:57.879 --> 00:12:00.559 my God, is with you. He will not leave you 179 00:12:00.919 --> 00:12:03.360 or forsake you until all the work of the service 180 00:12:03.440 --> 00:12:07.039 of the House of the Lord is finished. Wow. Could 181 00:12:07.080 --> 00:12:12.480 you imagine that David was encouraging the next generation, encouraging 182 00:12:12.960 --> 00:12:17.039 you know, it's amazing how young people can do big 183 00:12:17.399 --> 00:12:22.279 things just because someone encouraged them and guided them. It's 184 00:12:22.399 --> 00:12:27.519 amazing how their potential will be unleashed, the things that 185 00:12:27.600 --> 00:12:30.879 they could do when there is someone who would encourage them. 186 00:12:31.159 --> 00:12:33.720 You know, I have here a picture of some people 187 00:12:34.080 --> 00:12:41.440 who help me. That's the Toboni Tastella Coya, marlont Emila 188 00:12:41.799 --> 00:12:47.720 Yumassa and Augustine tita Emi. Different generations, different families, different background, 189 00:12:48.120 --> 00:12:51.879 but at one point in my life they gave encouragement. 190 00:12:54.039 --> 00:12:59.759 Again Christiano to hear negative trash words, but it takes faith, 191 00:13:00.559 --> 00:13:04.679 it takes conviction, it takes the spirit of God. It 192 00:13:04.840 --> 00:13:08.080 takes us when we experience God, to say it and 193 00:13:08.240 --> 00:13:11.639 encourage it to the next generation. I'm thankful for these 194 00:13:11.759 --> 00:13:14.960 people and for every one of us heroes watching who 195 00:13:15.840 --> 00:13:20.039 has an experience of someone, maybe older in the faith 196 00:13:20.200 --> 00:13:23.879 or maybe older in terms of age, who has encouraged you. 197 00:13:24.200 --> 00:13:29.039 My plea for you is this, encourage the next generation 198 00:13:29.200 --> 00:13:37.279 also overcome But to some next generation. No, if we've 199 00:13:37.360 --> 00:13:42.080 overcome it, let's let's quote unquot it forward, be encouraging 200 00:13:42.200 --> 00:13:46.240 other people as well. Speak into their life, to look 201 00:13:46.519 --> 00:13:49.600 at the purposes of God instead of the current situation, 202 00:13:50.320 --> 00:13:54.159 To look at the will of God in that person's life, 203 00:13:54.240 --> 00:13:58.080 to have eyes of faith instead of just looking at 204 00:13:58.080 --> 00:14:05.240 the current situation. Not in the picture. Remember Jason lo allays, Jason, 205 00:14:06.399 --> 00:14:09.320 I would remember when I was I think one year 206 00:14:09.360 --> 00:14:12.120 after I graduated, he would come to me and he 207 00:14:12.200 --> 00:14:15.559 would say, Bro, you are going to speak. You don't 208 00:14:15.559 --> 00:14:18.080 see it out, but you will. You will preach, you 209 00:14:18.120 --> 00:14:26.120 will talk. And every time he would see me, he 210 00:14:26.159 --> 00:14:28.720 would say that, Bro, you're going to speak, You're going 211 00:14:28.799 --> 00:14:34.399 to lead. Okay, it is slowly those words bearing the fruit. 212 00:14:35.120 --> 00:14:40.440 I'm thankful for those people, Madam. I believe right now 213 00:14:40.519 --> 00:14:43.960 there are big dreams in the hearts of our students. 214 00:14:44.039 --> 00:14:47.879 They just need someone to call it out. I also 215 00:14:48.000 --> 00:14:52.879 believe that some of our students don't know what God 216 00:14:53.000 --> 00:14:55.600 has for them, and someone has to call it out. 217 00:14:56.440 --> 00:15:01.399 Let us encourage them as well. And in chapter twenty nine, 218 00:15:01.559 --> 00:15:05.279 verse two, what else can we see here? So I 219 00:15:05.360 --> 00:15:08.399 have provided for the house of my God, so far 220 00:15:08.519 --> 00:15:11.279 as I was able, the gold of the things of gold, 221 00:15:11.399 --> 00:15:15.279 the silver for the things of silver. And then David 222 00:15:15.360 --> 00:15:18.600 would say, all the other valuable things and all sorts 223 00:15:18.600 --> 00:15:21.360 of precious stones and marbles. What can we see here? 224 00:15:21.960 --> 00:15:24.200 What we see here is we prepare the next generation 225 00:15:24.320 --> 00:15:28.639 by making provisions for them material financial. Now, I wouldn't 226 00:15:28.679 --> 00:15:33.080 dwell much here compared to the other principles because pacinabinat 227 00:15:33.120 --> 00:15:37.879 in preparing the next generation dibot in terms of finances, 228 00:15:38.440 --> 00:15:43.000 we have parents and apaka InKo my bubon my damit 229 00:15:43.159 --> 00:15:46.759 na go out in part coo. Now it's true, this 230 00:15:47.000 --> 00:15:49.879 is so important. In fact, all the things that I'll 231 00:15:49.919 --> 00:15:53.840 be sharing right now, there are only two physical tangible 232 00:15:54.000 --> 00:15:59.799 things NAMAI the community and a couple of provisions. Now, 233 00:16:01.480 --> 00:16:03.840 there's so many things that can be said here ninety 234 00:16:03.960 --> 00:16:06.320 pound DTAs of preaching it. A lot more details can 235 00:16:06.399 --> 00:16:08.879 be said here. But the crucial thing is this the 236 00:16:09.000 --> 00:16:14.279 GANDHASI David to the best that he can as far 237 00:16:14.399 --> 00:16:18.240 as I was able, Saba. Every single parent out there, 238 00:16:18.919 --> 00:16:22.000 hey knows that it is really expensive to have a child. 239 00:16:22.440 --> 00:16:25.159 But I want to tell you this, it is worth 240 00:16:25.200 --> 00:16:29.639 it when we prepare them to reach out or to 241 00:16:30.240 --> 00:16:34.440 grow in God's purposes. I want to encourage you to 242 00:16:34.600 --> 00:16:38.159 not just look at the amount, but look at what 243 00:16:38.399 --> 00:16:41.519 we do in the whole narrative of God, in the 244 00:16:41.679 --> 00:16:47.279 store of his story throughout the whole mankind. What else 245 00:16:47.320 --> 00:16:51.039 can we see? In verse nineteen of chapter twenty nine, 246 00:16:52.279 --> 00:16:57.480 he says, here, grant Solomon my son a whole heart, 247 00:16:58.080 --> 00:17:02.279 that he may keep your commandments, your testimonies, and your statutes, 248 00:17:02.720 --> 00:17:06.039 performing all that he had, that he may build the 249 00:17:06.160 --> 00:17:11.440 palace for which I have made provision. It's also this prayers. 250 00:17:12.359 --> 00:17:15.799 Let's prepare the next generation with our prayers. I cannot 251 00:17:16.079 --> 00:17:20.440 over emphasize the power of a praying parent. Do not 252 00:17:20.720 --> 00:17:24.640 delegate this. Do not pass this to us campus missionaries. 253 00:17:24.839 --> 00:17:27.640 Do not pass this to the victory group leaders or 254 00:17:27.680 --> 00:17:30.920 for the pastors. Let's pray for them, not just because 255 00:17:30.960 --> 00:17:34.279 it's campus Sunday, not just because they're sick, not just 256 00:17:34.400 --> 00:17:37.759 because there's a problem. No, we pray for them because 257 00:17:37.839 --> 00:17:41.279 the devil wants to destroy them. But we claim the 258 00:17:41.359 --> 00:17:46.079 authority over our young people. We pray for them, lay 259 00:17:46.240 --> 00:17:51.279 hands on them, bless them, declare God's purposes for them. Prayers. 260 00:17:51.759 --> 00:17:55.400 We prepare the next generation. When we pray. There's power 261 00:17:55.599 --> 00:18:00.640 with this. Do not underestimate this. David did this towards 262 00:18:00.680 --> 00:18:03.279 the end. He made there was a long prayer in 263 00:18:03.319 --> 00:18:06.319 the Gonamba Basa or chapter twenty nine. David's prayer there 264 00:18:06.519 --> 00:18:10.640 there was amazing, okay, but the majority of that prayer 265 00:18:10.839 --> 00:18:14.000 was directed to God. And then towards the end he said, 266 00:18:14.279 --> 00:18:19.920 for Solomon, imagine the if that's the framework of our prayers. 267 00:18:19.960 --> 00:18:23.720 Also Lord and Damimon blaen and Lord by pray for 268 00:18:23.839 --> 00:18:27.400 the next generation. Last principle that I want us to 269 00:18:27.480 --> 00:18:31.759 see here in verse twenty three. Then Solomon sat on 270 00:18:31.880 --> 00:18:35.279 the throne of the Lord as king in place of David, 271 00:18:35.480 --> 00:18:40.960 his father, and he prospered and all Israel obeyed him. Lastly, 272 00:18:41.960 --> 00:18:46.359 after making those preparations, we need to let them lead. 273 00:18:47.559 --> 00:18:50.160 We need to let them lead. Whatever we think of 274 00:18:50.200 --> 00:18:53.000 the young people today, whether we like it or not, 275 00:18:54.720 --> 00:18:57.880 they will take our place, and we need to prepare them. 276 00:18:58.359 --> 00:19:01.359 The world sees this right now and are making adjustments 277 00:19:01.440 --> 00:19:06.039 to it. There's this article that says how millennials and 278 00:19:06.160 --> 00:19:11.400 Generation Z will change work most favorable as flexible work hours, 279 00:19:11.640 --> 00:19:16.559 off site, work arrangements, most open, so freelancers. It's going 280 00:19:16.680 --> 00:19:21.079 to change how workplace is done. Millennials and the Generation 281 00:19:21.400 --> 00:19:24.640 Z the one after that. The world sees this already. 282 00:19:24.720 --> 00:19:27.759 No my epekto my God, going your next generation, we 283 00:19:27.880 --> 00:19:30.799 need to see it as well. It's been said in 284 00:19:30.960 --> 00:19:34.519 some seven I think verses four to five the children 285 00:19:34.799 --> 00:19:39.880 are like arrows after Mohassai and after Moihanda. Arrows are 286 00:19:39.960 --> 00:19:42.559 not meant to be just kept there. It's meant to 287 00:19:42.640 --> 00:19:46.680 be released. You know, I'm still far from it. Wellapanamum 288 00:19:46.680 --> 00:19:49.000 five years old to Jedi.

I want 291 00:19:57.039 --> 00:20:00.319 to tell you this. I know there are stories young 292 00:20:00.400 --> 00:20:04.200 people falling out of faith when they grow up, but 293 00:20:04.319 --> 00:20:06.440 I want to tell you this. There are also stories 294 00:20:06.480 --> 00:20:10.720 of young people who does not Their faith looks different 295 00:20:11.720 --> 00:20:15.759 or lived out differently, but it's the same faith, it's 296 00:20:15.759 --> 00:20:18.839 the same passion.

And it frustrates us. It's as if 299 00:20:29.359 --> 00:20:33.799 we're saying now, I want to encourage you. I believe 300 00:20:34.039 --> 00:20:37.720 God has prepared these young people, and when we see 301 00:20:38.359 --> 00:20:41.680 younger generations who has this faith? I hope for us, 302 00:20:41.920 --> 00:20:45.319 even for me, I want to learn how the parents 303 00:20:45.440 --> 00:20:48.480 did this. I want to be encouraged by that.

I want 363 00:25:06.440 --> 00:25:09.720 to encourage every single parent out there, run back, run 364 00:25:09.880 --> 00:25:19.839 back to God, seek him, love God, trust him, Paratin depot. 365 00:25:22.880 --> 00:25:29.359 We need this as parents now for the younger generation. 366 00:25:29.920 --> 00:25:33.880 How did Solomon respond to all these things? In Second 367 00:25:33.920 --> 00:25:39.400 Chronicles one, verses eight to ten, it's this and Solomon 368 00:25:39.519 --> 00:25:43.359 said to God, you have shown great and steadfast love 369 00:25:43.440 --> 00:25:46.240 to David my father, and have made me king in 370 00:25:46.319 --> 00:25:49.599 his place. O Lord, God, let your word to David 371 00:25:49.720 --> 00:25:52.079 my father be now fulfilled, for you have made me 372 00:25:52.240 --> 00:25:54.599 king over a people as numerous as the dust of 373 00:25:54.640 --> 00:25:59.000 the earth. Lord the way, give me no wisdom and knowledge, 374 00:26:00.279 --> 00:26:02.880 giving a wisdom and knowledge to go out and and 375 00:26:03.039 --> 00:26:05.799 come in before these people. For who can govern the 376 00:26:05.960 --> 00:26:09.480 people of yours, which is so great? What did Solomon do? 377 00:26:09.839 --> 00:26:14.240 He embraced the faith, and he asked God to encounter 378 00:26:14.599 --> 00:26:20.599 him specifically for the next generation. Yes, we can admire 379 00:26:20.720 --> 00:26:22.799 the faith and the passion of those who are ahead 380 00:26:22.839 --> 00:26:27.480 of us. But I want to challenge you, ind a God. 381 00:26:28.079 --> 00:26:32.279 I want you to pray and challenge God. Lord. I 382 00:26:32.400 --> 00:26:35.480 want to experience you, Lord. I want you to be 383 00:26:35.839 --> 00:26:42.359 my God. You've helped David, but I'm Solomon, I need you, Lord. 384 00:26:43.279 --> 00:26:46.680 He had a personal conviction. He made the faith personal. 385 00:26:46.799 --> 00:26:53.880 Indian God believers he David so, but God believer, Solomon says, no, 386 00:26:54.000 --> 00:26:56.599 I want to know you. I want to know you 387 00:26:56.880 --> 00:27:00.720 as a God. It wasn't just passed on, It wasn't 388 00:27:00.799 --> 00:27:04.799 just required. He encountered it. And you know what, God 389 00:27:04.960 --> 00:27:08.039 shaped him and raised up Solomon. Now, I want to say, 390 00:27:08.119 --> 00:27:11.759 Solomon is not perfect. If you're familiar with the Book 391 00:27:11.759 --> 00:27:17.839 of Ecclesiastes, Madame Maha Malek, okay, But at the end 392 00:27:17.880 --> 00:27:22.519 of it, we can see the faithfulness of God and 393 00:27:22.680 --> 00:27:29.720 David's seeds when he was younger. They played the part 394 00:27:29.759 --> 00:27:35.160 there for the younger generation twenty four years old and below, 395 00:27:36.079 --> 00:27:40.160 I want you to do this to know and experience 396 00:27:40.519 --> 00:27:45.839 Jesus now. In fact, generation, I want all of us 397 00:27:45.920 --> 00:27:50.240 here to know and experience Jesus. Now. We don't just 398 00:27:51.240 --> 00:27:55.319 past trends, or we don't just you know, adapt to 399 00:27:55.400 --> 00:27:59.440 the latest changing landscape. No, we seek and we put 400 00:27:59.480 --> 00:28:03.359 our trust to the eternal things that does not change. 401 00:28:04.160 --> 00:28:05.680
