Speaker 1: Welcome Just hand Away Tagalog Sermon Podcast, your daily dose
Speaker 1: of inspiring from heartfelt taglog sermons from different pastors and
Speaker 1: speakers all over the Philippines. We hope that this podcast
Speaker 1: finds you in good shape. And now here's your message.
Speaker 1: The first time that I saw Pastor Dennis, he was
Speaker 1: you've pastor back then. He preached there something very powerful
Speaker 1: about Jesus the gospel. And I'm forever thankful for men
Speaker 1: for leaders who are there who guided us, specially when
Speaker 1: I was young. Yes, this is the last week of
Speaker 1: our campus Sunday and we have this series called Generationship. Basically,
Speaker 1: what we want is we want to reguard this culture
Speaker 1: of multi generational relationships. Now, why is this so important,
Speaker 1: especially in our church. You see, we live in a
Speaker 1: world we're in. It's so or it's easier to cluster
Speaker 1: together according to your beliefs or your manga healing or
Speaker 1: your manga like minded Nesna and Masdeling mag clustered together. Now.
Speaker 1: As much as social media was built to create or
Speaker 1: to connect with other people, the negative side of this,
Speaker 1: as we can see, is so it's so easy now
Speaker 1: to cancel out other peoples. It's so it's natural. It's
Speaker 1: easier in our world today to connect with certain people
Speaker 1: that we are we have common interests with and cancel
Speaker 1: out other people. And especially when it comes to generations
Speaker 1: no generation ibayumana previous generations. It's a generation that man
Speaker 1: and even with the generation that's after me, those who
Speaker 1: are youngerma sama. In fact, one one common thing makitaat
Speaker 1: and is the way young people use language. You know
Speaker 1: a couple of I think it was it was a
Speaker 1: month ago. We we did something our in our Instagram
Speaker 1: account in Every Nation campus green Hills. We had a
Speaker 1: couple of students who gathered all of their campus missionaries
Speaker 1: and then they said, the word does carps Yeah, c
Speaker 1: A r p s carps, paras and Millennia mels animes,
Speaker 1: I see magic carp That's not what it means. Carps
Speaker 1: is a shortened version or shortened version of the word carpet.
Speaker 1: Now see no name non rug at spelling rug I
Speaker 1: r u G. So in short, are you game jiaba readyava?
Speaker 1: Are you g? And I was like and we were
Speaker 1: like difference. More of that video you can follow our
Speaker 1: Every Nation campus green Hills. But that's just one example
Speaker 1: of the differences we have with other generations with the
Speaker 1: generation gap. Now here's the thing. Whatever the differences are,
Speaker 1: here's one thing that I am sure off. The next
Speaker 1: generation needs preparing. They do okayes happen, So they need preparing,
Speaker 1: preparing for life, preparing for the future, preparing to process things,
Speaker 1: preparing for the things to come. This needs to happen.
Speaker 1: The question is who does the preparing? So let's not okay,
Speaker 1: let's try to be more specific. Let's not think about
Speaker 1: other young people. First one us a church, not in
Speaker 1: who prepares our next generation? The world or the church?
Speaker 1: And if our answer is the church, how do we
Speaker 1: properly prepare them and transition them properly so that when
Speaker 1: it's their time right now to lead and to take
Speaker 1: hold of our society, they will lead. Well, that's what
Speaker 1: we're going to look at today. We're going to look
Speaker 1: at last week, we looked at that transition from Saul
Speaker 1: to David. Maymailam positive but predominantly negative transition from Saul
Speaker 1: to David. Now we're going to see how David transitioned
Speaker 1: his kingdom or the kingdom of Israel, to his son Solomon.
Speaker 1: We're going to start off by looking at First Chronicles
Speaker 1: twenty two, verse five. It says here for David said Solomon,
Speaker 1: my son is young and inexperienced, and the house that
Speaker 1: is to be built for the Lord must be exceedingly
Speaker 1: magnificent of fame and glory throughout all lands. I will
Speaker 1: therefore make preparation for it. You see when we read this,
Speaker 1: there's a framework here, and I think when it comes
Speaker 1: to reaching the next generation two, there is a big
Speaker 1: task sabidi David ditoino. There is this exceedingly magnificent house,
Speaker 1: and it's not my house, It's the house of the Lord.
Speaker 1: There is a big task. This task is not for us,
Speaker 1: for our generation success, for the next generation success. It's
Speaker 1: more than that. It's for the glory of God. There
Speaker 1: is a big task. We need to see that. I
Speaker 1: want all of us here to see the task of
Speaker 1: preparing the next generation as a God or dain task.
Speaker 1: There is a big task, and there is a gap.
Speaker 1: My gapy, my pullings a lieo. Hey, Solomon is young
Speaker 1: and inexperience. And how did David respond. Did David say, hey,
Speaker 1: Noaja now hopeless case? What did he say? He made preparations.
Speaker 1: We are going to look at a key some key
Speaker 1: principles and how David prepared Solomon, specifically towards the latter
Speaker 1: years of David. It's found in First Chronicles twenty eight.
Speaker 1: Before but before we go there, let me just pray
Speaker 1: for all of us here Lloyd already our hearts. I pray,
Speaker 1: and I asked spirit of humility and unity to come
Speaker 1: upon us, Lord Lord, that we would learn to humble
Speaker 1: ourselves before you, that we would humble ourselves with each other,
Speaker 1: and that we will pursue unity in the spirit in
Speaker 1: Jesus' name, Amen and Amen. What can we see here?
Speaker 1: In First Chronicles twenty eight it says here and David
Speaker 1: assembled at Jerusalem all the officials of Israel, the officials
Speaker 1: of the tribes, the officers with the divisions that serve
Speaker 1: the king, and all the seasoned wires Madami personal inassembled,
Speaker 1: all the mighty men and the seasoned wires. What can
Speaker 1: we see here at the very start towards the latter
Speaker 1: years of David, when he was preparing to transition his
Speaker 1: kingdom to Solomon, is that he involved the community. My
Speaker 1: involvement in community and why is this so important? You see?
Speaker 1: What's notable with David is ever since he was young,
Speaker 1: he has always been surrounded by people. Sere Samuel and
Speaker 1: then he's mighty men, there's Nathan and he has an
Speaker 1: amazing team. And now when it comes to transitioning the
Speaker 1: kingdom to Solomon, he did it as well. He looked
Speaker 1: for a community people around him. Amazing. When it comes
Speaker 1: to preparing Solomon, he didn't do it alone. And we
Speaker 1: know we've heard this called la baby education seva. It
Speaker 1: takes a village to raise a child. And it's true.
Speaker 1: We don't have to be isolated or abdicate this road
Speaker 1: to other people. We need more people around us. And
Speaker 1: I pray and my prayer is the church community around
Speaker 1: us to help us raise a child. You know. On
Speaker 1: a personal note, that's how I think I was raised,
Speaker 1: even as a student, I have people around me, mothers
Speaker 1: and fathers and kuyas attes, titos, titas of Manila and
Speaker 1: really who were with me and raising me up. And
Speaker 1: you know, the sad part about this whole pandemic is
Speaker 1: it's so it's easier right now to isolate. It's easier
Speaker 1: right now to you know, let's just come in together
Speaker 1: in fact bag and we miss that many. I have
Speaker 1: your picture of Jedi and real hey, the son of
Speaker 1: Pastor Allen and Atti Glenda. You know there's a joke.
Speaker 1: We would leave Jedi with them so that we could
Speaker 1: date communicate. You know, Joo Alan Jedai Kunasan you orange
Speaker 1: still Alan when when Jedi goes there, he goes straight
Speaker 1: to the refrigerator and gets food. Why am I saying
Speaker 1: this because it INDI is a family and my prayer
Speaker 1: is right now. Most probably we can't do that, Persanam
Speaker 1: Karnaina this and community makeshi. I don't know how it
Speaker 1: how we would translate that to our time today. But
Speaker 1: the principle there we need the involvement of the community. Now,
Speaker 1: it doesn't end there. In verse two, it says here
Speaker 1: then King David rose to his feet and said, hear me,
Speaker 1: my brothers and my people. I had it in my
Speaker 1: heart to build the house of rest for the ark
Speaker 1: of the covenant of the Lord, and for the footstool
Speaker 1: of our God. And I made preparations for the building.
Speaker 1: But God said to me, you may not build a
Speaker 1: house for my name, for you are a man of
Speaker 1: war and you have shed blood. What can we see here?
Speaker 1: What we see here is that David was sharing his
Speaker 1: big vision. Why is this important? You know, David's ultimate dream,
Speaker 1: even to the latter years of his life, is still
Speaker 1: to honor and glorify God, Yumbata. Last week you sabin
Speaker 1: A zinotongunam Babas was the honor at gloryy God. And
Speaker 1: now towards the end of his life, he was sharing
Speaker 1: the vision I want to honor God. I want to
Speaker 1: build something for God. I want to I want to
Speaker 1: do this for God. And this big vision is so
Speaker 1: tied up with a heart of worship and with his faith. Question,
Speaker 1: does our kids or the next generation still see to
Speaker 1: us the current generation twenty five years old and above? Okay,
Speaker 1: do they still see us dream big dreams? Do we
Speaker 1: still communicate this big vision we got from God Kumba parag?
Speaker 1: Do they still see us tackle big things by faith?
Speaker 1: Do they hear us still dream and trust? God naps
Speaker 1: your attitude of faith? What else? In verse nine, it
Speaker 1: says here and you, Solomon, my son, know the God
Speaker 1: of your father, and survey it with the whole heart
Speaker 1: and with a willing mind. For the Lord searches all
Speaker 1: hearts and understands every plan and thought. If you seek him,
Speaker 1: he will be found by you, but if you forsake him,
Speaker 1: he will cast you off forever. Be careful now for
Speaker 1: the Lord that's chosen you to the house for the sanctuary.
Speaker 1: Be strong and do it. David was issuing a challenge
Speaker 1: and a warning Watahota to challenge the next generation and
Speaker 1: to warn them. Also, he was challenging the next generation.
Speaker 1: Do it. It's a big task. Be strong, and I
Speaker 1: want to warn you seek him. If you don't, you
Speaker 1: will experience hardships and life them so brung it up
Speaker 1: because you're standing against the will of God. Let us
Speaker 1: not be afraid to challenge and warn the next generation.
Speaker 1: My consequence on Casalhanan. But let's just not focus on
Speaker 1: the warning, but challenge them for godliness and righteousness, which
Speaker 1: leads me to this a mejicy Milarno. In verse twenty,
Speaker 1: it says here then David said the Solomon his song,
Speaker 1: be strong and courageous and do it. Do not be afraid,
Speaker 1: and do not be dismayed. For the Lord God, even
Speaker 1: my God, is with you. He will not leave you
Speaker 1: or forsake you until all the work of the service
Speaker 1: of the House of the Lord is finished. Wow. Could
Speaker 1: you imagine that David was encouraging the next generation, encouraging
Speaker 1: you know, it's amazing how young people can do big
Speaker 1: things just because someone encouraged them and guided them. It's
Speaker 1: amazing how their potential will be unleashed, the things that
Speaker 1: they could do when there is someone who would encourage them.
Speaker 1: You know, I have here a picture of some people
Speaker 1: who help me. That's the Toboni Tastella Coya, marlont Emila
Speaker 1: Yumassa and Augustine tita Emi. Different generations, different families, different background,
Speaker 1: but at one point in my life they gave encouragement.
Speaker 1: Again Christiano to hear negative trash words, but it takes faith,
Speaker 1: it takes conviction, it takes the spirit of God. It
Speaker 1: takes us when we experience God, to say it and
Speaker 1: encourage it to the next generation. I'm thankful for these
Speaker 1: people and for every one of us heroes watching who
Speaker 1: has an experience of someone, maybe older in the faith
Speaker 1: or maybe older in terms of age, who has encouraged you.
Speaker 1: My plea for you is this, encourage the next generation
Speaker 1: also overcome But to some next generation. No, if we've
Speaker 1: overcome it, let's let's quote unquot it forward, be encouraging
Speaker 1: other people as well. Speak into their life, to look
Speaker 1: at the purposes of God instead of the current situation,
Speaker 1: To look at the will of God in that person's life,
Speaker 1: to have eyes of faith instead of just looking at
Speaker 1: the current situation. Not in the picture. Remember Jason lo allays, Jason,
Speaker 1: I would remember when I was I think one year
Speaker 1: after I graduated, he would come to me and he
Speaker 1: would say, Bro, you are going to speak. You don't
Speaker 1: see it out, but you will. You will preach, you
Speaker 1: will talk. And every time he would see me, he
Speaker 1: would say that, Bro, you're going to speak, You're going
Speaker 1: to lead. Okay, it is slowly those words bearing the fruit.
Speaker 1: I'm thankful for those people, Madam. I believe right now
Speaker 1: there are big dreams in the hearts of our students.
Speaker 1: They just need someone to call it out. I also
Speaker 1: believe that some of our students don't know what God
Speaker 1: has for them, and someone has to call it out.
Speaker 1: Let us encourage them as well. And in chapter twenty nine,
Speaker 1: verse two, what else can we see here? So I
Speaker 1: have provided for the house of my God, so far
Speaker 1: as I was able, the gold of the things of gold,
Speaker 1: the silver for the things of silver. And then David
Speaker 1: would say, all the other valuable things and all sorts
Speaker 1: of precious stones and marbles. What can we see here?
Speaker 1: What we see here is we prepare the next generation
Speaker 1: by making provisions for them material financial. Now, I wouldn't
Speaker 1: dwell much here compared to the other principles because pacinabinat
Speaker 1: in preparing the next generation dibot in terms of finances,
Speaker 1: we have parents and apaka InKo my bubon my damit
Speaker 1: na go out in part coo. Now it's true, this
Speaker 1: is so important. In fact, all the things that I'll
Speaker 1: be sharing right now, there are only two physical tangible
Speaker 1: things NAMAI the community and a couple of provisions. Now,
Speaker 1: there's so many things that can be said here ninety
Speaker 1: pound DTAs of preaching it. A lot more details can
Speaker 1: be said here. But the crucial thing is this the
Speaker 1: GANDHASI David to the best that he can as far
Speaker 1: as I was able, Saba. Every single parent out there,
Speaker 1: hey knows that it is really expensive to have a child.
Speaker 1: But I want to tell you this, it is worth
Speaker 1: it when we prepare them to reach out or to
Speaker 1: grow in God's purposes. I want to encourage you to
Speaker 1: not just look at the amount, but look at what
Speaker 1: we do in the whole narrative of God, in the
Speaker 1: store of his story throughout the whole mankind. What else
Speaker 1: can we see? In verse nineteen of chapter twenty nine,
Speaker 1: he says, here, grant Solomon my son a whole heart,
Speaker 1: that he may keep your commandments, your testimonies, and your statutes,
Speaker 1: performing all that he had, that he may build the
Speaker 1: palace for which I have made provision. It's also this prayers.
Speaker 1: Let's prepare the next generation with our prayers. I cannot
Speaker 1: over emphasize the power of a praying parent. Do not
Speaker 1: delegate this. Do not pass this to us campus missionaries.
Speaker 1: Do not pass this to the victory group leaders or
Speaker 1: for the pastors. Let's pray for them, not just because
Speaker 1: it's campus Sunday, not just because they're sick, not just
Speaker 1: because there's a problem. No, we pray for them because
Speaker 1: the devil wants to destroy them. But we claim the
Speaker 1: authority over our young people. We pray for them, lay
Speaker 1: hands on them, bless them, declare God's purposes for them. Prayers.
Speaker 1: We prepare the next generation. When we pray. There's power
Speaker 1: with this. Do not underestimate this. David did this towards
Speaker 1: the end. He made there was a long prayer in
Speaker 1: the Gonamba Basa or chapter twenty nine. David's prayer there
Speaker 1: there was amazing, okay, but the majority of that prayer
Speaker 1: was directed to God. And then towards the end he said,
Speaker 1: for Solomon, imagine the if that's the framework of our prayers.
Speaker 1: Also Lord and Damimon blaen and Lord by pray for
Speaker 1: the next generation. Last principle that I want us to
Speaker 1: see here in verse twenty three. Then Solomon sat on
Speaker 1: the throne of the Lord as king in place of David,
Speaker 1: his father, and he prospered and all Israel obeyed him. Lastly,
Speaker 1: after making those preparations, we need to let them lead.
Speaker 1: We need to let them lead. Whatever we think of
Speaker 1: the young people today, whether we like it or not,
Speaker 1: they will take our place, and we need to prepare them.
Speaker 1: The world sees this right now and are making adjustments
Speaker 1: to it. There's this article that says how millennials and
Speaker 1: Generation Z will change work most favorable as flexible work hours,
Speaker 1: off site, work arrangements, most open, so freelancers. It's going
Speaker 1: to change how workplace is done. Millennials and the Generation
Speaker 1: Z the one after that. The world sees this already.
Speaker 1: No my epekto my God, going your next generation, we
Speaker 1: need to see it as well. It's been said in
Speaker 1: some seven I think verses four to five the children
Speaker 1: are like arrows after Mohassai and after Moihanda. Arrows are
Speaker 1: not meant to be just kept there. It's meant to
Speaker 1: be released. You know, I'm still far from it. Wellapanamum
Speaker 1: five years old to Jedi. I can only see this
Speaker 1: at work through some of our leaders or in church
Speaker 1: who has been part of generations of faith. I want
Speaker 1: to tell you this. I know there are stories young
Speaker 1: people falling out of faith when they grow up, but
Speaker 1: I want to tell you this. There are also stories
Speaker 1: of young people who does not Their faith looks different
Speaker 1: or lived out differently, but it's the same faith, it's
Speaker 1: the same passion. And I want all of us here
Speaker 1: to be encouraged by that. Misindi Kagaya natin compano young faith,
Speaker 1: the next generation. And it frustrates us. It's as if
Speaker 1: we're saying now, I want to encourage you. I believe
Speaker 1: God has prepared these young people, and when we see
Speaker 1: younger generations who has this faith? I hope for us,
Speaker 1: even for me, I want to learn how the parents
Speaker 1: did this. I want to be encouraged by that. I
Speaker 1: want to get impartation from them because time will come
Speaker 1: to the students right now that I'm reaching out those thirteen, fourteen,
Speaker 1: fifteen years old jedi ten twenty years from now, they
Speaker 1: will lead now Adam. But what's the framework of all
Speaker 1: these things, Madami principles. But if if I were to
Speaker 1: summarize this, if you look at chapter twenty eight, these
Speaker 1: words of the Lord and for the Lord keeps on
Speaker 1: coming up ten times of the Lord, and I think
Speaker 1: for the Lord is four times. So in short to
Speaker 1: ta galogne Lord at Kai Lord vision e, tony Lord, mission,
Speaker 1: Tony Lord, Lord. And that's the conviction of David. It's
Speaker 1: not on me. I'm working with God. This is for God.
Speaker 1: This is of the Lord. And I want all of
Speaker 1: us here to know, if you are a parent, we
Speaker 1: have a divine call from the Lord and we're doing
Speaker 1: it for the Lord, and it's for the glory of
Speaker 1: the Lord. It's not just for us Hindika. All this
Speaker 1: message is for the current generation twenty five years old
Speaker 1: and above. If we want to reach out the next generation,
Speaker 1: we need to remember nine man Atten originate toy it's
Speaker 1: from God. In fact, the conviction of David was this
Speaker 1: in first Chronicle seventeen Kapala Apagni David sal prayers ya
Speaker 1: case in Bakstorian Masina bin a Palace, Lord s seventeen,
Speaker 1: verse ten. Moreover, I declare to you that the Lord
Speaker 1: will build you a house when your days are fulfilled,
Speaker 1: to walk with your fathers. I will raise up your
Speaker 1: offspring after you, one of your sons, and will establish
Speaker 1: his kingdom. He shall build a house for me, and
Speaker 1: I will establish his throne forever. I will be to
Speaker 1: him as a father, and he will be to me
Speaker 1: as a son. I will not take my steadfast love
Speaker 1: from him, as I took it from who was before you.
Speaker 1: But I will confirm him in your in my house
Speaker 1: and in my kingdom forever. In this throne shall be
Speaker 1: established forever. The confidence of David was the promise of
Speaker 1: God to his life. Your conviction me David excited, see
Speaker 1: Lord Sanya. He heard God. It didn't lead him to
Speaker 1: be too controlling or too enabling, but he was just
Speaker 1: obeying God. I want to encourage every parents out there
Speaker 1: like me. Maria partner ki Lord, Let's partner with the Lord.
Speaker 1: Let's seek God's will for our child, my surrelian Plano.
Speaker 1: But I want to encourage all of us here seek
Speaker 1: God's will for our child. And Lord, I heard from you, Lord.
Speaker 1: I've prayed this with you. Lord. I'm claiming this from
Speaker 1: you because I've experienced you. You know, while reading this,
Speaker 1: Solomon is one of those kings napara mejo biastone o
Speaker 1: mejo favorite. And I can't help to imagine maybe David
Speaker 1: was remembering Solomon's older name Parasa Mahindi familiar is a papal.
Speaker 1: Solomon's a papal Solomon Jeddi dayah, which means beloved of
Speaker 1: the Lord. And it can't you know, I can't get
Speaker 1: it off my head. Maybe David was imagining I've done stupid,
Speaker 1: sinful things in the past, and here was God reminding
Speaker 1: me in the middle of all my sins, you are
Speaker 1: still beloved of the Lord Jeddi daiyah, and I want
Speaker 1: to pray for I want to claim this for all
Speaker 1: of us here as parents. Even right Nowrist I'm perfect parent,
Speaker 1: but I want you to remember this. That's the gospel.
Speaker 1: We've experienced love, love and grace undeserved. That's why we
Speaker 1: can do this also to the next generation. I want
Speaker 1: to encourage every single parent out there, run back, run
Speaker 1: back to God, seek him, love God, trust him, Paratin depot.
Speaker 1: We need this as parents now for the younger generation.
Speaker 1: How did Solomon respond to all these things? In Second
Speaker 1: Chronicles one, verses eight to ten, it's this and Solomon
Speaker 1: said to God, you have shown great and steadfast love
Speaker 1: to David my father, and have made me king in
Speaker 1: his place. O Lord, God, let your word to David
Speaker 1: my father be now fulfilled, for you have made me
Speaker 1: king over a people as numerous as the dust of
Speaker 1: the earth. Lord the way, give me no wisdom and knowledge,
Speaker 1: giving a wisdom and knowledge to go out and and
Speaker 1: come in before these people. For who can govern the
Speaker 1: people of yours, which is so great? What did Solomon do?
Speaker 1: He embraced the faith, and he asked God to encounter
Speaker 1: him specifically for the next generation. Yes, we can admire
Speaker 1: the faith and the passion of those who are ahead
Speaker 1: of us. But I want to challenge you, ind a God.
Speaker 1: I want you to pray and challenge God. Lord. I
Speaker 1: want to experience you, Lord. I want you to be
Speaker 1: my God. You've helped David, but I'm Solomon, I need you, Lord.
Speaker 1: He had a personal conviction. He made the faith personal.
Speaker 1: Indian God believers he David so, but God believer, Solomon says, no,
Speaker 1: I want to know you. I want to know you
Speaker 1: as a God. It wasn't just passed on, It wasn't
Speaker 1: just required. He encountered it. And you know what, God
Speaker 1: shaped him and raised up Solomon. Now, I want to say,
Speaker 1: Solomon is not perfect. If you're familiar with the Book
Speaker 1: of Ecclesiastes, Madame Maha Malek, okay, But at the end
Speaker 1: of it, we can see the faithfulness of God and
Speaker 1: David's seeds when he was younger. They played the part
Speaker 1: there for the younger generation twenty four years old and below,
Speaker 1: I want you to do this to know and experience
Speaker 1: Jesus now. In fact, generation, I want all of us
Speaker 1: here to know and experience Jesus. Now. We don't just
Speaker 1: past trends, or we don't just you know, adapt to
Speaker 1: the latest changing landscape. No, we seek and we put
Speaker 1: our trust to the eternal things that does not change.
Speaker 1: I want to end with this, and I want to
Speaker 1: pray for all of us here. I'm going to read
Speaker 1: here a prayer coming from the Book of Common Prayer,
Speaker 1: and for the children, or for those people who are
Speaker 1: younger twenty four bah blah bah. I want all of
Speaker 1: us here to pray for our guardians. Your mom must
Speaker 1: twenty five years old, that pat us, and I want
Speaker 1: all of us here to pray for them, if you
Speaker 1: could just lay your hands on them. I'm going to
Speaker 1: read the prayer here, and I'm going to end in
Speaker 1: prayer also says here, Almighty God, Heavenly Father, you have
Speaker 1: blessed us with the joy and care of children. Give
Speaker 1: us calm, strength and patient wisdom as we bring them up,
Speaker 1: that we may teach them to love whatever is just
Speaker 1: and true and good, following the example of our savior,
Speaker 1: Jesus Christ. Amen. Now for the younger people. If you
Speaker 1: are around younger people, I want to pray, declare this
Speaker 1: prayer to every young people out there. God, our Father,
Speaker 1: you see your children growing up in an unsteady and
Speaker 1: confusing world. Show them that your ways give more life
Speaker 1: than the ways of the world, and that following you
Speaker 1: is better than chasing after selfish goals. Help them to
Speaker 1: take failure not as a measure of their worth, but
Speaker 1: as a chance for a new start. Give them strength
Speaker 1: to hold their faith in You and to keep alive
Speaker 1: their joy in your creation through Jesus Christ, Our Lord. Amen.
Speaker 1: And I want to declare this to all of us
Speaker 1: here Malachi four verses five to six. Behold, I will
Speaker 1: send you Elijah the Prophet before the great and awesome
Speaker 1: day of the Lord, and he will turn the hearts
Speaker 1: of fathers to their children, and the hearts of children
Speaker 1: to their fathers. As I come and strike the land
Speaker 1: with the decree of utter destruction. Lord, you heard those prayers.
Speaker 1: My prayer is right now that there's just a spirit
Speaker 1: of reconciliation that's going to happen within our church, within
Speaker 1: generational the generations inside our church. God, those older and
Speaker 1: those younger will come together, and our hearts will be
Speaker 1: turned towards each other and not away from each other.
Speaker 1: Holy Spirit, I decree and declare that there is going
Speaker 1: to be a spirit of unity. It's going to come
Speaker 1: of humility, that we will submit to each other as
