Investing Into The Next Generation
As a pastor, it’s interesting to watch how people behave as they get older. I see so many Christians who used to sit up front and be the most active in worship, slowly move to the very back of the church auditorium.
Sometimes I’ll even walk up to them and say, “You used to be in the front row, but now you’re in the back. What happened?”
“Oh, Pastor,” they’ll often say, “I’m old now, so I let the younger people sit up front.”
That’s when I tell them how important it is for those young people to see them as leaders. It’s crucial that they connect with them in worship, mentor them, and help develop them into the leaders of tomorrow.
The generational gap is so significant in our present times… more than ever in the history of our world. We have an urgent need for adult leaders who will answer the call of God to mentor and disciple younger leaders; to declare His power “to the next generation” (Ps. 71:18). We have to bridge the gap!
The Bible tells us that the glory of youth is in their strength (Prov. 20:29). They are passionate. Full of enthusiasm and drive. But they need guidance from the wisdom that comes with age and experience in the kingdom and presence of God.
Don’t ever think you’re not relevant enough to connect with the younger generation. Find someone you can pour into on a regular basis, and experience the reward of investing in the leaders of tomorrow!
Prayer for the day:
Pray that God will bring you someone you can invest in to affect the next generation powerfully for Christ! And pray for the wisdom to guide and mentor this youth into his or her own intimate relationship with God.

读经计划介绍
What does it take for dreams to become reality? Dreams come true, but what does it take for dreams to become reality? It takes effort and commitment. First of all, you need to seek the Lord to know if your dreams are in His perfect will. Pray and fast; allow Him to speak to you. Then be led by the Holy Spirit and the Word of God, and surround yourself with people whom you trust, those who will stand by you and help you to achieve your God-given dreams. Not only will your vision and dream give you the motivation and commitment to discipline your life, it will also inspire and affect others around you to live out their dreams in Christ.
