As I laid down at about 4:28am this morning meditating, I heard in my spirit what a FAITHLESS and POWERLESS generation of Christians that:
1. If Jesus Christ was physically in this generation, many Christians of today would have condemned him on and off social media for not engaging in secular jobs or doing business to make money enough to give for more wine to be bought in the marriage feast He attended than to miraculously turned water to wine. Oh, what a faithless and powerless generation of Christians! (John 2:1-11).
2. If Jesus Christ was physically in this generation, many Christians of today would have condemned him on and off social media for not be caring enough when Peter told Him they caught nothing all-night and He still went ahead to request for his boat and thereafter miraculously instructed Peter for a great catch. Oh what a powerless generation of Christians! (Luke 5:1-9).
3. If Jesus Christ was physically in this generation, many Christians of today would have condemned him on and off social media for not having enough financial and managerial knowledge and skill to know that there was no longer enough money with His treasurer to feed five thousands persons than for Him to ask Philip and then to take a poor child's two fishes and five loaves of bread and miraculously fed them all with it having remnants left. Oh, what a powerless generation of Christians! (John 6:1-14).
4. If Apostle Peter was physically in this generation, many Christians of today would have condemned him on and off social media for not working hard enough to have money to give alms to the crippled man at the beautiful gate than telling him, silver and gold I have not, such I have, I give to you, rise and walk. Oh what a faithless and powerless generation of Christians! (Acts 3).
5. If Apostle Philip was physically in this generation, many Christians of today would have condemned him on and off social media for not loving and being godly enough as a follower of Christ to dwell peaceful with Simon the Sorcerer than to challenge him and put him out of business in the city with the Power of God. Oh what a faithless and powerless generation of Christians! (Acts 8:4-24).
6. If Apostle Paul and Silas were physically in this generation, many Christians of today would have condemned them on and off social media for going ahead to preach when the government of the day restricted them from doing so than for them to be disobedient and allowed them to be arrested and imprisoned, then starts praising and praying to God that got them miraculously released by the Angel of the Lord. Oh what a faithless and powerless generation of Christians! (Acts 16:16-40).
It is unfortunate that even generation of the Old Testament believers had more FAITH and POWER than majority of Christians in the New Testament generation today when Jesus Christ revealed that with the Holy Spirit in each of us, we are to be greater and powerful than them all. So sad, so bad!
Do you know that:
7. If Noah was physically in this generation, many Christians of today would have condemned him on and off social media for him thinking he knows too much than every other persons of his days to say God will destroy the World with water than for him insistently and persistently saying what he had being told by God and therefore, continue to build the ark as instructed that eventually saved only him and members of his household as every other persons mocked and despised his voice and work. Oh what a faithless and powerless generation of Christians! (Genesis 6 to 9).
8. If Elijah were physically in this generation, many Christians of today would have condemned him on or off social media for asking the widow to first give him some of her and son's last meal they wanted to eat and die because of the national famine they are all in at that time than Elijah heeding to the Word of God to ask her to feed him and miraculously fed her and her son for three and half years that the famine lasted. Oh what a faithless and powerless generation of Christians! (1 Kings 17).
9. If Esther and Mordecai were physically in this generation, many Christians of today would have condemned Mordecai on and off social media for not bowing to Haman humbly than for him to pressurise Esther with his word that made her put her life in danger and thereafter got a miraculous overturn against Haman who passionately desire to wickedly eliminate Mordecai and all the Jews. Oh what a faithless and powerless generation of Christians! (Book of Esther).
10. If Daniel and his three friends were physically in this generation, many Christians of today would have condemned them for not obeying the government of the day than for them to stand by their personal conviction on the side of honouring God and got miraculously delivered. Oh what a faithless and powerless generation of Christians! (Book of Daniel).
I can go on and on as I am inspired this moment, but let me take a few minutes break and WEEP for my generation for I saw how many Christians condemn and continuing to condemn other Christians for taking different stands in this period of COVID 19 challenge and I can't but weep and weep for my generation of FAITHLESS and POWERLESS Christians who take pride in their faithlessness and powerlessness. Yes, I am weeping for my generation of Christians and I will not stop until that the GLORY of the latter house become GREATER than the former. Oh Lord, help my generation of faithless and powerless Christians, for I am available Lord! (Haggai 2:9)
Now, whether you believer it or not, the POWER of RESURRECTION as manifested and demonstrated by Jesus Christ Himself and His followers of the early Church after He left them physically is still very much available to us all in Christ in this generation, but the problem you and I is having is LACK of FAITH and enough FEAR of GOD to depart from SIN and from the things of the World that darkening and deadening the souls of men. True! (Hebrews 13:8).
Now, we cannot continue to DECEIVE ourselves and expect to see God's Power work for us and through us in this generation because God cannot be mocked, whatsoever we SOW, we REAP. If we continue to sow to our flesh (lust and pride), we will reap by our flesh corruption (death - no life and power of God). Therefore, If you and I are honest and sincere enough, we will agree with ourselves that we Christians (Christ's followers) of today are not SEPARATED and DIFFERENT from the people of the World, so, we CANNOT do better than them with the Holy Spirit we have inside of us. So sad, so bad! (Galatians 6:7,8; 2 Corinthians 6:15-18; 1 John 2:15-17).
We pridefully forget that God's thoughts and ways are not like ours and they are as far apart as the Heaven is far apart from the Earth. We also foolishly think we can use our inherited and acquired worldy wisdom and intelligent to outsmart Him (God) in our foolishness, not knowing that His foolishness (if He even has any) is wiser than our best human wisdom available today. Oh what a faithless and powerless generation of Christians! (Isaiah 55:6-12; Colossians 2:8-10; 1 Corinthians 1:24-31; 1 Corinthians 3:18-20)
The good news is that currently GOD is LOOKING for that man or woman who will DARE to be DIFFERENT in this faithless and powerless generation through whom He will prove Himself Faithful and Powerful to this wicked generation. Yes, God is currently looking out for you and I to be DIFFERENT, then He will make a DIFFERENCE through us. Will you? ((Hebrews 1:19; Jude 1:22; 1 Thessalonians 1:24)
Finally, I want to encourage you that you CAN. Yes, you CAN be that ONE PERSON in your family, Church, neighborhood, organisation, community, city and nation. Yes you CAN as I have vowed to be! (Philippians 4:13)
God bless as you heed to this DIVINE CALL in such a time like this!
