- GENERATIONS -


Isaiah 41.1

"Who did and ran it all? He who from the beginning has called generations to existence, I, the Lord, the first, and with the latter myself. "


     How many struggles and dilemmas we found in our generations. Each generation faces its challenges, each, elders, adults, youth and children, have nowadays to face their own problems often alone and isolated. God looks for all generations and says: "at that time, saith the Lord, I will be the God of all the generations of Israel, and they shall be my people." (Jeremiah 31.1). God is the Lord of all generations and families. Each generation in particular this under the watchful eye of our God. In A. T, in General, the time from one generation to the other was approximately 40 years old, but today this time shortened to about 25 to 30 years or even less. Regardless of your or my generation, God sees no better or worse, God sees different generations and people who need to connect at this time so troubled.

             The generation of children - this is the generation of hope. A fragile generation and often neglected in the Church. Jesus always valued children: "so that they become humble like this boy, this is the greatest in the Kingdom of heaven." (Matthew 18.4). There is a fierce battle for this generation. The devil invests heavily to boot this generation of the Church and prevent the outside between. We are all responsible for this generation. The generation of children belongs to all of us and we were commissioned to take responsibility for them, with or without biological children. We must save this generation, love them, invest in your good spiritual and physical growth.


              The generation of young people - this is the generation of discovery. A time of great crisis and dilemmas. While kids prepare young people want to act. It is a time of experimentation. For many young people is not worth what is written, is what has been proven. The experience of others is not much for a young man. This is a critical moment in the life of the human being. This generation needs to be monitored closely, encouraged, loved, respected, natural and spiritual parents should "wager", believe in his youth, exalt its qualities. It is not easy to be a believer in youth, by this the apostle John wrote: "I wrote, young people, because you are strong, and the word of God is in you, and already you have overcome the evil one." (I John b 2.14). Being a young Christian is to be a winner.


            The generation of adults - this is the generation of warriors. Much of the leadership of the Church is in your hands. This generation believes in the power of God, invests in spiritual growth, supporting missionary work. The adults are always ready for the battles, do not fear adversity, because I went through something similar in the past. This is a mature and respected by younger people. Many are tempted to walk alone, but experience tells you that this would not be good or useful.

          
            The adult generation, by proximity, meant more to young generation, becoming a great support in the development of their skills. The maturity of this generation is seen when she does not get involved in minor issues in the UK, things that don't build anything. "When I was a child, I spoke as a child, I felt as a boy, ran as a boy, but as soon as I came to be a man, I put away childish things." (I Corinthians 13.11). It is unacceptable for meninices in the adult stage of the Christian faith. "Brothers, do not be boys in the judgment; in malice, Yes, registered children; as to the judgment, mature men headquarters. " (I Corinthians 14:20)


             The generation of elders - this is the generation of true champions. The elders can tell the stories of fightings overdue. They have learned to fight the good fight. They have learned to keep fighting and not to be disheartened with war injuries. Many feel that they are weakening, but what really matters is what is still ahead. This generation must be the most respected and honored, because we are the fruit of their prayers. The Apostle Paul instructs the young Timothy to respect the elder: "no repreendas roughly the elders, but admonishes them as parents;" (I Timothy 5.1). All elder should and can feel the spiritual father of the new Christians, ensuring the proper development of their faith.

             It is not too late to join the generations, elders, adults, young people and children are waiting for a hug and a word that you indicate how to follow together. Only hearts humble as a child connect with other generations. There is no greater virtue in Christian life that humility. "Similarly, you, young, seat subject to elders; and all subject to each other and put on humility, for God resisteth the proud, but giveth grace to the humble. " (I Peter 5.5)
