BIBLE TEXT: 1 Kings 12:6-8
6 And king Rehoboam consulted with the old men, that stood before Solomon his father while he yet lived, and said, How do ye advise that I may answer this people?
7 And they spake unto him, saying, If thou wilt be a servant unto this people this day, and wilt serve them, and answer them, and speak good words to them, then they will be thy servants for ever.
8 But he forsook the counsel of the old men, which they had given him, and consulted with the young men that were grown up with him, and which stood before him:
BIBLE IN ONE YEAR: Ezekiel 41-43
MESSAGE:
At the generation shift programme organized by the Pentecostal Fellowship of Nigeria last year, I told my children that the elders have a lot to learn from them, but they must also realise that as tech-savvy, updated and trendy as they are, they do not know everything. My people say that what an elder sees sitting down, a child cannot see even if he climbs on a stool. However, I will go further to say that if the elder puts the child on his shoulder while standing, it’s most likely that the child will see what the elder sees.
By the grace of God, I have been on earth for a short while, and by the leading of the Holy Spirit, God has rescued many young people from untimely death, being cheated, problematic marriages, and future disasters because they listened to our wise counsels and acted on them. You can be very zealous for God, committed to His work and be growing solidly in faith, however, you will need wisdom to navigate the coming years because satan is not resting on his oars. I pray that you will remain victorious always in Jesus’ name.
ACTION POINT:
Ask God to lead you to a spiritual elder who will disciple and mentor you in your Christian walk

Take my life and let itConsecrated Lord to TheeTake my moment and my daysLet them flow ceaseless praise.
