24/7 DOXA Content, 18th November-AN ASSET TO YOUR GENERATION

GLORIOUS greetings Cherished one. One great lesson worthy of emulation in the life of Jesus Christ is that He was born for a purpose and He gloriously fulfilled it before ascending to heaven. It is worth living a purposeful life. Don’t just follow trends. This principle can be seen in the lives of the giants in the Holy Scriptures. *Great people are those who have fulfilled their divine purpose by blessing their generation.* Our focal text reveals that King David served God’s will, purpose and counsel in HIS GENERATION” before he fell asleep.

Another great example worthy of emulation was Joseph. He served his family and even the leaders and people in a foreign land (Egypt). However, the life of Joseph was different from that of Gehazi. Joseph faced severe test, trials and temptations but he didn’t allow any to stop him from achieving his godly purpose. He lived a glorious life because God’s presence was with him ( Genesis 39:2 ). God’s presence will help you live a purposeful life. Gehazi too was a great young man full of energy to serve his spiritual father and his generation beyond. But he had ambitions without vision and patience.

He had eyes and love for rewards without insight and discernment for different seasons of life (2 Kings 5:20-27). He wanted instant gratification and shortcuts to wealth instead of listening to his master (experienced spiritual father, Elisha). These characters typifies two generations of our time, one has time to wait on God and apply godly principles for success; the other wants to make it by all means even using the bad ways. Be an asset and serve God’s purpose and counsel in your generation. To serve means “to render services or minister in order to help others”. *This means they were not liabilities in their generation, but a glorious assets.* The rich grace of our Lord Jesus Christ abounds towards you always. Amen!
