Good morning and God bless you all ...
Beloved, what manner of love the Father hath bestowed
upon us, that we should be called the sons of God:
therefore the world knoweth us not, because it knew him
not. 1 John 3:2.
When John the beloved pondered on the fact that
believers in Christ are children of God, he could not stop
wondering how privileged they were to be so-called
(1 John 3:2). Apostle Peter expounded the implication of
the adoption we received through Jesus Christ: "But ye
are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, an holy nation,
a peculiar people; that ye should shew forth the praises of
him who hath called you out of darkness into his
marvelous light:" 1 Peter 2:9.
Characteristic of a Peculiar Generation
There are many thighs that characterize a peculiar
generation.
- A peculiar generation is the generation of those who
seek God (Psalm 24:6). - A peculiar generation is the generation of those who
have obtained mercy and through it have become
solution providers and barrier breakers. - They are an unstoppable group of God's children.
We have a good number of them in the Bible. For example
Joseph belonged to the peculiar generation who would
not compromise godliness and perfect loyalty to God
(Genesis 39:7-9). - A peculiar generation is that generation of solution
providers like Daniel, Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego
(Daniel 2:17-19).
How to Belong to the Generation
To belong to the generation, you must be ready to seek God
in the midst of ungodly people (2 Chrinthians 6:17-18).
Rejection of Peculiar Generation
In the 21st century, there are those who have decided to
treat the Bible as outdated literature. Such do not see
witchcraft, sorcery and sexual perversion such as
homosexuality as evil.
They explain apostolic teachings as inconsequential.
Such are the people the peculiar generation must not
associate themselves with. Although the peculiar
generation might be marginalised, they are undeterred.
One good thing about them is that they never suffer defeat,
not even when demonic people try to attach them,
because the Bible i Numbers 23:23' says: "Surely there is
no enchantment against Jacob, neither is there any
divination against Israel:"
Out Pouring Prayer
I pray that you will choose to belong to this peculiar
generation of people who seek God at such a time like
this: when it is no longer popular to live by the principles
of the old Holy Scriptures.
May God bless you as you decide to belong today in
Jesus Name.
Personal Prayer Point
Father, help me to remain steadfast in the midst of a
crooked and perverse generation.
