Topic: Living As A Generational Problem Solver [28 July 2018]
Scripture: Ye are the light of the world. A city that is set on an hill cannot be hid. Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven.Matthew 5:14,16
Thought For The Day: The responsibility you handle today positions you for the possibilities, opportunities and authority you will experience tomorrow.
A major way to make the most of life is to live as a generational problem Solver.
Living as a generational problem solver involves deploying oneself to solving generational problems and challenges confronting society at large. A person’s life today is a seed for the harvest of tomorrow. The actions of today position a person for the manifestations of tomorrow.
David was a very good example of a generational problem solver. While his elder brothers were idling about, David tended the father’s flock in the wilderness. If David had refused to take charge of his father’s business, he would not have amounted to anything in life just like the rest of his siblings. If David was not interested in tending his father’s flock, probably, none of his brothers would have done it. He was the last born of the family who should have been pampered and protected by all but his brothers pushed him to the bush to face lions and bears. Despite that, he made up his mind to take the family’s responsibility as a child. That responsibility he took exposed him to the experience of killing the lion and the bear, and that was a stepping stone to killing Goliath.
There are many people who are handling the responsibilities that their elder ones are meant to handle. They handle things bigger than their age. My counsel is, do not complain because the responsibility you handle today positions you for the possibilities, opportunities and authority you will experience tomorrow.
So, what you do today for a family or a community qualifies you for what God would use you to do for a nation or nations tomorrow. Please deploy yourself to serving God and humanity as a generational problem solver.
Remember this: The responsibility you handle today positions you for the possibilities, opportunities and authority you will experience tomorrow.
