GODPARENTS NEEDED!!!
This was birthed through a couple of conversations with man and woman of God who see what’s going on. Godparents are spiritually responsible for the Godchildren but we have watered down the position to a nice title to give close friends of the family. It’s time to re-establish the standard they are supposed to hold.
Judges 2:10 “After that whole generation had been gathered to their fathers, another generation grew up, who knew neither the Lord nor what he had done for Israel.”
There is a generation that is wandering around aimlessly that is in desperate need of guidance. For whatever reason, the generation that came before them did not show them the way that they should go and now they are considered a lost generation. It is said that this same generation will be the one to usher in Christ. With that said, there is a desperate need of those who pray the prayer of Samson’s father, “teach us how to bring up the boy..”. Lord teach us how to bring up this generation!
Spiritual orphans. They have been left by their parents (or the generation that came before them) to fend for themselves. Godparents are needed, like Mordecai, to take them under our care and train them in the way they should go. We can’t complain about what their parents did not do but realize their potential and bring it forth. Raise a generation of Esther’s; they are all being brought to the Kingdom for this hour.
This is more than discipleship; we must embrace them and equip them like our own. We don’t just get them saved but we must raise them, stay with them to maturity.
Mordecai did not know he was raising a queen that would save a nation, he was faithful to what God entrusted to him. We must prove faithful. You don't know what you could be raising up when you pour into a young person. You plant the seed and be faithful and let God handle the results.
We must pray against the Delilah of the Nazarite generation. Delilah caused Samson to become bound in something that led to his premature death. (I know some believe that he died as God purposed but Delilah was his weakness). We must also pray against the Jezebel spirit, one that puts a wet blanket on the fire of a generation. We have to be very mindful of their relationships, at all cost protect their fire.
We are called to rise up a generation that walks with godly character. Training must be strict; there is no room for compromise. Those who had them before compromised and dropped them, crippling most like Mephibosheth. Don’t put them in the hands of just anybody.Let us not raise a generation that does not know God and what he has done. Count up the cost and begin to adopt these Spiritual Orphans. No previous experience necessary, just a heart of the Father and for this generation.
