New Generation Fellowship

Devotees of Christ, Paul urges us to teach all men about the life of Christ. Too many of us are selfish, willing to quietly believe and not get our hands dirty in attempts to make others believe. Paul got his hands dirty and ended up paying with his life. Do you think he regrets any of it now that he is sitting in heaven with God? Its oir turn to spread the good news of our Lord Jesus, especially these very tough days we live.

Lord in heaven, I must honor Your commandments and join You in the afterlife. I have been silent too often, Abba Father, unwilling to discuss my faith with You for fear of alienating others or for sounding arrogant. Why would I not share the most precious loving relationship that I have ever known? I am certainly a fool, forgive me. Today, with this prayer, I ask myself and You, powerful God, to aid us the New Generation Fellowship in our journey, and I hope that we can aid others in theirs, on our quest for everlasting life In Christ Jesus, Amen.

Shalom! New Generation Fellowship
Psalm 112:4

‘Even in darkness light dawns for the upright, for those who are gracious and compassionate and righteous.’

- Life is a series of seasons through which we pass, different and varying seasons.
- Some seasons are filled with light, hope and positive expectations like when you set up a business, or see your daughter or son grow into a youth, or get married etc.
- Some seasons are difficult and it is like going through a storm, but with faith we keep going.
- No matter what we go through, His light will arise on us as we follow Him, for his Mercy endures forever, His Love is unfailing, unconditional, lets not forget he has our master plan, the blue prints of our lives.

PRAYER: Lord, thank You for the promise of Your light in our lives, a promise you have not forgotten or broken. No amount of darkness can extinguish the light that comes from You, for you are the light of men. I ask that You will flood our life with Your light this year, that we may sprout and come out of the covid situation more focused and stronger, better believers and your good humble servants, in the name of Jesus. Amen.

Have a great weekend brethren.

Shalom! Shalom!
Psalm 37:5

‘Commit your way to the LORD; Trust in Him also and He will do it.’

- There comes a time when we need to let go and let God take over.
- It is a time when we give in and surrender ourselves completely to Him.
- When we reach this place of complete surrender then we can enjoy peace.
- As we release our ways into His hands, He can bring about His purposes.

PRAYER: Lord, I commit my life, my future, and my ways and every one on this platform to You today. I will trust You and that trust gives me the hope and expectation that You will work in my and every new generation member's situation, for your Glory and your Kingdom, in Jesus' name, Amen.

Have a blessed day

Continuation...
Therefore, his father came out and pleaded with him. So, he answered and said to his father, ‘Lo, these many years I have been serving you; I never transgressed your commandment at any time; and yet you never gave me a young goat, that I might merry with my friends. But as soon as this son of yours came, who has devoured your livelihood with harlots, you killed the fatted calf for him.’ “And he said to him, ‘Son, you are always with me, and all that I have is yours. It was right that we should make merry and be glad, for your brother was dead and is alive again, and was lost and is found.’”
The parable of the prodigal son is the most familiar and beloved of all Christ’s parables. It is one of the longest and most detailed parables. And unlike most parables, it has more than one lesson. The prodigal is an example of sound repentance. The elder brother illustrates the wickedness of most of our self-righteousness, prejudice, and indifference toward repenting sinners.
Our reading today has two sons, both suffering from an anxiety issue. The younger suffers from; Fear of missing Out, feeling that there was more to life “out” there than “in” here, he leaves to seek out the good times, to live in the fast lane, and to be in control of his own destiny. The older son suffers from; Fear of Messing Up. He feels that he’s “never” strayed, but has “always” worked hard and obeyed the rules.
Perhaps we can relate to both boys. Maybe we left God our Father for the “busy-ness” of life, going for the glamour of riches or prestige. Or maybe we’re plodding along in our church attendance out of a sense of guilt. Yet, in both instances, we’re left with feelings of emptiness, frustration, and insecurity. What’s missing? The Gospel!
The father pictures God, eager to forgive, and longing for the return of the sinner. The main feature, however, is the joy of God, the celebrations that fill heaven when a sinner repents.Father, as you welcome me, help me to welcome others. Amen
