You're A President/Father of Many Nations
We've established yesterday that One man has the capacity to double the entire population of Nigeria .
Now, what does that make you? It makes you a leader, Yorubas would call you 'olori ebi'. Put differently, it makes you a President, a Father of Many Nations. That isn't just a title, its a grave responsibility conferred on you.
Do you know that Presidents speak with caution, they do not treat people roughly, they comport themselves before, during and after they've assumed and completed their term in office. President Bush was probed while in power because of a scandal in the white house about an alleged sexual assault. That created a picture of the lack of integrity on the part of the President of a world power like the USA. Leadership confers authority and influence to get things done. But whatever a President does is always in the best interest of the people he leads and not for his own selfish interest. You're not different!
Now, you as a young man, know that you're the President of Nations yet unborn, you're carrying the seeds of people the world has not yet seen, people with great and immense potential coming to fulfill a great Purpose on earth. Wouldn't you want to create a good platform for them to stand on?? You're leading your generation. How good would it sound if your grandchildren heard that you impregnated several ladies while you were young? Or rendered many women 'Wombless' in a bid to hide your wrong doings?
What legacy is there in that??
Abraham our Father of Faith, fell into Sin with Hagar, the results are there today. Whatever you do as a man affects the generations after you. This is because you're the carrier of the Seed (the Sperms). You're the President of your Generation. Set high- standards and precedents for the unborn. See what God told Abraham "Neither shall thy name any more be called Abram, but thy name shall be Abraham; for a FATHER of MANY NATIONS have I made thee"- Genesis 17:5
I love asking questions and usually I ask youths and teens when I first meet them. I'd ask: Would the man/woman you hope to become be proud of the youth you are today? It's a Personal Question. Get Answers!
ACTION POINT
1. What are the things you're doing Today that wouldn't add positively to the lives of those coming through you.
2. Take steps today to address them. God wants you to leave a lasting legacy for your children's children.
3. Map out plans on things you need to start doing today that would make a positive impact on the lives of the generations yet unborn.
Pray:
Lord help me to think Generationally and to take actions that would affect my generation positively in Jesus Name.
