Who will stand up for this generation...?

Judges 3:7-10, 12, 15, 31 NKJV

So the children of Israel did evil in the sight of the Lord . They forgot the Lord their God, and served the Baals and Asherahs. Therefore the anger of the Lord was hot against Israel, and He sold them into the hand of Cushan-Rishathaim king of Mesopotamia; and the children of Israel served Cushan-Rishathaim eight years. When the children of Israel cried out to the Lord , the Lord  raised up a deliverer for the children of Israel, who delivered them: Othniel the son of Kenaz, Caleb’s younger brother. The Spirit of the Lord came upon him, and he judged Israel. He went out to war, and the Lord delivered Cushan-Rishathaim king of Mesopotamia into his hand; and his hand prevailed over Cushan-Rishathaim. And the children of Israel again did evil in the sight of the Lord . So the Lord strengthened Eglon king of Moab against Israel, because they had done evil in the sight of the Lord . But when the children of Israel cried out to the Lord , the Lord raised up a deliverer for them: Ehud the son of Gera, the Benjamite, a left-handed man. By him the children of Israel sent tribute to Eglon king of Moab. After him was Shamgar the son of Anath, who killed six hundred men of the Philistines with an ox goad; and he also delivered Israel.

Shalom! Day #136. Do you know that in every generation there's always a person God choses, trained them, and prepare them to deliver and to lead that generation? Let's pray. Father, we pray that as it was in the days of the old, raise up people that would run for You, stand for You,  lead this generation for You. Lord, that You would prepare them and train them for this cause. In Jesus name we ask and pray, amen!

Who will stand in the gap for this generation? The plans of God has always been a man or woman. Since the beginning until today, the Lord needs a man or a woman that would say, "here I am Lord, send me." The Lord is looking for those who would willingly give themselves for the call of God,  to stand for this generation. In this generation,  we need either to stand or pray that God would raise up someone. The best thing is, we give ourselves to God so that He can use us. This verse today, we can see how God raised up man after another to continue to lead and stand for the generation after Joshua. This three men, Othniel, Ehud and Shamgar shares one common thing which is, they were handpicked by God and the Lord uses them to deliver the Israelites. There's a cry in each generation for repentance. A generation that went on their wicked ways, and when God's anger was upon that generation, there was a cry of repentance from within that generation.

Your life isn't for you but it's for the generations to come. What you do in this lifetime makes an impact to the generations to come. A person with a different spirit is a person who doesn't care what people may say about them, but wholly be given unto God for His purposes. A person with a different spirit has something different in them. They don't think like anybody else, they don't talk like anybody else, they don't do things like anybody else. A person with a different spirit will not flow according to what is happening in their generation and surroundings,  but will stand up for the cause and began to do something. The was a cry in the Israelites generation and God heard that cry and God raised up a man to lead the generation. Who will deliver this generation from their wicked ways? It's you and I. Make your decision today. Either you stand with God for this generation,  or die like the rest.

Let this day be the day of the Lord!
