Wake Up and Hear the Cry!!!
There is a cry that is being heard throughout the nation…young people…and some even older are coming to the realization that the very essence of their being is craving to be loved by a father…for someone who has a sense of true identity to steer their young soul in the direction that they should take.
That’s what has been lost today. Today we have a people who are all about self. The thought for today is “I gotta get mine!” It is this philosophy that has torn the fabric of our society to pieces. It is this philosophy that has caused the crime rate to rise at an overwhelming proportion. This way of thinking has taken us from being a blessed nation to a nation who is in jeopardy of having God turn His back on us. In the book of Malachi, God spoke and said that He’s going to send the spirit of Elijah and the spirit of Elijah is going to turn the hearts of the fathers’ to the children and the hearts of the children to the father’s, otherwise the earth would be hit with a curse.
This is the curse of today. Children, from the rejection of their father’s, in our society have lashed out into crime…drugs, murder, rape, money laundering, jealousy, and teenage pregnancy. Things are at such a level now that it’s going to take God and only God to step in and raise up men who are willing to love young people through their pain! I’m not talking about just any men, but men who are willing to become surrogate fathers and raise a generation.
This is why the cry for “fathers” is being echoed out all over the nation. The silence of men has gone on for far too long. We have allowed too much of the burden for raising our sons and daughters to be left to the mothers…and I don’t care how strong a woman is, God never ordained a woman to be both father AND mother. God is holding men accountable for the state of our society. He is going to cause us to answer as to why the crime rate is so high, why the prison population is bursting at the seams. God is going to bypass the women and He’s going to ask you and me what did we do to cause these horrific events to take place? Everything rises and falls on us as men! It’s time that we stop being silent and be the men that God has ordained for us to be. These young people are crying out for fathers…all they want is for someone to give them some direction, are you going to answer their call?
All most young people want is for someone, especially a man, to show some interest in him or her. They want to know that someone is proud of them…that someone is in their corner pulling for them, cheering them on. Just like, a child who plays a sport, there is nothing better than knowing that your dad is in the stands watching you play. There is a call going out across this nation for us to deal with our own individual mess, so that we can penetrate the hearts of our youth who feel that they have no one to turn to…no aim, ambition, no direction…no drive to go forward to a better day! How long will you sit around and keep going on with business as usual?
