No One Left Behind - Transgenerational Salvation

2 Peter 3 : 9 ;Acts 4:12; Acts 16:31; Acts 2:38; Deuteronomy 6:4-9; 6:20-24;Isaiah 8:18;isaiah 54:13; Colossians 2:9
Dear Friend,
No one left behind includes your children, grand children, nieces, nephews, and every single one of the next generation. Sometimes it is very tempting to think that our children are too young to grasp the truth. Even if we tried to reach them we limit our selves to sharing plain bible stories with no intention of bringing them to a place of understanding. God expects us to do more than that .He wants us to establish a strong foundation in their heart so that no circumstances will be able to move them from their place in Him. If we begin to look at them from the fact that they are also spirits just as we are, then we realize that, they are able to receive it. The bible confirms this fact by informing us that even the gift of the baptism of the Holy Spirit is not only reserved for adults only but children as well. Whoever believes!

As we have already mentioned, like their adults counterparts ,children will not be faithful followers of Christ if they only have mere intellectual knowledge of God. Since they are spirits it will take spiritual understanding of God to be truly converted. They must be taught systematically and consistently in a way that targets their spirit so they will know God and do exploits wherever they may be. Once they are grounded in their spirit, their lives will evidence Christ. The Lord desires every believer to be for signs and wonders. Our children must be able to believe God for themselves so they can enjoy supernatural results. Daniel and his friends were seen to be ten times better than their peers physically, intellectually, and socially because they had taken time to be grounded in God’s truth. As a result of the fact that they were grounded spiritually they remained faithful to God despite very horrifying and challenging circumstances.

How do we do this. First and foremost we must accept the fact that anything or situation that is less than the expectation from the word is unacceptable. It is the responsibility of every one to sacrifice for their children or next generation, no matter the price we have to pay. Every believer must make transfers to the next generation. We must clearly communicate who Jesus is ,what He has done through redemption and what He requires of us as believers. There should be absolute loyalty .God gives us an effective prescription that will facilitate these processes in Deuteronomy chapter 6.Which protects them from the Media influences in their generation. Every aspect of our interaction with the next generation should point them to God. I believe if we do it God’s way and not what is convenient to us, our children will enjoy great peace with God in their lives. They will not be a concern to us anymore.

God desires every one in your household to be saved. Whether they are children or adults, when they believe on the Lord Jesus Christ they will be saved.
