Living is influencing not for self gratification. Yet living can not be stereotypic as there is no single way to how we all should serve our generation. Diversity is a necessity because we need a number of things to thrive and live a balanced life. For God’s kingdom to be fully expressed in every way, the manner in which we serve our generation must be different and this the Lord has made provision for. The Lord encaptured all his sons as a BODY ( joined to him as the head) to indicate that we are diverse things but with the same ultimate goal ( increase and perfection of all).
The best way to serve your generation is to do it by the will of God as it pertains to you. You don’t compare yourself with another man and put your feet in shoes that are not yours. God has laid down assignments for you at every season or phase of your life. When you and I take the right posture in alignment with what He requires us to do in our life seasons and we take responsibilities for it, be sure someone else is at the receiving end of your input. It doesn’t happen big at once but in bits by bits, you are influencing someone and serving your generation. The kingdom of God will grow, our life will thrive and the world will be better for it.
The way we tend to move with what is in vogue per time is not the best way to make tangible impact. In fact, this generation may have so many gaps unfilled and lifes imbalanced if we abandon our strategic positioning with proportionate functionality in destiny. As a son of God, wait on your assignment per time and seasons , pour self out on what he requires of you with his graces on your life and your potentials. There is no other better way to make your own impact and serve your generation but in the will of God for your life as an individual.
“For David, after he had SERVED his own generation by the WILL of God, fell on sleep, and was laid unto his fathers.” Acts 13:36
