THE GENERATION THAT NEEDS REPENTANCE

TEXT 1: Proverb 30:11-14 “11 There is a generation that curseth their father, and doth not bless their mother. 12 There is a generation that are pure in their own eyes, and yet is not washed from their filthiness. 13 There is a generation, O how lofty are their eyes! And their eyelids are lifted up. 14 There is a generation, whose teeth are as swords and their jaw teeth as knives, to devour the poor from off the earth, and the needy from among men”.
TEXT 2: Genesis 6:5-7 “5.And God saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth, and that every imagination of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually. 6. And it repented the LORD that he had made man on the earth, and it grieved him at his heart. 7. And the LORD said, I will destroy man whom I have created from the face of the earth; both man, and beast, and the creeping thing, and the fowls of the air; for it repenteth me that I have made them”.
TEXT 3: Deuteronomy 32:5 “They have corrupted themselves, their spot is not the spot of his children: they are a perverse and crooked generation”.
God made man in his own image and man was supposed to display the image of God. But this is not what is happening today. This generation is a generation that has forsaken their parents. Instead of blessing their parents, they curse their parents. Prov. 30:11. It is our responsibility to take care of our parents and the elderly in our midst. It is a law, for you to prosper and live long, you must honour your parents. We have a generation of people who exhibit outward holiness, but internally they are evil (hypocrites).
We have a generation of braggarts (do you know who I am?) even in the church of God; we have people who believe they are more religious than others. Those who believe they are even more than God. There are a lot of them today, even in the church, their teeth is sharper than sword. They are ready to destroy with their mouth.
 God does not want you to use your wisdom, wealth or privileges to oppress others. Rather He empowered you to help others. There are people today who honour God only in the church of God, but outside is a different thing (a perverse generation). A generation that perverse justice. You see right as wrong and wrong as right.
We have an indisciplined generation. A generation that has no respect for rules and regulations. We are a rebellious generation. One that does not honour God. Our body is here but our mind is somewhere else. That is what we see in the church today.
We have a faithless generation today in the church. Those who have lost confidence and trust in God. After service, they still visit native doctors. We need to repent; we need to ask God to forgive us because we don’t believe in him.
We have a generation of vipers, unfriendly friends. One that can kill his father, mother or relations for money (Mathew 23:33). In the church today, we see believers who appear calm and holy outwardly, but inside they are like vipers.
The next generation is an evil and adulterous generation. Generation who honour Satan other than God. Those who are in church just for what they can gain. Our prayer today in the church is no more a prayer to make heaven. Rather prayers of prosperity to acquire the whole world. Half of the church these days doesn’t think about life after death. That is a generation we are in today. We need to repent.
 A wicked generation. One that does not forgive. As believers, we are expected to forgive one another no matter what wrong is done to us. What a wicked, indisciplined, murderous, adulterous, hypocritical and rebellious generation.
We need to repent otherwise; the judgment of God is at hand.  May God help the church. Amen.
