MAY ALL WHO COME BEHIND US, FIND US FAITHFUL BY OLUWABUNMI AREGBESOLA
Whosoever has served in one capacity or the other as a leader before will understand that how we led the team has a way of reflecting in our successor in the future. Consciously or unconsciously, we are contributing something to our generation either it is positive or negative.
What will be said of us when our generation is passed? Will they not tell stories of our unfaithfulness while in service?
There are some patriarchs of faith that have passed on but their works speak after them. If they had lived carelessly, we won't dare refer to them today.
We all remember the story of Paul the Apostle for good today. If you see any Christian not reading his epistles, such will not be able to understand new creation realities. He was confident to say after his whole journey "I have finished my course."
Who won't remember the story of Dinah? she passed her boundary to visit the daughters of the land and she was defiled. She doesn't have a good legacy to pass to on to the female youths who desire to live rightly in this generation.
I read some authors who are deceased. When I pick up their books, I feel they are alive due to the message their books pass to me. I can't forget in a moment the encounters I have through their books.
Sincerely, each time I see youths living negligently, I know they are ignorant of time, they are ignorant that they don't have all the time, they have no idea that some are behind them,secretly following their footprints. They quickly forget that their generation will soon be rolled away.
When will people remember us and their passion for God will be ignited?
When will the people coming behind us find the path that we have trod to light their ways?
Can the footprints which we have left, lead them to believe?
Can the lives we have lived, inspire them to obey God?
Can our lives encourage the weary ones?
O may all who come behind us, find us faithful!
May the fire of our devotion light their ways.
May the footprints that we leave, lead them to believe.
May the lives we live, inspire them to obey.
O may all who come behind us, find us faithful!
