If you listen carefully to the secular media and the education elite, you'll find a great

deal of emphasis on children. And you say, well, Michael, it's not good. Not necessarily.

Not necessarily. That's why I said if you listen carefully.

Because their agenda is not the well-being of children, but the indoctrination of children with their propaganda.

Their agenda is not the wholeness of children, but the brainwashing of them with their own humanistic doctrine.

Their aim is not the success of the child, but rather what they call a child feeling good

about himself or herself.

Now, sadly, there are well-meaning churches

that have adopted this deadly approach.

Listen to me, please.

When the main emphasis is on significance and not the Savior,

when the main emphasis is on pride and not salvation, when the

main emphasis is on independence and not dependence on God, when the main emphasis is on believing

in the children, and not the children believing in God, when the main emphasis

is on the children believing in themselves alone, then that could not be very good for the future

of the children.

In the last message, I pointed to you from Psalm 127, how the next generation, how the children are the heritage of the Lord.

Not necessarily as with the Lord's.

We saw how God wants us to pray for the next generation so that they may grow up to be errors in the hand of the Almighty God.

We saw how it is only in knowing God and developing intimacy with God on the knees of prayer

on behalf of the next generation where we see results and answers to prayer.

And therefore, the intercession for the next generation is of vital importance.
