1.
2. Who we do not want to be:
-Joshua
-Hezekiah
Who we do want to be:
-The Men of the Isaachar
-Asaph
-Paul
3. Hezekiah’s Problem
Then Hezekiah said to Isaiah, "The word
of the LORD that you have spoken is
good." For he thought, "Why not, if
there will be peace and security in my
days?“ (2 Kings 20:19)
Hezekiah did not care.
4. Joshua’s Problem
7 And the people served the LORD all the days
of Joshua, and all the days of the elders who
outlived Joshua, who had seen all the great
work that the LORD had done for Israel. ...
So far so good…
5. Joshua’s Problem
10 And all that generation also were gathered
to their fathers. And there arose another
generation after them who did not know the
LORD or the work that he had done for Israel.
(Judges 2:7,10)
Joshua did not create a culture of investing in
the next generation, so it did
not happen.
6. The Men of Isaachar
Of Issachar, men who had understanding
of the times, to know what Israel ought
to do, 200 chiefs, and all their kinsmen
under their command.
(1 Chronicles 12:32)
They understood the times and had the
conviction to do right.
7. Asaph
We will not hide them from their
children, but tell to the coming
generation the glorious deeds of the
LORD, and his might, and the wonders
that he has done. (Psalm 78:4)
He created a culture of investing in the
coming generation.
8. Paul
11 Command and teach these things. 12
Let no one despise you for your youth…
(1Timothy 4:11-12a)
He used various constructs in order to
invest in the next generation.
9. If…
-We do not have the conviction…
-We do not create the culture…
-We do not use various constructs…
Then…
- We will not reach the younger
