| Bridging the gap – between generations Ezekiel 22:30 I looked for a man among them who would build up the wall and stand before me in the gap on behalf of the land so I would not have to destroy it, but I found none. Be that bridge that connects the different generations. Honestly, I believe that God has called us to be bridges that connect the many different generations. It saddens my heart when I see parents giving up on their children because of the generational gap. However, it also saddens my heart when I see children giving up on their parents, showing bad attitude because of the generational gap. Today, God wants us ALL to be that bridge. I believe that right now God is going to speak directly to us. Whether it is to adjust our lifestyles, adapt to the older/younger generation, or to sacrifice our own interest, God is going to tell us exactly what we need to do. I pray that we would obey God. My prayer is that no longer will there be any age gaps, but instead there with be “age bridgers.” © 2009 Lee Shaun Tzen. www.everynation.org.sg archive: www.shauntzen.blogspot.com |

| Bridging the gap – the lost sheep As we begin this new series on bridging the gap. It is vital and important how we view the lost. If we are not being used as bridges then are we not listening to God? Are we being disobedient? It is important that we don’t force the Bible down people’s throats and we learn to be relatable. If we are not careful and wise, we could deter people from knowing what a real relationship with God is like. However, doing nothing to me is far worst in my opinion. Standing in the gap allows the lost to find their way back home. Matthew 18:12-13 What do you think? If a man owns a hundred sheep, and one of them wanders away, will he not leave the ninety-nine on the hills and go to look for the one that wandered off? And if he finds it, I tell you the truth, he is happier about that one sheep than about the ninety-nine that did not wander off. God is happier about that one sheep that was found then the ninety-nine that never wandered off. Today, I hope that we can be that bridge in people’s lives. Especially to those that are lost in this world. © 2009 Lee Shaun Tzen. www.everynation.org.sg archive: www.shauntzen.blogspot.com |

| Lord we pray for faithfulness today. We pray that our children would be faithful and obedient to Your voice. Father, just as you spoke to Moses; we pray that our children would continue to draw closer to You so that they will be able to know Your voice. Father, we pray that our children would continue to humble their hearts. We pray that they would shake off the dust that blinds them for seeing and knowing everything that is of You. God almighty, as we speak right now there are many disobedient children who are scared, fearful, and are wasting their lives away chasing after false dreams. Today, we pray that You would open their eyes to see what a real dream in life is like. Lord, teach us, humble us, and we pray that the Lord’s hand would never be too short to discipline. In Jesus name we pray, amen. © 2009 Lee Shaun Tzen | Father, we pray for every marriage today. We thank you that You are in control.

Help us to be wise in our words. For those that have tongues that spit poison out, we pray that the Lord’s hand would bind their mouths, and only words that encourage, lift up, and restore shall be spoken. We thank you Lord. We pray that marraiges would change today, because of You. |

| Bridging the gap In this new series titled, bridging the gap. I believe that God is going to propel us into action. There is no point being a “perfect” Christian if we are not doing something that bridges the gap. In this world there are many gaps that separate us from God. In this lifetime we have the ability to make a difference and God wants to use us. In the future, we are 100% guaranteed to face many gaps and many holes that separate us from God. But are we going to be the bridge? Today, God is challenging each one of us to be that bridge in people’s lives that they may know what a personal relationship with God is like. It is not about forcing people to be Christians. It is not about how many get “saved” and go to church. It is all about being a bridge in people’s lives so that they can have a personal and real relationship with God. Isaiah 59:1-2 Surely the arm of the Lord is not too short to save, nor His ear too dull to hear. But your iniquities have separated you from your God; your sins have hidden His face from you, so that He will not hear. These verses are the foundation of this new series. Why are we not being a bridge in people’s lives? And how can we begin to be that link? © 2009 Lee Shaun Tzen. www.everynation.org.sg archive: www.shauntzen.blogspot.com |
