Pastor-Passionate - Church of God of Prophecy

the essentials of the faith while honoring
the vital need for contextualized
ministerial preparation in different areas
of the world. A global ecclesia as the
COGOP has the challenge of a field, or
world, which is becoming quite diversified
and complex and in which an array of
methods and tools must be forged to
maximize a leadership development plan.
Conclusion
May the next Kairos generation look
back at the present/past generation
and say that they were raised up by
the former generation to be better
than they, and for the next generation
to become better than they think that
they can be. May it be said by the
future generation that the present/
past generation in their finest hour
transmitted that the fear of God is the
beginning of wisdom and that “. . . when
one rules over men in righteousness,
when he rules in the fear of God, he is

like the light of morning at sunrise on a
cloudless morning, like the brightness
after rain that brings the grass from the
earth” (2 Samuel 23:3, 4 NIV).
May the next generation bring forth
greater light and a greater harvest of
souls into the wondrous experience of
the Cross of Christ. I stand in awe and
wonder as I travel worldwide and see
the teeming souls who do not care or
have any interest or love for God, and in
this wonderment, I remember, “For God
so loved the world that he gave his one
and only Son, that whoever believes in
him shall not perish but have eternal
life” (John 3:16 NIV).
May the next generation, when
faced with difficult times, remember
a humanity song about crossing over
troubled waters, for the bridge was
built to withstand troubled waters, and
for them to keep sailing on. We are
behind them with hopes and aspirations
that the kairos next generation will see
further, reach further, and be better,
for they are standing on the shoulders
of the present/past generation. Come,
Holy Spirit, be our guide. Grant it,
Lord Jesus.
