The old generation (the fathers) should not be discouraged or lose hope thinking they are no longer fit for the next move of God’s agenda on earth, and the new generation (the children) should not overrate themselves because of their great strength, especially now that knowledge is increasing in their time, but rather they should learn to receive instruction and godly counsel for maturity.
God is not going to raise His army for the next move either from the old generation or the new generation of believers, but He is going to raise His army from both generations. Both generations have their roles in God’s agenda. In God’s eternal programme and ongoing warfare, the fathers and children are all going to be part of God’s formidable army.
From the old generation will come forth a group of Joshuas and Calebs, who have been discipled in Christ by the Word of God, grounded in faith that works by love. These ones will train and lead the New Generation to develop the spiritual capacity to conquer both physical and spiritual territories as declared by the Spirit of Prophecy.
Before this great move, there would first be a revolution that will bring the old generation and the new generation together in the spirit of oneness. The old generation will give attention to listening to the new generation and see their importance as part of those God is using to build His Kingdom, and this move will humble the new generation to honour the old generation to receive counsel from them to grow up in the faith of Christ and to develop capacity for victory.
This revolution is what is best called “THE MALACHI REVOLUTION OF UNIFICATION”.
“Behold, I will send you Elijah the prophet before the great and terrible day of the Lord comes. And he shall turn and reconcile the hearts of the [estranged] fathers to the [ungodly] children, and the hearts of the [rebellious] children to [the piety of] their fathers [a reconciliation produced by repentance of the ungodly], lest I come and smite the land with a curse and a ban of utter destruction.” (Malachi 4:5-6 AMP)
The war between the fathers and children will be put to an end. Because the fathers want to be honoured, and the children want to be heard. This revolution will bring a reconciliation that will make the fathers listen to the children, and this will bring the children to humility in honouring the fathers. This reconciliation will bring great harmony to the Body of Christ.
Who will make the first move, to bring about this great reconciliation, the fathers or the children? The move towards this great reconciliation will start from the fathers, according to Malachi 4:6. The fathers (old generation) will first turn their hearts to the children, and the children will have no option but to do the same. For this to happen, God will first raise a group of people (the Elijahs), who will initiate this great revolution. They will declare the counsel of the Lord by the Holy Spirit, to prepare the hearts of the fathers and children for this revolution. After this revolution, the kingdom of darkness will shake, and Christ the King will recover more grounds (the hearts of men) to enlarge His realm of dominion for His coming reign on earth. The Lord Jesus Christ will reign as the great King, and both the fathers and the children will reign as princes, exercising the dominion of God’s righteousness on earth (Isaiah 32:1). Selah!
