  “ That the generation to come might know them, The children who would be born, That they may arise and declare them to their children, That they may set their hope in God, And not forget the works of God, But keep His commandments; And may not be like their fathers, A stubborn and rebellious generation, A generation that did not set its heart aright, And whose spirit was not faithful to God. ” Psalms 78 : 6 - 8 NKJV It is often said that true success in life and ministry is not measured by the metrics of a leader’s present performances, but by the treatment of the mantle left behind to others. And in our era of social media and advances in the digital age, the burden in this definition of true success for father-Christmas fathers is astronomical.

However, finding a solution to the problem requires taking responsibility toward hope for our generation. Unfortunately, our homes, institutions, and societies are losing men with hopeful hearts, by their strategic adoption of lawlessness as a learning curriculum. Where the teaching of morality and good ethics are gradually being expunged from school curricula, workplace’s code of conduct, and home etiquette; it has no longer become fashionable for people to promote the path of righteousness in the public place. Whereas, Jesus remains the hope for our generation; and those who chose to hope ...
