Good -Life Devotional: THE GENERATION THAT DOES NOT KNOW GOD

By Rev Michael Benson Ajayi 

   Judges 2:10-14 describes a tragic cycle in Israel’s history. After Joshua’s generation passed away, a new generation arose that did not know the Lord or His works. Instead of following God’s commands, they turned to idol worship, provoking the Lord’s anger. This downfall happened because their parents failed to teach them God’s laws, as commanded in Deuteronomy 6:7.

   Similarly, today’s Christian families are facing a spiritual crisis. Many parents reject biblical ethics and rebel against their pastors, setting a poor example for their children. As a result, children grow up without a solid foundation in the faith. Instead of worshiping God, they idolize materialism, wealth, and worldly success—forms of modern-day idolatry. Colossians 3:5 warns that covetousness is idolatry, and when materialism replaces spirituality, the consequences are devastating.

    Idol worship opens doors to destruction. In Judges, God allowed spoilers to oppress Israel because of their rebellion. Today, we see similar consequences—families are breaking apart, crime is increasing, and society is crumbling due to a generation that does not know God. Without biblical values, children lack moral direction, leading to widespread societal decay.

However, there is hope. Hosea 6:1 calls us to return to the Lord, promising that He will heal and restore us. Parents must take responsibility to teach their children about Christ, fostering a home filled with the gifts and fruits of the Holy Spirit. Only by turning back to God can we raise a generation that truly knows and follows Him.

  In our daily prayers we should seek a healthy appetite for God's word for our families and unity in the faith.

 PRAYER: Heavenly Father forgive me of my sins against you I believe Jesus Christ died and was raised again for my salvation I receive him as lord and saviour and receive the Holy Spirit and power to overcome idol worship.
