Many young people nowadays don’t have someone mature who can be their role model/mentor. Oftentimes, parents or those who are older than them do not become a good example for them to follow. Peter commanded the elders of the church to be shepherds of God’s flock (1 Peter 5).

As the leader of a congregation, one must have an honorable character, and especially, he/she must earn the respect of his/her own children (1 Tim 3:1-16). The grandmother of Timothy, named Lois, was a good role model for her daughter, Eunice, who later also became a good example for Timothy to follow. As a result, Timothy became one of the best assistants to Apostle Paul and made a big impact on the Kingdom of God. Have we become a good role model for our young generation in words and action?

Bible Verses:

- Titus 2

- Ephesians 5:1-21

Prayer Points:

-  Pray that our lives reflect Jesus and don’t become a stumbling block to the younger generation

-  Pray that the older the generation can love and invest their lives into the young generation
