 The Generation That Has Lost Its Way

By Oluwatimileyin Felix Ajagbe

Introduction

We live in a time where truth has become relative, holiness is mocked, and identity is confused. A generation so connected online, yet disconnected from eternal purpose. We have access to more information than ever before yet we suffer from a crisis of direction. This is the generation that has lost its way.

But how did we get here? And more importantly, how do we return?

1. Truth Has Been Traded for Trends

 “For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine… but after their own lusts shall they heap to themselves teachers, having itching ears.” 2 Timothy 4:3 (KJV)

We now live in a culture that prioritizes likes over light, and influence over integrity. The voice of God has been drowned by the noise of opinions. Biblical truth is no longer the compass—feelings are. But feelings are faulty; only God's Word remains unchanging.

2. Purpose Has Been Replaced by Performance

We measure value by visibility. The more you are seen, the more you are celebrated even if your soul is dying in private. Many are building platforms but losing their principles. We perform for applause but forget our assignment.

 “For what shall it profit a man, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul?”  Mark 8:36 (KJV)

This generation is busy, but not always fruitful. We have mistaken movement for meaning.

3. We Have Forsaken the Ancient Paths

 “Thus saith the Lord, Stand ye in the ways, and see, and ask for the old paths… and ye shall find rest for your souls.” Jeremiah 6:16 (KJV)

There is a beauty in the old paths prayer, fasting, consecration, and holiness. But we have traded them for convenience and cultural Christianity. We want the crown without the cross. We desire glory without surrender.

Revival tarries because repentance is absent. We are quick to talk about grace but slow to talk about godliness.

4. Identity Is Being Redefined Without the Creator

This is a generation plagued by confusion gender confusion, moral confusion, and spiritual confusion. Why? Because we are trying to define ourselves apart from our Maker.

 “Know ye that the Lord he is God: it is he that hath made us, and not we ourselves.”  Psalm 100:3 (KJV)

Without the Creator, creation loses meaning. Until we return to God, we will keep searching in empty places for identity, worth, and direction.

5. The Call to Return

Despite the darkness, there is hope. God has not given up on this generation. The same God who called Israel back to Himself is still calling today:

“If my people… shall humble themselves, and pray… then will I hear from heaven…” 2 Chronicles 7:14 (KJV)

The path back is not complex it begins with repentance. It begins with men and women who will choose the narrow road, who will walk in truth, love, and holiness, even if they must walk alone.

Conclusion

We are a generation with potential, yet in danger. We’ve lost our way—not because the path disappeared, but because we’ve strayed from it. The time has come to realign, to return to the altar, and to rediscover the God who never moved.

The world doesn’t need a louder Church. It needs a purer one.

Let us be that generation—bold, broken, and burning for truth.

Reflection Question

Are you walking in the way of culture or the way of Christ?

MAKING EFFECTIVE RESOLUTION

NEW YEAR RESOLUTION Are you making a resolution in the new year?  Warning: More than half of all resolutions fail, but this year, they don’t have to be yours. Here’s how to identify the right resolution to improve your life, create a plan on how to reach it, and become part of the small group of people that successfully achieve their goal. 1. Pick the Right Resolution You’ll give yourself your best shot at success if you set a goal that’s doable — and meaningful too. A lot of these resolutions fail because they’re not the right resolutions. And a resolution may be wrong for one of three main reasons: - It’s a resolution created based on what someone else (or society) is telling you to change.  - It’s too vague. - You don’t have a realistic plan for achieving your resolution. Your goals should be smart — and SMART. That’s an acronym coined in the journal Management Review in 1981 for specific, measurable, achievable, relevant and time-bound. It may work for management, but it c...

Christian Living in a Perverse World

Title: Christian Living in a Perverse World By Oluwatimileyin Felix Ajagbe INTRODUCTION In today’s society, living a godly life is no easy task. The world around us celebrates immorality, mocks righteousness, and promotes ideologies that are in direct opposition to the teachings of Jesus Christ. Yet, the calling of every believer remains unchanged—to live as a light in the midst of darkness and to represent Christ faithfully. This article explores what it means to live as a Christian in a perverse world and how believers can stand firm without compromise. 1. The Reality of a Perverse World A perverse world is one that has distorted truth, redefined morality, and normalized sin. The Bible warns us of such times: “Woe unto them that call evil good, and good evil…” — Isaiah 5:20 (KJV) From entertainment to politics, ungodly principles are increasingly accepted. Apostle Paul described the last days as perilous times, marked by self-love, rebellion, and spiritual decay (2 Timothy 3:1–5, KJV...
