But I think that most of you see the feeding part and that's going to continue. The two main things I do are lead and feed.
"'.that the congregation of the LORD may not be like sheep which have no shepherd.'"Īnd we talk about lead and feed. "'Let the LORD, the God of the spirits of all flesh, set a man over the congregation, who may go out before them and go in before them'", in other words, he leads by example, "'who may lead them'", this is very important, "'who may lead them out and bring them in, that the congregation of the LORD.'" I just want you to notice whose church Gateway is. Even though I and the elders have prayed about it and gone through a process, it needs to be God. "Then Moses spoke to the LORD, saying: 'Let the LORD.'" Now, this is important because the person that God sets in, it needs to be God setting the person in. It'll shock you, but let me share this scripture with you. I've been praying about this for years, and I'll share with you in a moment how many years I've been praying. So, let me share with you just a couple of scriptures, a couple of passages. And I'm talking about spiritual DNA that God put in me, that the church will carry on like it is, the vision and the values and the spiritual DNA that has drawn you here and caused you to say, Yes, I can get behind this local church and be a part of it. All he's got to do is get us to pass it to someone that doesn't have the same DNA that God put in me. And we have gone through such warfare in the last five years because Satan knows that all he's got to do is get us to pass it to the wrong person and Gateway Church ceases to exist as it is. Most churches that are like ours, that are founded by an individual, only last one generation.
So the title of the message is A Generational Church. And so, you're here on a very special service. So, I'm letting you know, but I'm going to let you know that I and the elders have gone through a process, and I'm going to name my successor today.

You are here today on a very, very special day because I just finished a ten-week, ten-message series on Dream to Destiny, Joseph, and today I'm going to share with you about the future and I'm going to share with you where we're going and about the succession process.
