We are living in a generation where many young people are lukewarm not because they don’t love God, but because they are trying to operate under two systems at the same time: the Kingdom of God and the system of the world.
This is dangerous. because these two systems contradict each other, and trying to live in both will rob you of true spiritual authority, wisdom, and fruitfulness. It will keep you in cycles of confusion, delay, compromise, and brokenness.
You cannot mix fire and water. You cannot mix light and darkness. You cannot mix Kingdom purity with worldly patterns.
The system of the world teaches young people that You can date casually, Fornicate freely, Have kids when you want, Marry if you feel like it, And if it doesn’t work, just co-parent or move on. But this is not God’s wisdom it is the wisdom of the world’s broken system, designed by Satan to destroy families, raise broken children, and recycle pain across generations. Why would you want that for yourswelf and children?
The Kingdom of God, on the other hand, teaches preparation, purity, covenant, and order. Yet many young people still try to serve both, going to church on Sunday, but indulging in the world’s ways throughout the week. They don’t realize that this double life is a trap. It produces spiritual blindness, powerlessness, and confusion about identity and purpose.
The Fear of the Lord: Where Wisdom Begins
The Bible says, “The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom.”
This means that true wisdom doesn’t come from age, books, followers, degrees, or street knowledge. It comes from honoring God deeply enough to surrender your desires, your body, your time, and your will to Him. And that starts in singlehood.
God designed singlehood to be a training ground — the place where He:
- Teaches you the secrets of the Kingdom,
- Imparts wisdom about marriage, parenting, and life,
- Equips you for covenant and legacy,
- Burns out impurities so your oil can be pure.
But if you fornicate in singlehood, or follow dating culture, and then marry or have children, what will you teach them? You can’t pass on a Kingdom you never submitted to. You can’t disciple your kids in truth if your own life was built on rebellion.
The Word says: “Train up a child in the way they should go…” But how can you train a child if you yourself were never trained by God?
The Enemy Doesn’t Wait
In the Kingdom of God, you don’t just have kids for the sake of having kids. You marry. You cover. You teach. You raise. You don’t drop them off at church while Disney, social media, and influencers disciple them the rest of the week.
You don’t raise children in fornication and then expect them to understand covenant. The enemy has deceived this generation into thinking singlehood is for self-exploration, sexual freedom, and “living your life.” He tells you to enjoy your youth, date around, sleep around, and “you’ll figure things out later.” Some even end up marrying the same people they fornicated with, thinking the wedding ring will cleanse the past
The devil didn’t attack Adam and Eve after they matured spiritually, he attacked them before they fully understood their authority. He came while they were still young in God. Adam had access to God daily, but the scriptures never show God explaining principalities, warfare, or deception to him yet. Why? Because Adam was still growing, still learning, still being fathered in Eden.
But Satan — already thrown out of Heaven, already full of rebellion — didn’t wait. He snuck in early and stole from Adam before Adam fully knew who he was. This is a warning. The enemy doesn’t wait for your children to grow up. He doesn’t care how old they are —as long as they’re unaware of their authority, he sees an open door. Just like he targeted Adam in innocence, the enemy targets your children. He enters through music, cartoons, “innocent” apps, social media, perverted education systems, and ungodly friendships. Before they’re even 13, he plants rebellion, confusion, lust, perversion, pride, and self-idolatry.
He raises children through TikTok and Instagram. Through Netflix and YouTube. Through school systems that glorify achievements without reverence. While parents are chasing money, children are learning two conflicting systems: the Kingdom of God and the system of the world — and their souls are confused.
A Generation Trained By Two Masters
Many parents today raise their children on two competing doctrines: Monday to Saturday: “Work hard, get rich, get famous, be a brand, manipulate the system, find your own truth.”
Sunday: “Fear the Lord, worship God, and pray.”
This mix of Kingdom and worldliness is producing lukewarm children — powerless, depressed, addicted, and spiritually dead. They don’t carry the authority to function in either system. They’re too compromised for the Kingdom and too righteous for the world.
This is spiritual sabotage. We see a generation of youth bound by lust, drugs, confusion, LGBTQ+ identity struggles, rebellion, and depression — not because they’re evil, but because they were never trained in truth. Parents exposed them to the world and softened it with religion. And now, they are spiritually powerless.
Singlehood is not a waiting room — it’s a war room. It’s the place where God teaches you:
- How to walk in purity
- How to handle covenant
- How to parent His way
- How to endure spiritual fire
- How to recognize the enemy’s voice
It is in singlehood that God gives you wisdom for marriage and wisdom for parenthood — and if you skip this process, you’ll bring children into a warzone without any weapons to give them.
You often hear people say there’s no manual for parenting and here’s no manual for marriage. You just learn as you go.
But that is a lie from hell.
God does nothing without wisdom, order, and preparation. There is a manual it’s called time in His presence. Those who say there’s no manual simply never sat long enough in His presence to receive one. They didn’t fear the Lord enough to be trained before entering war zones like marriage and parenting.
And so, they wing it.
And their children suffer.
The world’s wisdom sets you up for cycles of heartbreak, broken families, and confused children.
God’s wisdom prepares you for legacy, authority, and spiritual power.
