“And David said, Solomon my son is young and tender, and the house that is to be builded for the LORD must be exceeding magnifical, of fame and of glory throughout all countries: I will therefore now make preparation for it. So David prepared abundantly before his death.” I Chronicles 22:5
King David, before his death, ordered stone to be hewn and cedar to be gathered and nails to be made from iron, for the construction of the temple. So too, must the church and ministry today prepare the next generation to lead and minister to the church, the house of the Lord.
