PROTECT YOUR LEGACY
Don’t lose your legacy.
These are the things that Salomon did during his reign in the temple he built for the Lord. After he died an enemy king came and destroyed what he had done and stole the wealth inside the temple. You see, we need to prepare the following generations to conserve what we have achieved and to take it to a higher level.
Teach your children what you have learned in your spiritual life. Teach them the values you know that will bless their descendants for many years. Teach them how to manage their money well. Teach them how to avoid debts and credit cards. Teach them the value of service and how to add value to other people’s lives. Also, instill the golden rule, which is to respect and teat others as they want to be respected and treated. Teach them the law of sowing and reaping.
During this short life, be a good mentor to someone. Don’t take to heaven what you have already learned, instead share the wisdom you have acquired throughout the years; share the victories, your mistakes and how you have learned from them, so that others don’t make the same mistakes you did.
Jesus Christ protected his legacy by preparing twelve men (his disciples) to continue his work. Moses prepared a Joshua who not only continued his labor, but also took care of it. Elijah invested himself in Elisha who succeeded him as a prophet. David prepared a Salomon. Paul commissioned Timothy to take care of his legacy by preparing two other generations other than Timothy. In other words, his legacy reached four generations, which are: Paul, Timothy, trustworthy men, and others.
Don’t lose your legacy.
Think about it:
How can you prepare yourself to leave a legacy of excellence on earth? Who can you invest yourself in so your legacy continues in your upcoming generations?
What kind of legacy do you want to leave behind?
