A Lasting Legacy

 2Timothy 1:5:

When I call to remembrance the unfeigned faith that is in thee, which dwelt first in thy grandmother Lois, and thy mother Eunice; and I am persuaded that in thee also.

The greatest legacy you can leave for your children is your Faith (it’s a spiritual force that passes from one generation to another).  So Timothy, the first named Bishop in scripture, inherited his faith from his mother who had also inherited it from her own mother (I.e. Timothy’s grandmother). That means spirituality is genetic.

Testimonials of this truth abound in scripture.  Timothy is not the only example there is.  We saw that Abraham walked with God.  Isaac, a seed of Abraham also walked with God. Then Jecob a direct seed of Isaac continued the family legacy. His walk with God resulted in the birth of the great nation of Israel.  Joseph, a direct seed of Jecob (now Israel) walked with God until he became the most important statesman in ancient Egypt (which became the ruling economy in the entire world in the days of Joseph).  And yet one more outstanding example: David a seed of Jesse from the tribe of Judah, a seed of Jecob/Israel.  David’s walk with God re-positioned him from being a simple shepherd boy to becoming the greatest king Israel ever knew.  His greatness continued until from his lineage came the messiah, Jesus Christ the Saviour of the World.

Therefore do not belittle or downplay your faithful walk with the Lord today; it’s an inheritance you’re passing on to generations yet unborn.  And in case you do not have such a relationship with God or made such a commitment to serve Him all the days of your life, you can do so today and leave a great legacy for your children and generations after them.

LETS PRAY:

Please say this prayer:

Jesus Save my soul; and wash my sins with your precious blood.

Thank you Jesus for saving me.

Amen.

Congratulations if you said that prayer. The Word of God says you are now a new creature and old things are passed away. All things are become new (2 Corinthians 5:17). In other-words, God will never call your past life (sins/faults) to remembrance. They are totally forgotten. Check this:

 I, even I, am he that blotteth out thy transgressions for mine own sake, and will not remember thy sins. (Isaiah 43:25)

For I will be merciful to their unrighteousness, and their sins and their iniquities will I remember no more (Hebrews 8:12) 

If you have said this prayer, we encourage you to get into a bible believing church near you where you can grow in the Lord (1st Peter 2:2 and 2nd Samuel 7:10). And keep following us on our social media handles:
