Did you know that you have an inheritance?

Most people today are selfish in nature. They only think about their own needs and wants. Most want to be rich so that they can have and enjoy “things,” such as fancy lifestyles, big homes, fancy cars, travel around the world, etc. Although these things are not bad in and of themselves, when you only desire these things without any concern for anyone else, it can become sin to you. The scriptures counsel us to reject selfishness.  Proverbs 13:22 says  “Good people leave an inheritance to their grandchildren, but the sinner’s wealth passes to the godly”. Note how God instructs us to think beyond our selfishness. We are to actively prepare an inheritance not only for our children, but also for our children’s children (our grandchildren). This can also mean to prepare an inheritance for all those that God places in your care, and for the next generation. It could be family, community or your church family.  God revealed Himself as the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob. That is three generations. Christ died on the cross not for Himself, but for all of humanity. That is pure love and selflessness. Reject your selfish nature today and embrace God’s love for this generation. And make sure that you begin to prepare an inheritance for your children and grandchildren! Someone prayed for you and prepared all the benefits that you see and enjoy around you. Now it’s our turn to leave a blessed legacy for future generations!
