Today I heard God speak the word “Legacy” to me. So I started thinking what legacy means to me. A legacy is something handed down to you from someone that is no longer here, but our legacy was given to us from Jesus while He is yet alive! To me that make it far more valuable because He withheld nothing from us waiting until He were no more. Of course He will never die but He said, “Here! Take some royalty. Take my gifts. Take my love.” And the most import gift, “Take my body, take my blood.” Jesus’ legacy to us was His everything. He gave it all to us. So I got to thinking, “What legacy can I leave my children?” Not a thing because as Jesus dispensed His legacy to us while He was yet still living on this earth, I chose to dispense my legacy to my children now also. Every gift that my Father and Brother gave to me I give to my bloodline now. The gift to “call those things that be not as though they were”. I give them the gift to “lay hands on the sick and they do recover”. I give them the legacy of casting out demons and commanding their situations. And more importantly I give them the gift of my love. The same love that God has shown to me is the same love I need to show to them. Not later, but right now because some legacies can only be given while you are here. And if I am to give this legacy of love then I too must do as Jesus. Offer them my body and my blood. Give them all of me. So let’s face the facts. That is easier said than done, but it is an obtainable goal. No one can make your blood boil like your children. At least 80% of your anger in life will come from them. They will test you to your limit and then some. And when this happens we tend to respond in the flesh. The time for Christians responding to their children in the flesh needs to stop. The Bible says in Romans 8:14, “For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God”, and we tend to think that we need to be Spirit led when dealing with people and things of this world. Don’t our children deserve this even more? They go through so much because they see us treating others different from how we treat them which then continued a cycle of the same thing in them passed to us through our parents whom most never understood what it really meant to be Spirit led. I’ve watched my daughter make some of the same mistakes that I’ve made and I know in my heart that this wasn’t supposed to happen. It only happened because of me not giving to my children what I have freely given to others. Me not raising them through the Spirit. So today I make a commitment to hand my legacy to my children now. I give them my body and my blood and I give them my precious love. I will be led in the Spirit as I show this love to them and I know that through this love their lives will be very different from the life I’ve led. No more feeling like they are bound to repeat my mistakes. No. Things will be better for them and I pray they will be better for your children also.
