How To Leave Lasting Legacies For Your Descendants

Share:

Proverbs 13: 22 tells us that “A good man leaves an inheritance for his descendants when he is gone, that is what a legacy is. Leaving lasting legacies for our family, friends, colleagues neighbors and communities should be part of our major aim in life.

This includes our history, our believe systems, our values, material possessions (Including money), business practices, teaching and reputation. Legacies can be seen as rare special gifts from one individual to another, from one generation to the next generation.

Knowing who we are as Christians, our desire is to seek to leave lasting legacies of righteousness and godliness for our descendants.

It’s important that we think and meditate on the kind of legacy we are building and developing so that we can leave something worth inheriting.

  1. HOW TO LEAVE LASTING LEGACIES FOR THE NEXT GENERATION

Our primary and ultimate goal is to pass on to our descendants and the next generation a lasting legacy that has eternal value. This is far more important than the temporal inheritance of property and money, and other material possessions.
