PHANEROO~DEVOTION 9th March 2016 LESSONS IN VIRTUE II Apostle Grace Lubega

[Proverbs 13:22]; A good man leaveth an inheritance to his children's children: and the wealth of the sinner is laid up for the just.

We must understand this wisdom. A good man stores up an inheritance for his children and his children’s children. That means that as a Christian married couple, you must understand that you are planning for three generations; the one you are in, that of your children and that of your children’s children. If you should live long enough and die without leaving enough to preserve your children and your children’s children then you were not wise. That is the truth.

We need to note that most importantly it's not what you leave FOR your children but what you leave IN them that matters most. For example, we have seen people for whom they have left properties but they didn't have the character to sustain them. That is not the right way to leave your children. One wise man once said, "we live to leave a legacy for our children" how true!!!.

The vision we carry as Christians in marriage must be one that goes past our children and unto our children’s children. We have to think; in which world are they going to live? How are they going to be established? How will they increase? What is their education like? Which God will they serve and how? How will they relate with people? Etc.

For example in the financial sense, some parents squander their money and die just like that, they claim that the children will make their own, that is not wise.  A wise man does not make his children build foundations he can build, he rather lays the foundation for them to build on- that is progress. Our Father God laid the foundations for us to live a blessed life. He gave his only son, it's the godly thing.

Your children must start better than you did as a parent in all spheres of life.
Teach the same to your children so that when they grow up, they also invest IN and FOR their children and children's children. If you teach that to your son and your son teaches that to his children, that is a great lineage; that is a story; that is true legacy.

Excerpt from the sermon: WHY MARRIAGE? by Apostle Grace Lubega

We need to note that most importantly it's not what you leave FOR your children but what you leave IN them that matters most.
