71 LEAVE A SPIRITUAL AND MATERIAL
INHERITANCE GREAT ENOUGH TO BLESS YOUR SEED’S SEED.
Today’s message to people is, “Live your life for you. You only go around once.”
This self-centered approach to life is deadly to your child. God has given you the means to provide for your family and to bless them beyond your life here on earth.
This is more than leaving a spiritual legacy; it includes a material blessing as well.
Retirement plans enable workers to have enough money for them and their spouses to have comfortable lives after they stop working. However, many fall short in helping parents plan an inheritance for their children, let alone for their grandchildren.
Parents have a mandate from God to provide for their seed and their seed’s seed. It’s an honor to bless them, just as our Heavenly Father has blessed us. It also sends a clear message—“You are important.”
The message we send to our children when we hoard possessions to ourselves is one of greed and selfishness. Jesus taught clearly that we should desire to give our child the best gifts, just as our Father has given us His best (Luke 11:9–13).
And you shall remember the Lord your God, for it is He who gives you power to get wealth, that He may establish His covenant which He swore to your fathers, as it is this day (Deut 8:18).
