Legacy

Are you Creating Kingdom Legacy?
What would you like to leave for the next generations? Will it be money, land, a family business, or even a honorable family name? The Bible says a good person leaves an inheritance to their children's children.
The inheritance includes money, assets, property, and also your way of thinking. “Thinking” includes how and what you believe, what you believe about God, what you believe about eternity, and what you believe about how God's kingdom operates. It includes how you love, how you show honor, how you treat people, and how you help others.
Legacy is a continuation of you.
Do you remember the story of King Solomon? God appeared to him in a dream and asked him what he wanted. King Solomon asked for wisdom. Not only did God make him the wisest man, but also the wealthiest man,…and that's what he passed down his generations.
If you haven't had a good legacy passed down to you, it's your time to start building that legacy right now. By Design. Don't you want your kids to have every advantage in life thing possibly have, and every advantage spiritually that you can give them? Be intentional about your legacy.
So here’s the truth,...You ARE creating a legacy!
Either by design, or default.
By design: you're passing on the best of you.
By default: you're passing down whatever is remembered about you.
"Whatever is remembered" about you may be the worst part of you!
