DAY SIXTY FOUR | A Good Man’s Inheritance 2

DAY SIXTY FOUR | A GOOD MAN’S INHERITANCE

Proverbs 13:22, “A good man leaves an inheritance for his children’s children.

The second thing we need to do if we are to leave something of real and lasting value for our descendents is to;

LIVE TO LEAVE SOMETHING BEHIND.

Be entrepreneurial in life. Have a go at making your life successful. Live to build an inheritance for your family. Have you seen the bumper sticker that reads, “Get even with your kids; spend all their inheritance before you die.” This depicts the selfish attitude of some people. They simply live for themselves today. However a good person lives with the end in mind. They want to leave a blessing on the earth.

Do not live as a consumer on earth, but live as a creator. Make up your mind that when you leave this earth there will be more good things on earth than when you started. It may mean you have to make some tough decisions.

- Stop working for the man, and start your own business.
- Stop living off welfare and be a creator/provider for others.
- Stop watching television and start creating the news.
- Stop consuming what others have created and start creating good things for yourself and others.

A wise man lives to leave a great inheritance for many generations. If you are to leave an inheritance behind you must decide to live life as a sower/reaper. You cannot be a creator if you are not releasing the miracle of creation. You must sow seed to create and reap a harvest.

Developing an inheritance to leave behind means a person must decide to live for the future and sow present resource into future dreams. To do so requires courage and sacrifice. Be courageous and have a go at creating something of worth for the future.

The greatest inheritance you can leave behind is the example of a life lived to create good things for others. Your children will copy your example and their children will rise up and call you blessed.
