What will your legacy be? (2)

‘You have given me an inheritance reserved for those who fear Your Name.' Psalm 61:5 NLT

What would you like your legacy to be? In Walden, Henry David Thoreau voiced his concern that when it came time to die, he would discover he had never fully lived. When it comes to your legacy, here are two things you need to keep in mind:

(1) Nobody will care about the legacy you leave as much as you do. So, be intentional when you decide on your legacy; that way, you greatly increase the odds of making an impact on the next generation.

(2) The sum of how you live your life each day becomes your legacy. Tally each action over many years, and you can see your legacy begin to take shape. In Inspiration and Ideals, Grenville Kleiser writes: ‘Your life is like a book. The title page is your name. The preface is your introduction to the world. The pages are a daily chronicle of your efforts, trials, pleasures, discouragements, ambitions, and achievements Day by day your thoughts and acts are being inscribed as evidence of your success or failure Hour by hour the record is being made which must stand for all time. One day the word "Finis" must be written. Let it then be said of your book that it is a record of noble purpose, generous service, and work well done.'

Most of us don't get to choose when or how we're going to die, but we all get to decide how we're going to live. And that's the legacy we leave to those who follow us.

SoulFood: 1 Kings 3-5, Mark 10:23-34, Ps 93, Pr 11:30-31

BE STRONG
Open Heavens

by Pastor E.A Adeboye

BE STRONG

You don't charge someone to be strong if there is no task to be performed or if pressure is not required, either for motion or putting up resistance against an opposing force. In the physical realm, mere movement requires strength. This explains why a sick person or a person just recovering from an ailment finds it...More

Acts 5:4-5

God often proves to be other than people think. Here, for example, death struck a man suddenly for lying before God. Is God therefore severe, when he makes use of His power unreservedly towards the weak?
Let us first briefly examine what preceded this judgment. Holy zeal for the...More
