Day 6
The Generational Mandate




Yahweh will use you today… for someone’s benefit two hundred years from now…. and he knows the person and the benefit…

If you and I are not living our lives with the conscious reality that we are going to impact future generations then we haven’t learned the first thing about Yahweh.

If you and I are not living our lives with the conscious reality that we are going to impact future generations then we will never understand the sacrifices we are often called on to make…. We will never understand what to give ourselves and our efforts to in this life if we have not a vision for future generations.

This is seen in the statement that Yahweh is the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob.

Exodus 3:15 “…Yahweh, the God of your fathers, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob, has sent me to you. This is My name forever; this is how I am to be remembered in every generation.”
(Holman Christian Standard Bible)

This is the beginning of understanding generational thinking.
Ps 105:8-10 “He forever remembers His covenant, the promise He ordained for a thousand generations — 9 the covenant He made with Abraham, swore to Isaac, 10 and confirmed to Jacob as a decree and to Israel as an everlasting covenant.”
(Holman Christian Standard Bible)

Excellent post...
At times, Mrs. Shifty struggles with the thought that she isn't making enough of an "impact" for Christ, and I always tell her that just by living her lie as she is, her example could impact people she doesn't even know....not to mention the fact that by raising up Godly children (so far...thank God!) we are impacting our kids', kids', kids!
