Scriptural
Reference: Proverbs 13:22
We visit a doctor for check-up. The
doctor will do some diagnostic test, like blood test,
vital signs, urine and all kinds of test. But all
these things will be useless if we don’t pay
attention and apply what the doctors say.
The bible is our road map or blueprint
for every situation we may ever encounter. The book
proverbs say’s a good man leaves an inheritance
or moral stability and goodness to his children’s
children, and the wealth of the sinner finds its way
eventually into the hands of the righteous, for which
it was laid up.
Living righteously activates the
blessings of God; righteous living activates peace
in our hearts. A man of two minds or hesitating, dubious,
irresolute he is unstable and unreliable and uncertain
about everything he thinks, feels, decides.
Deuteronomy 4:40
A legacy of blessing, a righteous living guaranteed
life. Therefore you keep His statutes and commandments,
which I commanded you this day, that it may go well
with you and your children after you and that you
may prolong your days in the land which the Lord your
God gives you forever.
The flip side of the righteous living
is unrighteousness or unfaithful: the word Maveth
in Hebrew means violence, pestilence, ruins. If you
live in unrighteous living you are inviting violence,
pestilence and ruins in your life and you passed it
on to your children’s children.
Proverbs 11: 19
He who is steadfast in righteousness or uprightness
and right standing with God attains life, but he who
pursues evil does it to his own death.
For the sake of our righteous living God will deliver
our children from destruction. God will bless your
children for your sake, because of right standing
with God.
Proverbs 11:22
As a ring of gold in a swine’s snout, so is
a fair woman who is with out discretion. Snout in
Hebrew is Taam meaning no intelligent lack of judgment
over and over again you
Whatever we do in God’s kingdom
you are passing that spirit to your children after
you. The bible said when you give to the poor, it
is like lending to the Lord, and the Lord will pay
you back. We need to attempt big things for God then
expect great things from God.
The bible hath said bring all the
tithes or the whole tenth of your income into the
storehouse, that there may be food in My house, and
prove Me now by it, says the Lord of hosts, if I will
not open the windows of heaven for you and pour you
out a blessing, that there shall not be room enough
to receive it. We missed the great blessing of God
when we miss these.
We pass those unrighteous living
to our children up to third and fourth generation.
You are cursed with the curse, for you are robbing
something that belongs to God Almighty. He who covers
his transgressions will not prosper, but whosoever
confesses and forsaken his sins will obtain mercy.
Let us pronounce blessing to our
children and build a hedge of protection upon their
lives by setting a righteous living with God.
