Let Us Be Those Worthy of Yahweh’s Confidence
…Yahweh said, “Shall I hide from Abraham what I am doing, since Abraham shall surely become a great and mighty nation, and all the nations of the earth shall be blessed in him?
For I have known him, in order that he may command his children and his household after him, that they keep the way of Yahweh, to do righteousness and justice, that Yahweh may bring to Abraham what He has spoken to him.” – Genesis 18:17-19
…”Did Yahweh not make them one, having a remnant of the Spirit? And why one? He seeks godly offspring. Therefore take heed to your spirit, and let none deal treacherously with the wife of his youth.” -Malachi 2:15
Perhaps one of the most powerful revelations that I have ever received is the concept that by my faithfulness as a father, and a minister, I potentially am reaching into the future and touching generations (many who will never even know my name), and impacting them for the Kingdom of Yahweh.
Our God has always wanted a people who would represent Him in the earth accurately. He has wanted a people who would rule and reign by their righteousness under His authority.
Sadly, all too often His representatives have been too shortsighted, losing perspective on His purposes and the importance of sowing into the next generation. Like Esau, they have sold their birthright for a momentary “pot of stew, “ a pleasure that quickly passed away. How pitiful it is to read that Esau repented and sought for the blessing (the privilege of being Yahweh’s earthly representative) with tears – yet to no avail.
Like Abraham, let us be those worthy of Yahweh’s confidence – a people who recognize the window of time available to us to impact those who will follow afterward. They will not fulfill their ultimate purpose without our faithfulness – and we will not receive the fullness of our inheritance without their success.
