Reclaiming Our Forgotten Heritageনমুনা

To keep our children and families (including our spiritual families) free from the enemy’s corruption, we must raise them up in the fear and admonition of the Lord through love and respect. They must also see that the instruction is “working.” Legacy is the fruit of working God’s instruction and having it turn into a testimony of God’s goodness that will last for generations to come.

The Jewish people are constantly reminded of their roots and their family legacy when they refer to the “God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob.” This phrase itself ensures that they will never have another god. Their provision and their identity, purpose, and destiny flows through this one source, so that Abraham’s family legacy—which is our legacy as well—will continue. For God’s promise applies to all of us who call Abraham father and Yeshua Savior. 

In order to live well and leave a legacy, we must discipline ourselves and intentionally change our habits and patterns so that we create an atmosphere conducive to empowering that legacy. This requires a commitment to hard work and a certain “daily grind.” Just as you must exercise and challenge your muscles if you want to grow stronger physically, you must repeatedly challenge yourself and practice your faith to build it up to accomplish bigger dreams. 

Praise the Lord that we all prophesy in part and look through a glass dimly (1 Corinthians 13:12)—because there is always more to learn and discover. May this small part of discovering and reclaiming your lost roots and forgotten heritage enable and assist you to live and leave a legacy as you uncover greater shalom in your Father God—the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob to whom we have gained access through Yeshua ben David, Yeshua ha Mashiach (Yeshua son of David, Yeshua the Messiah).
