WISDOM:
Proverb 20:7
The righteous lead blameless lives; blessed are their children after them.
COUNSELING:
It's very natural that, whatever one sows he shall reap, and even his next generations will have a taste of it. The Bible also states clearly that the sin of a father would be judged from his children's children even till the fourth generation. Numbers 14:18.
Flowing from the above therefore, it's good to leave godly legacies for our children, especially by placing their feet on the path of righteousness and doing good to humanity.
ADMONITION:
It's very important to do good in every situation we find ourselves, because whatever you sow today, your children might be the reapers tomorrow. We have seen such examples in the public service and private sectors in many instances.
In Proverb 22:6, the Bible says we should train up our children in the way they should go, and they won't depart from it. The truth strongly remains that, if you practise what you profess as a Christian, your children will definitely emulate you. If you are a senior officer in the public service and you are doing good, your children will do same if they eventually get to that position in future, and it will be better for them. If you are a good person in your community, your children will emulate you as well, and your name will be remembered for it after you have departed this world.
CONCLUSION:
The Bible says in Psalm 37:27 that, we should separate ourselves from evil and do what is right, so that we will abide forever. Being righteous and doing good therefore, are key factors that can keep our generation flourishing and abiding forever through the upcoming seeds.
Shalom!
