Dunamis Seeds Of Destiny 15 October 2022 Devotional By Dr. Paul Enenche – What Are You Passing To Your Generation?
TOPIC: What Are You Passing To Your Generation? (Seeds Of Destiny 15 October 2022)
SCRIPTURE: And Achan answered Joshua, and said, Indeed I have sinned against the Lord God of Israel, and thus and thus have I done: Joshua 7:20
THOUGHT FOR THE DAY: The things you do outlive you to your generation.
MESSAGE:
The Book of Joshua 7:1-21 gives us a painful account of the tragedy that befell a man called Achan.
Achan touched (stole) the accursed thing, a Babylonish garment, and it affected the children of Israel. What continues to baffle imagination is that it was only Achan who sinned, but God decided to punish the whole of Israel. Only one man sinned but a whole nation was punished for it.
You see, the iniquity of a man can affect a congregation.
But even beyond this, the ultimate punishment landed on Achan and his wife and children. He and his generation were wiped out.
When I read this story in Scripture, I was troubled and I asked, “Lord, only Achan sinned, why were his wife and children involved in the punishment?”
Then I realised that the things people do affect their generations. The iniquity of a man can affect his entire generation.
When Gehazi collected the gift from Naaman which he was not supposed to, the leprosy of Naaman followed him to his generation.
Also, I realised that when Achan brought the accursed thing home, his family members must have been aware but they did not rebuke or report him; they were all partners in the crime.
You see, if God did not reveal the sins of Achan to the children of Israel as the reason for their predicament, they would have continued struggling in the battle. They would have said, “Let us buy more weapons to fight this battle, let us hire mercenaries, so that we can deal with the tiny nation of Ai”. They would have continued suffering because of an unknown mystery.
Beloved, what are you passing on to your generation? Remember that the things you do outlive you to your generation. Refuse to pass curses to your generation.
Remember this: The things you do outlive you to your generation.
