Achan brought shame to his family, his tribe & his nation. All of his children, his wife and everything he owned were destroyed bcos of his greedy character. Years from now, when someone mentions yo name, what memories will be invoked?
Beloved, yo character will continue to speak for good or evil after yo life on earth has ended. What pictures come to mind when u think of Achan, Ananias & Sapphira, Gehazi, and Lot’s wife? God has given us d freedom of choice, but we must live by d consequences of our decisions in life. The decisions u make today contributes to d kind of legacy u are leaving behind. How will those u know and love say u’ve influenced their lives? We live in a day when many people would rather have silver & gold than a good name. Yo reputation is what u try to live up to; while Character is what u are. Reputation is what precedes u; Character is what remains when u’re gone. Reputation is made in a moment; Character is built in a lifetime. Reputation is what men say about u at your funeral; Character is what is said about u before d throne of God.
Reputation is what men think u are. Character is what God knows u to be. How will yo relatives, friends, neighbors, & tribe, remembered u when u are gone? Friend, live for Jesus today. Be a student of His Word and faithful in yo prayer life. Remain pure & holy. Guard yo heart & mind against sin. Life itself is short, but our legacy lasts for eternity! What u do in this life will echo in eternity! “A good name is more desirable than great riches; to be esteemed is better than silver or gold.” Pr. 22:1. Prayer: O Lord, Help me to build a lasting legacy that is worth being remembered, a legacy that directs those who come after me to follow You. Amen.
Hav a Wonderful Wednesday!
U r d best!
Shalom.
