*BECOMING A GENERATIONAL BLESSING* (III)
_Key Bible Text:_
*"For so hath the Lord commanded us, saying, I have set thee to be a light of the Gentiles, that thou shouldest be for salvation unto the ends of the earth."* (Acts 13:47 (KJV))
_Bible Insight:_
Your life under God, and when lived as God ordained, is actually designed to be a light to those in darkness, a light that directs men towards salvation. Beloved, the ultimate good of God, the ultimate goal of God, is to bring salvation to mankind. Anyone therefore who partners with God towards achieving that is a generational and transgenerational blessing!
When the Apostles were trying hard to preach to the jews but the Jews proved adamant towards the gospel, this is what happened next and what the Apostles replied the adamant Jews:-
_But when the Jews saw such a great number of people, they were full of envy and said evil words against Paul's preaching. Then Paul and Barnabas without fear said, It was necessary for the word of God to be given to you first; but because you will have nothing to do with it, and have no desire for eternal life, it will now be offered to the Gentiles. For so the Lord has given us orders, saying, I have given you for a light to the Gentiles so that you may be for salvation to the ends of the earth. And the Gentiles, hearing this, were glad and gave glory to the word of God: and those marked out by God for eternal life had faith._ Acts 13:45-48 (BBE)
You're a generational blessing when you go beyond things that only matter on this earth. You must labour to invest in lives in eternally significant ways. Live in a way that show them that you are truly the light, and they will glorify your heavenly Father. Also, direct them to your heavenly Father-- "know Jesus and make Jesus known!" Don't live in a way that give people doubt about how good your Father is, since you're a representative of your Father!
When people say *"If this is how Christians behave, I rather not be a Christian"* , that can be a sign that you have not lived or acted as the true light that you're designed to be!
May we not live in a manner that will make unbelievers think that we are no different from them after all. May we not live in a manner that will do a disservice to God or discredit the name of God, May we become a generational blessing in this world in Jesus name. Amen
_MEDITATION:_
*"You are sure that you are a guide for the blind and a light for all who are in the dark. And since there is knowledge and truth in God's Law, you think you can instruct fools and teach young people. But how can you teach others when you refuse to learn? You preach that it is wrong to steal. But do you steal? You say people should be faithful in marriage. But are you faithful? You hate idols, yet you rob their temples. You take pride in the Law, but you disobey the Law and bring shame to God. It is just as the Scriptures tell us, "You have made foreigners say insulting things about God."* Romans 2:19-24 (CEV)
