Secure your posterity.

"And the LORD appeared unto him the same night, and said, I am the God of Abraham thy father: fear not, for I am with thee, and will bless thee, and multiply thy seed for my servant Abraham's sake." Genesis 26:24

I want you to notice from our opening scripture that God vowed to bless Isaac because of His father Abraham. That is one of the benefits of serving the Lord faithfully. When you serve the Lord faithfully, it will affect your posterity. Blessings will come upon them from the Lord because of what you are doing today in your service to Him.

Kenneth Copeland would have gone to hell because he was living in sin. He said the Lord appeared to him and said that because of his mother and her prayers he would be preserved. The Lord also told him that He was giving him another chance to be able to receive salvation. He responded and got born again. Notice that his mother's prayers in service to God as an intercessor, always praying for churches, ministers of the gospel, etc. answered for her son and led to his salvation.

There is another minister who came to me at a particular time whose father was a Sunday School teacher in his church. He had fallen into sin and was going through a lot of challenges. While he was talking to me, the power of the Lord came upon me and speaking by the Spirit, I said to him, "Thus saith the Lord, because of your father's service, the anointing that has diminished from your life is being restored." He started crying, talking about how much his father served the Lord. Notice again that his father's service answered for him and brought a restoration.

Your service to God is not a joke. Take it seriously because it will answer for your son or daughter tomorrow.

Prayer.

Dear Father, may my service and ministry to you in your house be acceptable to you always, in Jesus Name. Amen.
