Message summary & scripture references

As parents, we have to be mindful not to leave a vision for our children. God has called us to leave an inheritance for them, but not a vision. We can become so excited and passionate about our calling that we want our children to work with us and eventually take over from us. However, this is very dangerous because we could be hindering the calling God has given them by placing our calling on them.

Proverbs 13:22 KJV

[22] A good man leaveth an inheritance to his children’s children: and the wealth of the sinner is laid up for the just.

Mark 6:3 KJV

[3] Is not this the carpenter, the son of Mary, the brother of James, and Joses, and of Juda, and Simon? and are not his sisters here with us? And they were offended at him.

Matthew 13:55 KJV

[55] Is not this the carpenter’s son? is not his mother called Mary? and his brethren, James, and Joses, and Simon, and Judas?

1 Samuel 8:1-4 NLT

[1] As Samuel grew old, he appointed his sons to be judges over Israel.
[2] Joel and Abijah, his oldest sons, held court in Beersheba.
[3] But they were not like their father, for they were greedy for money. They accepted bribes and perverted justice.
[4] Finally, all the elders of Israel met at Ramah to discuss the matter with Samuel.

[6] Train up a child in the way he should go: and when he is old, he will not depart from it.
