Have you ever thought about your spiritual descendants? Not
just your spiritual children- those people you are leading through a mentoring
or discipleship process or who you have led to the Lord. But what about those
disciples’ spiritual children, continuing on generation after generation? That
is what we are to be about: making disciples who make disciples who make
disciples who make disciples… You get the idea.
I have found so many gems in Isaiah lately, and read several
verses today that applied to this idea of spiritual descendants.
Isaiah 44:3-5 For I will pour water on the thirsty land, and
streams on the dry ground; I will pour out my Spirit on your offspring, and my
blessing on your descendants. They will spring up like grass in a meadow, like
poplar trees by flowing streams. One will say, ‘I belong to the Lord’; another
will call himself by the name of Jacob; still another will write on his hand, ‘The
Lord’s’ and will take the name of Israel.
Who are your spiritual descendants?
