Leave A Legacy - Trust Fall SeriesExemplo

Difference-makers Declaration 

Here is a "Difference-makers Declaration." I want you to read it, declare it, and repeat it daily. Here it goes:

"I was made for more than watching. I have a history-changing, difference-making, life-giving, Spirit-empowered legacy to leave. Jesus, I ask You to work deeply in me and clearly through me as we pray, give and go in Your love. I am a difference-maker. In Jesus' name, amen."

You are a difference-maker. God has put something in you. You were born an original. Don't die a copy. Walk with God and let Him use you where you are because you are a tent, a tent that meets with God. You’re a tent that declares the praises of God. Live for what lasts as you live in what doesn't. This is confusing, isn't it? I've got to do my taxes and I've got to go to the grocery store and I've got to go to the dry cleaners and I've got to put gas in the car. All this stuff that's constantly around can overwhelm you. 

I don’t believe you purposely are so busy that you do not make the time to impact others. Life happens. We have emails, text messages, this and that. That's how life is, right? But instead, I encourage you to live for what lasts in the midst of everything that doesn't. Be in the world but not of the world. Live for a legacy.

What's the legacy? You may leave a legacy of treasure. That's what we think about sometimes, but most importantly let’s leave a legacy of Truth. Peter says, "And I will also make every effort that you may be able to recall these things at the time after my departure.” This Scripture tells me that Peter’s mind was set on a legacy. It’s not bad to leave a legacy of treasure. It’s great to have a will and a testament, but leave a legacy of Truth as well. 

John Maxwell says: "If you are successful, it becomes possible for you to leave an inheritance for others. But, if you desire to create a legacy, then you need to leave something in others."
