Legacy at first sight and sound appears to be secular in nature, but it is actually biblical and spiritual.  For the promise and the goal is that we would produce fruit, and fruit that lasts.  At the legacy level it is a time of transition, a time of great change.  It is passing the baton.  It is releasing those who you have led into their destiny.  It is supporting them in their vision.  It is the extension and advancement of the Kingdom vision we see in others, enlarging their vision and ministry.  The transition involves reaching back and bringing your experience, and life skills to bear on the future generations.  It is delegating and releasing others into their destiny call.

This season is delegation, delegation, delegation.  At the leadership level, we lead.  At the legacy level we guide. The ball is in your court – You do all the doing and I do all the watching.  The hardest season for a man or woman of achievement is that season where they have to sit on the sidelines and watch others pursue their destiny.

Within the heart of the father, the heart of the leader, the most wonderful moment of all is when we see our spiritual and natural sons and daughters become who they are called to be and reaching their spiritual and natural success and destiny.  The greatest gift that we can desire, have, or give is to be the man or woman that our parents never were, so that our children can be the people that we never shall be.

I hope that through this teaching you are able to find yourself, and where you are in your personal journey.  Certainly there are different phases of your journey even within the passages I have described.  Where you are transitioning in, and where you have settled in, and then transitioning out into that next and new season.  I want you to find yourself somewhere in here.  If you are in a place of leadership, that your actions would be that of a leader and not of an achiever, or if you are at that season of your life in discipleship, be careful that you are not trying to lead everyone, for this is your season to sit under the heart, life and ministry of another.  Your time will come. When the student is ready, the teacher shall appear.  I am believing with you for all of God’s blessing for His right timing, and for His perfect guidance.  Let His will be done, His Kingdom come in your life and mine.

Lord, I pray that spiritual mothers and fathers would rise up and that we would have a legacy to impart to a rising generation.  Just as those who have gone before us and pioneered the way for us.  Father I pray for the hearts of the fathers to return to the children and Lord I pray that everyone would understand what season they in.  I pray for impartation for wisdom, revelation, leadership and accountability.  Teach us Lord to see the destinies for those who we will pass the baton to and to continue to run this race with foundational understanding of discipleship.  Amen!
