The Lord brought an idea to mind just recently while listening to a born-again Jew. He said he was going to leave his inheritance to Israel.
So many people have rebellious children who have no regard for them. God will only give an inheritance to those who love Him. He will not give an inheritance to those who reject Him. We can live by this same example.
Children who despise us will not suddenly be softened by getting an inheritance from us. If money softens them, then it is not the love of us but the love of the money.
We know the love of children is authentic when they expect nothing from us but treat us with honor and respect anyway.
Perhaps this is a lesson for born-again believers. Instead of leaving our assets to children who despise us, we could bless Israel with it.
When we are raptured out of here and our assets are left behind we can bless those who will be born-again in Israel during the tribulation. God will know where to send the inheritance and to whom it must go.
Now the prayer has to be asking God how to carry out leaving the inheritance to bless Israel. If this is God's will for believers.
We are living in times in which adult children have no or little interest in their parents. They want to be left alone without their parents to have fun and earn their fortunes. Perhaps this is the time to make our inheritance useful during a time when believers will need the resources.
After all, money is not important for eternity, only salvation is vitally important and how we spend that money to help believers, especially those who become born again after the rapture in Israel.
I have never been fond of the idea of leaving an inheritance to children who will spend it on their pleasures and foolishness when it could go to serve those who love Christ.
Just a thought to pray about. Since unsaved family members are not our real family because we belong to the family of Christ, we are free to pray for them as we walk away to live our lives for Christ, even after the rapture or death whichever comes first.
Everyone has to seek God on this, I am not even sure myself how this could be done, but God can show me when the timing is right.
Praise Him for His direction to us through the Holy Spirit.
