RCCG Open Heavens 10 August 2026 Daily Devotional by Pastor E.A. Adeboye – YOUR LEGACY IS NOT FOR SALE

Topic: YOUR LEGACY IS NOT FOR SALE

OPEN HEAVENS DAILY DEVOTIONAL

Memorise:

A good man leaveth an inheritance to his children's children: and the wealth of the sinner is laid up for the just.
— Proverbs 13:22 (KJV)

Read: 2 Kings 20:12-19 (KJV)

12 At that time Berodachbaladan, the son of Baladan, king of Babylon, sent letters and a present unto Hezekiah: for he had heard that Hezekiah had been sick.
13 And Hezekiah hearkened unto them, and shewed them all the house of his precious things, the silver, and the gold, and the spices, and the precious ointment, and all the house of his armour, and all that was found in his treasures: there was nothing in his house, nor in all his dominion, that Hezekiah shewed them not.
14 Then came Isaiah the prophet unto king Hezekiah, and said unto him, What said these men? and from whence came they unto thee? And Hezekiah said, They are come from a far country, even from Babylon.
15 And he said, What have they seen in thine house? And Hezekiah answered, All the things that are in mine house have they seen: there is nothing among my treasures that I have not shewed them.
16 And Isaiah said unto Hezekiah, Hear the word of the Lord.
17 Behold, the days come, that all that is in thine house, and that which thy fathers have laid up in store unto this day, shall be carried into Babylon: nothing shall be left, saith the Lord.
18 And of thy sons that shall issue from thee, which thou shalt beget, shall they take away; and they shall be eunuchs in the palace of the king of Babylon.
19 Then said Hezekiah unto Isaiah, Good is the word of the Lord which thou hast spoken. And he said, Is it not good, if peace and truth be in my days?

RCCG Open Heavens 10 August 2026 Today Message by Pastor E.A. Adeboye

You should always ask yourself this question, especially as you advance in age: "What will people say about me when I am gone?" The truth is that the way you are living your life now will determine what people will say about you when you are gone. This is why you must strive to create a good legacy and guard it jealously. You must never trade it for anything, no matter how enticing it may appear.

Beloved, your legacy will include the name you will leave behind after you exit the earth. While King Hezekiah was a good king, he left a bad legacy for his descendants. In 2 Kings 20:1-11, the king of Babylon sent emissaries to check on him, and he foolishly showed them all the treasures in his house and kingdom. His actions exposed his kingdom and consequently his descendants to the enemy. When Isaiah told him that the consequence of his foolish actions would be the captivity of his children and that all the treasures of his land would be carted away by the king of Babylon, he replied, "Good is the word of the LORD which thou hast spoken. Is it not good, if peace and truth be in my days?" Surprisingly, he was okay with the captivity not happening in his time, but in the days of his children. His actions were clearly unwise.

Hezekiah sold his legacy just because he wanted to display his wealth. His descendants would always remember him as the one who exposed them to the enemy and made them lose the kingdom.

Today's memory verse tells us that a good man will leave an inheritance for his children's children. He will not deprive them of their inheritance or give them a bad name that they will be ashamed of. I pray that you will not open the door for the enemy to torment, afflict, or capture your descendants, in Jesus' name.

Every family that is battling one ancestral problem or another was exposed to it by someone in their lineage; do not be such a person. If you have done things that you are not proud of, and you know that those things can affect your children and their descendants, run to God for mercy today. Ask Him to cleanse you with His blood and rewrite your family's story. No matter how old you are, as long as you are alive, there is still hope of leaving a good legacy for your descendants.

Reflection:
What legacy are you leaving behind for your descendants?

Bible in One Year:
Jeremiah 22-24

Hymn 33: Guide Me, O Thou Great Jehovah!

Verse 1:
Guide me, O Thou great Jehovah,
Pilgrim through this barren land;
I am weak, but Thou art mighty,
Hold me with Thy powerful hand;
Bread of heaven, Bread of heaven,
Feed me till I want no more.

Verse 2:
Open now the crystal fountain,
Whence the healing stream doth flow;
Let the fire and cloudy pillar
Lead me all my journey through;
Strong Deliverer, strong Deliverer,
Be Thou still my strength and shield.

Verse 3:
When I tread the verge of Jordan,
Bid my anxious fears subside;
Death of death, and hell's destruction,
Land me safe on Canaan's side;
Songs of praises, songs of praises,
I will ever give to Thee.

Open Heavens Devotional 10 August 2026 Commentary

Theme: The Burden Bearer warns that your legacy is not for sale. Like Hezekiah, you can sell your descendants' future for temporary pride or comfort. A godly inheritance blesses generations; careless actions curse them.

Major Keywords: Legacy not for sale, godly inheritance, Hezekiah's mistake, protecting descendants, breaking generational curses.

Commentary Summary:

• Legacy is Shaped Today: What you do now determines what people will say about you when you are gone. Your actions affect not just you, but your children and grandchildren.

• Hezekiah's Fatal Mistake: He was a good king, but in pride he showed his treasures to Babylon's envoys. Isaiah prophesied that his descendants would be taken captive. Hezekiah was selfishly indifferent because it wouldn't happen in his lifetime. He sold his legacy.

• A Good Man Leaves an Inheritance: Proverbs 13:22 contrasts the good man who blesses generations with the sinner whose wealth is laid up for the just. Your legacy can be a blessing or a curse.

• There is Hope to Change: If you have made mistakes, run to God for mercy. He can cleanse you and rewrite your family's story. As long as you are alive, you can leave a good legacy.

• Key Truth: Do not be indifferent about the future of your descendants. Your pride, exposure, and selfishness can open doors for the enemy that your children will suffer from. Guard your legacy.

Reference to Theme: This message, YOUR LEGACY IS NOT FOR SALE, continues the "Not for Sale" series. First, salvation is not for sale. Second, the anointing is not for sale. Third, your legacy—the inheritance you leave for your descendants—is not for sale. Do not trade it for pride, pleasure, or temporary peace.

Action Steps:

1. The Legacy Check: Ask yourself honestly: What will my grandchildren inherit from me? A blessing or a curse? A good name or shame? Faith or indifference? Write down your answer and commit to changing what needs to change.

2. The Repentance Step: If there is any sin, pride, or unwise action that could affect your descendants, confess it today. Ask God to cleanse you and break the cycle.

3. The Inheritance Plan: Start intentionally building a spiritual inheritance. Spend time with your children and grandchildren. Pray for them. Model godliness. Leave a legacy that honors God.
