"My children inherited my poverty and I'm leaving them nothing but lack."
How it sounds in your head: I worked my whole life and there's nothing to pass down. They'll struggle just like I did. I'm dying poor and leaving them poor. What kind of legacy is that?
"A good man leaves an inheritance to his children's children, but the wealth of the sinner is stored up for the righteous."

She sees the bank statements and modest estate. Her children may be struggling financially and she feels responsible for not building more wealth to leave them.
Job lost EVERYTHING—ten children dead, all wealth gone, covered in boils. In ONE DAY God restored double everything: 14,000 sheep, 6,000 camels, blessed his latter days MORE than his beginning.
I REFUSE the lie that poverty is my legacy. IT IS WRITTEN that a good person leaves an inheritance to children's children—and Christ made me GOOD, not my savings account. The BARAK blessing of Abraham is on my seed forever because I am IN CHRIST. IT IS WRITTEN that the wealth of the sinner is stored up for MY children. My legacy is not what I accumulated—it's WHO I belonged to. I am a branch in the Vine and my children are branches IN ME. The Father's abundance flows through our bloodline by COVENANT, not by my balance sheet.
The Father is running toward your children RIGHT NOW with the fattened calf, the robe, the ring. Your poverty couldn't stop His abundance and your death won't either—the blessing outlives you because it's based on HIS covenant, not your account.
