Title: WRONG MARRIAGE CAN STEAL YOUR CHILDREN’S INHERITANCE

Ezra 9:12, Malachi 2:15

Marriage does not only affect you—it shapes the generations that come after you. Ezra warned Israel, “Give not your daughters unto their sons, neither take their daughters unto your sons… that ye may be strong, and eat the good of the land, and leave it for an inheritance to your children for ever” (Ezra 9:12). Malachi adds, “And wherefore one? That he might seek a godly seed” (Malachi 2:15). This means marriage is a seedbed for inheritance. A wrong marriage may not fully stop you from fulfilling your call, but it can severely cripple your children’s ability to continue in that call.I have seen children of great ministers lose all appetite for God because their parents’ marriage brought them under a polluted atmosphere. The father might still preach, the mother might still pray, but the generational seed is weakened. A wrong partner brings strange spirits into the home, and those spirits fight the destiny of the children. Satan knows that if he can’t fully derail you, he can still steal your inheritance through your offspring. That is why he fights to contaminate marriage at the foundation. Many who thought they could manage their choice later realised their children bore the brunt of that error.Practically, don’t gamble with destiny in marriage. Brothers, don’t marry a woman who despises spiritual things, no matter how beautiful she is. Sisters, don’t tie your life to a man who rejects God’s purpose, no matter how wealthy he looks. Your union is a gate through which either covenant blessings or strange attacks will pass to your children. If you are married already, refuse to accept defeat—rise in prayer to preserve a godly seed. Teach your children consecration, create a home atmosphere of faith, and fight off every satanic invasion. God’s plan is that your marriage becomes a channel of generational inheritance, not a snare of generational loss.THOUGHT TO PONDER: Am I choosing marriage with my children’s destiny in view? Am I ensuring my home is a platform for raising a godly seed and not a polluted one?

Prayer: Lord, preserve my marriage as a channel of inheritance. Let a godly seed rise from my home to continue Your purpose in the earth.
