Grace delivers your lineage

Genesis 6:7-8 And the LORD said, I will destroy man whom I have created from the face of the earth; both man, and beast, and the creeping thing, and the fowls of the air; for it repenteth me that I have made them. But Noah found grace in the eyes of the LORD.

In the time of Noah, God was about to destroy the whole of mankind but a few people were saved by grace because someone accepted God's word, and they followed suit. 

You may never know who will be saved by your decision to accept the Lord and walk in His ways, but that could be your immediate family, which is very dear to you.

That act is noah finding grace is a picture of Christ. Jesus was a man full of grace and truth. Because of Him, the entire human race is saved. 

Never give up on grace because it's saving grace. It will save your family and those that are yours. Grace is redemptive, and it will not stop with you. In my family, it was our elder sister, Eunice, who first got saved. It was not easy for her, but she endured all the persecution that decision brought. Little did we know that one day, some of us would also follow suit. The point is she found grace and that grace extended to us, too. At least we have someone to look up to in matters concerning the Lord. The same is true with my wife, Daphine. She was the first in her family to get saved. All her siblings are also saved and are in the ministry. 

Sow a seed of grace for the sake of your family. Let them not reach a point of desire to enter into a relationship with God when you gave up already! I am always encouraged when I hear that some pastors and leaders who used to feed us God's word while growing up are still in the ministry. The same is true with my sister. Whenever I meet them, I always tell them that because of them, we are encouraged to stay serving.  

By your faith, you will save some. By your persistent ministration, many will be encouraged to join the ministry, don't let go of grace.
