How can we share God's signs with future generations, as in Exodus 10:2? Scripture focus “...that you may tell your sons and grandsons how severely I dealt with the Egyptians and performed My signs among them, so that you may know that I am the LORD.” – Exodus 10:2 Why God Gives Signs • To reveal His power and character (Exodus 7–12) • To anchor faith in historical, literal events • To create a testimony that must be carried forward (Joel 1:3; Psalm 145:4) The Pattern: Receive, Remember, Relay 1. Receive—experience or learn the sign firsthand. 2. Remember—preserve the memory accurately. 3. Relay—pass it on unchanged to the next generation. Practical ways to share God’s signs today • Tell the biblical accounts exactly as written – “These words…you shall teach them diligently to your children” (Deuteronomy 6:6-7). • Share personal testimonies of God’s work – Like Paul recalling Lois and Eunice (2 Timothy 1:5). • Build tangible memorials – Journals, artwork, a special object, or a family “stones of remembrance” shelf (Joshua 4:6-7). • Celebrate ordinances and feasts with explanation – “For as often as you eat this bread and drink this cup, you proclaim the Lord’s death” (1 Corinthians 11:26). • Integrate Scripture into daily life – Talk Scripture at meals, bedtime, travel (Deuteronomy 6:7-9). • Sing and recite Scripture together – Psalm-based songs, memorization games, family recitations. • Mark God’s interventions in a family timeline – Note healings, provisions, answered prayers alongside world events. • Use today’s tools for tomorrow’s ears – Record videos, podcasts, blogs so future generations hear voices of their ancestors. • Involve children in service and missions – Let them witness God’s provision in ministry settings. • Maintain doctrinal clarity – Guard against diluting or revising the facts (Psalm 78:4-7). Guarding the message • Measure every story by the written Word—accurate, literal, inspired. • Avoid embellishment; the truth is compelling enough. • Correct errors immediately so memory stays pure. What future generations gain • Knowledge of the LORD’s identity and power (Exodus 10:2). • Confidence that He acts in history and in their lives. • A heritage of faith that outlives each storyteller. Encouragement to continue The same God who split the sea still moves today. Record His deeds, rehearse them often, and release them into young hearts so they, too, may “know that He is the LORD.” |
