The Legacy
"The
third Sunday in February in the year 1891, between the hours
of two and three o'clock P.M. I accepted the Lord Jesus
Christ as my personal savior and was cleansed from sin
through the atoning merit of the precious blood of
Christ.
Noah Melvin Haga
Feb 1891
These words , penned by a grandfather that none of us would
ever know are a part of the Legacy handed down to us
tonight. The prayers of godly men and women from early in
our family's history weave their way silently into the lives
of future descendents. The quiet prayer of Noah Melvin Haga
stretched across the years, down through time, and unlocked
the hearts of many of his descendants. Tonight, the heritage
continues, gradually passing from generation to generation,
with the hand of God infusing life through the answered
prayers of the righteous. We are told in the Bible that the
prayers of the righteous availed much in the lives of their
descendents, for the Lord pours out his love and mercy to
the third and fourth generation of those who keep his
commandments.
No man can ever know how far his prayers and the impact of
his life will reach. In the infinite provision of God's
wisdom, the prayers of the righteous always come full
circle, though none but God who inspires them, will ever
know the full stories of their impact. We can never tell
what methods God will use, nor when the fulfillment of
prayers long silent will come, but be assured , God's
purposes are always accomplished.
You are a part of a legacy that is moving into the future.
And as it does, those of your generation and those who will
be grafted into it, are endowed with a life which is given
strength through the prayers and obedience of those who have
come before. The blessings of God follow generational lines.
so also do the consequences of wrongdoing and ungodly
choices. The question that you must consider is: "Where
will my allegiance be given?" As you daily make
decisions, the future of the Haga legacy is determined.
You have grown and are growing up among the
twentieth-century mentality that decisions are based on the
present--the now. Yet every life is the result of a series
of choices and crossroads--not only yours, but those of your
ancestors for generations behind you. You each hold a key to
the future. It was true in the past when your
parents/grandparents decided to start their life together in
Kingsport and it is true in the present as you make choices.
You are standing at the crossroads of your own personal
histories, and the decisions you are making are setting into
motion values and attitudes that affect not only your own
development as men and women made in the image of God, but
the choices and decisions that will face our descendants for
generations to come.
