Generational wealth is biblical...stop hating on it!

-


Leaving an inheritance is the definition of true care. 

We are in the age when people speak about money, wealth, or having the finer things of life, they are frowned upon. In all we seek to achieve, our highest aim should always be to leave a mark, a legacy from which those after us can benefit. It is not always selfish ambitions. Also, I am in no way projecting that this can only be done through financial means. Take a few minutes to assess your life, can you safely say you have built a legacy that your children or children's children can inherit? Some of us may not be able to answer confidently. Many of us have just been working for our ends, our joy, or seeming satisfaction. Shape your efforts in such a way where your labour will not be in vain.





What are generational wealth and its biggest misconception? 

Generational wealth is often referred to as the transference or passing down of assets from one generation to the next. The business-minded will tell you that assets are basically anything of economic value. Therefore, a father or family leaving behind a house or land would remove the strain or stresses of acquiring a home or land for their child or children. Generational wealth is biblical. Yes, it is practiced in many countries and societies but greater efforts need to be made to reduce the struggles young people face in trying to live a better life. "A good man leaves an inheritance for his children's children (Proverbs 13:22)." You do NOT need 30 million dollars to make a head start on creating generational wealth. Whilst this is contrary to what you may think, start brainstorming ways in which you can assist your lineage. The focus is no longer on us or about us, it is about those who will come from us.


Having thought about generational wealth, I believe this generation is lacking not in financial access and possession but rather, spiritual wealth, emotional wealth, and physical wealth.

Types of generational wealth that came to mind include and is not limited to:


1. A lineage of good thoughts and positive thinking.


2. A lineage of hard work and good stewardship of resources.


3. A lineage of good values and attitudes


4. A lineage of social responsiveness


5. A lineage of creativity and inspiration


6. A lineage of trustworthiness, honesty, and peace


7. A lineage of being free to fulfill God's predestined purpose.


What legacy are you leaving behind? Will you cause your children to suffer the same fate you have? What is your game-plan to make a change? Generational Wealth is biblical...Stop hating it! It ultimately benefits you.

    I was deeply inspired by your message and would like to take the time to remind young people like myself to set goals and work hard for what they want so that it will benefit your children and grandchildren. We should also not think only about the finanancial wealth, but the spiritual,emotional and physical wealth

    This is very important and informative. The way many of us think and live has been influenced by our foreparents and many of them didn't leave behind a beneficial legacy.

Suffering is not ALL bad

You WILL benefit from your suffering Many of us do not want to be associated with suffering of any kind. When we hear the word, we immediately think of undergoing pain and hardship that will potentially destroy us. However, suffering is NOT all bad, and in many cases, God uses suffering to bring us up to his standard. Suffering can be self-induced. There are times we suffer and it is not the fault of others but ours; especially when we disobey God. Additionally, there is externally induced suffering that we may face simply because of things we cannot exactly control. People may hate you so they make your life difficult, by hurling insults and creating situations to bring us harm. FIVE reasons we should be more appreciative of suffering : - Suffering produces perseverance : Suffering in itself is not beneficial. Some who only dwell on their suffering never gain its benefits or achieve a higher perspective. But those who focus on what God can do through suffering...

Formula for blessing

-

Blessing   We often think about being blessed in our limited scope to refer only to an increase in material gain. Whilst this is sometimes a sign that one is indeed blessed, this is only a fragment of what the word means; this word is much bigger than that and carries greater weight. To be blessed is to have God's favour upon your life- which transcends to every aspect of your life and everything that concerns your being. To be blessed simply means submitting your life to God's leading- do what he requires of you, live the way he commands and have genuine love in your heart for others (neighbour).   Types of blessings that we need - Spiritual blessings : We need to ensure that God has indeed selected us and set us apart for his grand plan; access to his grace and mercies for our daily walk with him. Eph. 1:3-4 (NIV) says “p raise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us in the heavenly realms with every spiritual blessing in Christ. For he ch...

Faith gets God's Attention

                          Faith impresses God                                                     Many of us speak of having faith but we do not have it. Some of us have gone as far as mentioning that we have 'crazy' faith or big faith, but yet our actions are far from it. Most of the time what we demonstrate is nothing but lip service. True faith gets God’s attention, not mere lip service or wishful thinking . The Hebrew writer defined faith as “ the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen  (Heb.11:1)” .   Faith, therefore, means abandoning all trust in our resources, abilities, and reasoning-the things we see. It means relying instead on things we cannot see-God's promises, provisions, and his concern for us. An inner attitude alone does not define faith, thoug...
