God Brags About Your Daily Achievements

Destiny Partner

Good morning Destiny Partner. It is a beautiful morning indeed. I want you to remember as we start this day, that this is the day that the Lord has made, we must rejoice and be glad in it.

I have chosen to send you this article earlier today because i believe that it will change how your entire day spans out. We often forget that we are children of a proud father, our heavenly father.

And i always say, if you want to understand the nature of our divine father, it is important to spend time trying to understand how natural fathers behave. If you are not a parent yet, this article is P rated(i just had to.)

You probably have, in one stage of your life listened to a proud father or mother. They love to exaggerate the activities in their children's lives. When the child start crawling, they say, "Andrew.....has started walking!!!!!" And when their child is a bit older, the poor neighbours don't hear the last of, "thabo is a doctor now..." and at that time, the poor thabo is just doing his first year in medicine. Parents!!! funny creatures. (i understand...i am a father.lol)

When their children graduate in varsity, they want to throw the biggest graduation party ever. And mostly because they want the whole village to know their child is educated.

But however exaggerative parents can be, i believe we can learn alot about God in our natural parents.

In the book of Genesis 39, when Joseph fleed from Potiphar's house, i believe, it's not written in the bible that God called all the angels in his chamber, looked from above and said, "DID YOU SEE WHAT JOSEPH DID?" "HE IS MY SON...JOSEPH" our God brags about our daily achievements...

When you are in varsity and you get a distinction in a subject, i wish you could see what happens in heaven...God tells angels that you are already an engineer even though you have not even finished. When we excel in everything that we do, our God brags about our every achievement...

In business, we we clinche that deal, God says to the angels, "Did you see that...That's my son...a business mogul"

When we deal calmly with a situation that has everyone stressed. When we demonstrate integrity when no one sees us. I wish God can show you what happens in heaven; He calls all the angels and say come see, "that's my son" and "that's my daughter"

God wants you to effect heavenly change in your industry, business and in varsity. You should be exceptional in everything you do. Stop getting average marks in varsity. It disappoints God. He can't brag about you in heaven.

Destiny Partner, God brags on your daily achievements.

Your Life Assignment Dictates Your Birth Place

Destiny Partner

Hello Destiny Partner...What a beatiful wednesday afternoon.

And I want to declare to you today; your life assignment is a priority to God. And the whole crew in heaven is cheering for you to connect with the purpose of your life.

But before i start, i want to ask you some questions if you don't mind..

Is your work in line with the assignment God has for your life? Are you in the right career? What about the business you are in...Should you be doing business with those partners you are having? students, do you know what you should study after school?

If your answers to these questions is NO or i am not sure...Destiny AWAITS is your platform....

In today's main essay, i want to talk about your birth place...this is a little extract from a chapter titled, Your Life Assignment has a geographical locale" I felt like been generous today...again.

Let's start.....

It is our life assignment that determines where we are born. No one chose their birth place. As a matter of fact, we will never choose our birth place. It is our assignments that determines the kind of parents we are born from. Do you know why God chose Manoah and his wife to be Samson’s parents? They possessed the specific genetic makeup that was required to make Samson the strong man he had to be. In order to deliver the Israelites from the oppression of the philistines, Samson had to have strength. Therefore, his assignment dictated the parents he had to have. We never choose our birth place, our assignments dictates it.

If you grew up in a shack, you must know that your life assignment needed the lessons of that shack. Yes, that tough background you had; the abuse, mistakes, dismal failures and disappointments, they were all part of a planned set up. Your life assignment dictates our birth place. We had to attend that primary school. And that secondary school that you went to had in it the essential preparatory elements required by your life assignment.

God is able to use the sour experiences of our lives for our good. Never blame God for your past instead praise Him for it. When we saw the mess in our past, our God saw a message of our generation. When we saw ‘stupid mistakes’, God saw ‘brilliant lessons’. I have always asked God why He allowed my mother and father to divorce when I was 3, and the answer I got years later was; “That experience had the essential ingredients to make you what you assignment requires you to become.” And today, I look back and say, “Had the Lord not done what he did back then, I doubt if you could be reading this book right now.” God does not see as we do. He doesn’t perceive matters as we do either.

****It is our life assignment that dictates our birth place. But it is God that moves us to our functional place—our assignment’s geographical locale.****

In Genesis 2: 8-9 [KJV] we read the following, “And the LORD God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul. 8And the LORD God planted a garden eastward in Eden; and there he put the man whom he had formed.”

There are two critical things that jump out of that scripture for me. Firstly, we learn that Adam was formed from the dust of the ground, and God breathed into his nostrils the breath of life. And secondly, after God formed him out of the dust of the ground, he planted a garden eastward in Eden, and THERE he put the man whom he had formed.

There are two unique places in the life of Adam;

1.There is a place where Adam was formed from the dust of the ground, where God breathed into his nostrils the breath of life.

2.There is a garden where God put the man whom he had formed.

It was in his birth place where Adam was made. We are told that it is there, where God breathed into his nostrils the breath of life. In other words, in Adam’s birth place, he was capacitated for his next place.

The resources that he will need in his functional place were deposited in his birth place.

But it’s important to note, that the bible continues to tell us, after God planted the garden, He put Adam there. In other words, there was a specific place where Adam was going to function. The garden was Adam’s functional place.

As a matter of fact, in Genesis 2:15, we read the following words, “And the LORD God took the man, and put him into the Garden of Eden to dress it and to keep it.”

It is important to remember that God put him into the Garden of Eden.

Your Experiences Are On Your Life Assignment's PAYROLL...

Destiny Partner

Good afternoon, destiny partner. I trust that you having a great day. If not...brace yourself because we are about to turn your day upside down. God is about to blow your mind.

In today's main essay, i want to show you from the word of God that, your experiences in life are on your life assignment's payroll. In other words, things that happen to you have to happen if you are to be moved into your functional place.

Are you ready?

In Exodus 2: 1- 10 [KJV], “And there went a man of the house of Levi, and took to wife a daughter of Levi. 2And the women conceived, and bare a son: and when she saw him that he was a goodly child, she hid him three months. 3And when she could not longer hide him, she took for him an ark of bulrushes, and daubed it with slime and with pitch, and put the child therein; and she laid it in the flags by the river's brink. 4And his sister stood afar off, to wit what would be done to him. 5And the daughter of Pharaoh came down to wash herself at the river; and her maidens walked along by the river's side; and when she saw the ark among the flags, she sent her maid to fetch it. 6And when she had opened it, she saw the child: and, behold, the babe wept. And she had compassion on him, and said, this is one of the Hebrews' children. 7Then said his sister to Pharaoh's daughter; shall I go and call to thee a nurse of the Hebrew women, that she may nurse the child for thee? 8And Pharaoh's daughter said to her, Go. And the maid went and called the child's mother. 9And Pharaoh's daughter said unto her, Take this child away, and nurse it for me, and I will give thee thy wages. And the women took the child, and nursed it. 10And the child grew, and she brought him unto Pharaoh's daughter, and he became her son. And she called his name Moses: and she said, because I drew him out of the water. “

I want to speak to you today about the story of Moses. I trust that you really learned a lot yesterday in the story of Joseph. I showed you yesterday that heaven has a strategic agenda in your promotion. In other words, be it in your career or business, when you go up the ladder, the kingdom within which you are citizen benefits.

I have a chapter in my new book, where I demonstrate from God’s word that our life assignment has a birth place and a functional place. And that in between your birth place and your functional place, God would use experiences, both good and sour to propel you into your functional place. Destiny Partner, you can attest to the fact that I have spoken a whole lot about the experiences that God used to propel Joseph into Egypt, which was his functional place.

Let us explore today how God used experiences in the life of Moses to propel him into his functional place. In the above passage, we learn that Moses was born in the worst of times. In the time where Pharaoh, the king of Egypt had decreed annihilation of all male infants of the Hebrews, Moses mother decided to hide her child in the Nile. But you know what is amazing about this story? When all the other children were dying under the Nile, Moses was floating above it. Let me remind you, heaven does not authorize birth until purpose is established.

It is only after you know the purpose of Moses’ birth that you will understand what his experiences were serving. I will get to that in a minute. In the above passage, we learn that, as Moses was floating above the Nile, Pharaoh’s daughter went down to bath. It was there where she saw the ark in which Moses was in. Was that a coincidence? No. I can almost assure you at this stage, heaven had a strategic agenda. Let’s go deeper.

As Pharaoh’s daughter saw the child, the bible tell us that she fell in love with him. And after Merriam’s recommendation, she ordered for a Hebrew mother to be called in order to feed the child until he was grown. Isn’t God amazing? Moses’ mother was paid to raise her own child.

I believe at this stage, the question we should be asking ourselves is; what was God’s plan for moving Moses into the palace? What was heaven up to? I will tell you in a second. I even wondered how Pharaoh allowed for Moses to grow up in the palace while he was the one who ordered for the annihilation of the Hebrew children in the first place.

God wanted Moses to spend time in the palace, to learn the protocol of the palace and to build the track record in the palace such that, when he makes an appointment with Pharaoh who is alive in the future, he would be known in the palace.

When Moses had learned the protocol of the palace and he had gone to see how his kind lived, the bible tells us about another experience. Moses witnesses an Egyptian and a Hebrew fighting, he defends a Hebrew and kills an Egyptian. Let me repeat this; he killed an Egyptian. And after he learns that the story was known, he flees to the land of Midian.

In Exodus 3: 1 [KJV], “Now Moses kept the flock of Jethro his father in law, the priest of Midian: and he led the flock to the backside of the desert, and came to the mountain of God, even to Horeb.”

Moses was born to lead the biggest march out of Egypt to the Canaan. That was the reason his birth was authorized. But do you realize that Moses started in his functional place, and was moved to the land of midian, his birth place and only to be moved back to his functional place?

You must remember, in your birth place, you are formed but in your functional place, you function. Moses needed to be formed or trained. In his life assignment, he was required to become a shepherd. In Moses, God needed a shepherd. And that shepherd was made as he led the flock to the backside of the desert. Moses might have thought that it was a job to be a shepherd but God knew that it was his life assignment.

After God saw that he was ready to lead the biggest march ever out of Egypt, he made known his life assignment. You probably remember what God said to Moses. The burning bush is a classic story in our Sunday schools

If Moses had not killed that Egyptian, he would not have ended up in the land of midian. And if Moses had not spent time in the palace, he would not be known by anyone in the palace, as a result, he could not have had a opportunity even to see Pharaoh...

Your experiences are on your life assignment payroll…

Heaven Is Cheering For Your Promotion

Destiny Partner

Good Morning Destiny Partner. I trust that you are great. I can never thank you enough for allowing me to invade your cyber space every weekday with this life-changing article. The feedback i receive everyday is really humblying.

Destiny Partner, I can assure you, your today will never be the same again.You are going to be blown away, as i demonstrate to you from the word of God that heaven is cheering for your promotion.

I believe that God has made everything to function within a specific environment. A tree won't survive without the soil, the same way a fish wont survive outside the water. I also believe that every person of earth has a functional place.

Genesis 39: 1-5 [NKJV], “Now Joseph had been taken down to Egypt. And Potiphar, an officer of Pharaoh, captain of the guard, an Egyptian, bought him from the Ishmaelites who had taken him down there. 2 The LORD was with Joseph, and he was a successful man; and he was in the house of his master the Egyptian. 3 And his master saw that the LORD was with him and that the LORD made all he did to prosper in his hand. 4 So Joseph found favor in his sight, and served him. Then he made him overseer of his house, and all that he had he put under his authority. 5 So it was, from the time that he had made him overseer of his house and all that he had, that the LORD blessed the Egyptian’s house for Joseph’s sake; and the blessing of the LORD was on all that he had in the house and in the field.”

I want you to realize something in this piece of scripture; when Joseph arrived in Egypt, he was sold yet again, but this time, it was not to the Ishmaelite merchants, it was to Potiphar, an officer of Pharaoh, captain of the guard.

And Potiphar’s objective for buying Joseph entailed to employ him in his house as his servant. When I read that, I said to myself, “There must have been something about Joseph that the Egyptian liked.” In verse 2 of that scripture, we read some of the most profound words in the bible…”The LORD was with Joseph, and he was a successful man; and he was in the house of his master the Egyptian.”

It is out of that scripture where we learn the true definition of success. Joseph arrived in Egypt as a slave. He got into Potiphar’s house with nothing but God. And then we read, The Lord was with Joseph, and he was a successful man…

How does God define success?

# 01. Success / Prosperity is the empowerment to accomplish or achieve things that you would otherwise not achieve.

The third verse says, “And his master saw that the LORD was with him and that the LORD made all he did to prosper in his hand.” When you operate with Joseph’s blessing, your employer must SEE that the Lord is with you. Everything you touch in your employer’s house must turn into gold.

It was only after the employer had seen that everything Joseph touched turned into gold that we read, “Then he made him overseer of his house, and all that he had he put under his authority.”

Check the order. It says, his master saw that the Lord was with him and that the Lord made all he did to prosper in his hand, and then he made him overseer of his house, and all that he had he put under his authority.

Your promotion lies with the visibility of the blessing on your life. Joseph was promoted when his employer saw the favour of God upon his life. If you don’t get promoted at work, maybe you have not operated in the blessing of Joseph in your employer’s house.

You see, heaven had a strategic agenda in Joseph been promoted. The bible tells us that, Potiphar made Joseph an overseer. Yes, an overseer. In today’s terms, we could use the word General Manager. Even if I repeated that word, you wouldn’t understand the meaning of that function, not unless you studied under the auspices of economic management and sciences.

A person who majors in General Management has more responsibility than anyone doing a specialized discipline. They do accounting, marketing, business management, economics et cetera throughout their studies…

In other words, when someone graduates with a specialized degree like marketing or accounting, a General Management student is capable in all those disciplines….did you know that? Only business students will understand.

How much does an average BCom degree cost? R50000? Joseph acquired the skills in Potiphar’s house for free…

Never underestimate the role that your job plays in the assignment that God has for your life. I often say, look at your roles in your company, they might give you a glimpse of where you are going. God uses our jobs sometimes to facilitate our life assignment…

I want to finish with bad news though...you can never operate with Joseph's blessing until you are moved into your functional place...

And in case you asking yourself how to connect with your functional place....ORDER MY BOOK....LOL

*Things We Learned Today*

01. Success / Prosperity is the empowerment to accomplish or achieve things that you would otherwise not achieve.

02. Promotion in your job depends on the visibility of the blessing upon your life—Your employer must SEE that the Lord is with you.

03. Your Employer is blessed on your behalf---when the turnover increases, you must know, its because you are there. If you don’t believe me, scroll up and read that scripture again.

04. Heaven always has a strategic agenda in you been promoted

Never Major With Minors

Destiny Partner

"Never Get Caught Up In Trivialities. You Will End Up Majoring With Minors. And The Truth is; In Varsity, We Can Get Promoted To The Next Grade, Even Without Passing Our Minors."

Thapelo Jonas

Hello Destiny Partner...I trust that you had a fabulous weekend because i SURE did. I have a confession though....i missed you guys. I enjoyed helping people in Qwaqwa to connect with their life assignments.

There is nothing that can replace a person been in their functional place...

In today's main essay, i chose to talk about a subject very close to my heart. As a life coach, i feel that it is my duty to help you destiny partner, to understand how to class the obstacles of your life.

Our obstacles fall into two categories; MINORS and MAJORS.

Any person that has done some geographical studies in primary will tell you, we were taught that Mount Kilimanjaro is one of the tallest mountains in the world. People often ask me why i disagree with that. And then i tell them, the answer to that rendition depends on the position that it is viewed from.

If we can place one person on the bottom of Mount Kilimanjaro, and ask them a closed ended question," is Mount Kilimanjaro one of the tallest mountains in the world?" Chances are, they will say YES.

However, if you take another person and put him on an airplane, and ask them the same closed ended question," is Mount Kilimanjaro one of the tallest mountains in the world?" Chances are, they will say NO.

You know why? The answer to that question lies with the POSITION from which the mountain is viewed.

Therefore, from the bottom of kilimanjaro, it can be said that it is one of the tallest mountains in the world. But from the plane's view, it is as small as a marble....

Did you get that?

Destiny partner, allow me to tell you this afternoon; when the devil is busy flaunting your flaws--what you can do and cannot do in this life, and when he reminds you that your best days are behind you not before you, you ought to remember that the definition of flaw in the devil's vocabulary is totally different from that of God.

Did you know that the devil's objective in reminding you of your past, weaknesses and failures is to make you WASTE time pondering around things that Jesus has paid for on the cross while he delays you from becoming what God has made you to become?

The devil understand the importance of time and season. And it is his utmost ambition to delay your meeting with destiny by reminding you of your flaws, current mistakes and supposedly fatal failures.

He wants you to major with minors.

The bible declares in the book ,2 Corinthians 12:9, "And he said unto me, My grace is sufficient for thee: for my strength is made perfect in weakness." [KJV]

Have you thought about the scripture that says, "His mercies are new every morning?" In other words, when you are in Christ, you have a clean slate every morning....halleluya!!!

When today was perfect...there won't be a need for tomorrow.

In Romans 8:26, we read, "And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose."

Never spend time pondering about things that Jesus has paid a ransom for. I call that majoring with minors. Your flaws have been paid for in FULL. The devil knows it. Jesus knows it. God the father knows it. Its only you who has not received the memo yet.

In the book of Genesis 37, we learn about the harsh experiences that Joseph had to go through to get to Egypt. At one time, his brothers sold him to the merchants going to Egypt. He sat as a slave in the caravans of the merchants going to his functional place....

I have got news for you this monday afternoon...what the devil thought was a horrendous experience, God thought of as a mode of transport to deliver Joseph to his land of Destiny.

Joseph could sob and complain about the harsh experience, but that could have been majoring in minors....

I want to tell you that we serve a GREAT GOD. He has a destiny for you. You were born for such a time. The strategic solutions for the anomalies or disorders of your industry or sector lies in the loins of your experiences. You are God solution to the world.

You must remember that you can do it. You are capacitated to prosper. Its not the question of If but its When...

Don't let the devil WASTE your time....the bible says in Ecclesiastes 3 that for every purpose on earth, there is a season...that includes your purpose.The devil is afraid of your launch. He plans to delay you.

Never Major with Minors....

It's time to seize your opportunities. Start that business even when the devil reminds you that you are not Richard Branson. Invest in Real Estate when all your peers tell you that you are not Donald Trump. Invest in the stock exhange even when you are told that you are not Warren Buffet.

Thinking about what you cannot do means majoring with minors.

Never major with minors.....

3 Important Principles of Our Life Assignment

Destiny Partner

Proverbs 18:16 [KJV]: "A man's gift maketh room for him, and bringeth him before great men. "

Good Afternoon, Destiny Partner. I am always excited when i get an opportunity to write this life changing article for you. My birth was authorised ONLY to help you connect with your life assignment. It is only when I do that I feel that I am in my functional place. Thank you for looking out for a Destiny AWAITS article every weekday...

I am truly humbled by the feedback I received over yesterday's snippet on my new not-yet-titled book. And thank you for those title suggestions i am receiving. Please keep on inboxing me your suggestions.

3 Important Principles Of Our Life Assignment

Every single person on planet earth is born with unique natural talents, aptitudes and special abilities that are crucial to those people accomplishing their life assignment.

You see, the bible says, a man's gift maketh room for him, and bringeth him before great men. It is important to understand though, that your gift has a potential to make you a star in some room but it's also important to know that you can't shine in every room.

You were designed to be exceptional in something.There is something that you were born with, that, in approximately 6 billion people we have on planet earth, not one else can do them they way you do.

And that which you are exceptional in, can help you a great deal in discovering the assignment of your life. We discovered yesterday that our lives have a predetermined purpose.

I get frustrated when i see people trying to become masters of everything. You were born to become exceptional in something but not in everything. It is impossible that you will master everything. You were designed like that. And such efforts often lead to frustration and misery.

God has capacitated you to become exceptional in something...And your gift was deposited into you, to enable you to accomplish your life assignment.

Some people have exceptional singing abilities while some have exceptional communication abilities. Whatever it is you were born exceptional in, it serves your life assignment.

God has made you exceptional maybe in singing because that gift is essential to making you effective in your life assigment. You don't know, but maybe God has laid the healing of nations in the melody of your voice.

Who knows, God has made you exceptional in business because that gift has the potential to provide you with resources that God can use to answer some of humanity's predicaments. In your exceptional business gift lies provision for erecting schools in Sudan and Somalia...you were capacitated to accomplish God's plan not yours.

God has made some exceptional in communication because in that gift lies attorneys, authors, motivational speakers, television presenters and politicians which are crucial to effect heavenly influences in our contemporary society.

You are exceptional in something...

Whatever it is you are exceptional in, it should help you accomplish the life assignment that God has authorised your birth for. There are 3 important principles of your life assignment that you need to understand...

1. It Carries With It The Position Of Influence

If where you are right now, be it in your business, career or any endeavour, you don't have a position of influence, then you are not in your destiny yet. God's ultimate plan is to push you into a position of influence to effect changes are in line with His word in particular industries or sectors.

2. It Always Benefit People

God never authorises a birth for one person. When we are in our destiny, our assignments should always benefit other people. The constant question you should ask yourself is, "Is my gift benefitting my society?"

If you are in a job that does not affect the bottom line...you are not in your destiny yet....

3. And It Always Brings God's Answer To Humanity's Predicaments

You are God's solution to the world. Your gift must answer crucial needs of society and if not, then you are not in your destiny yet. Every person who is born on earth, their birth was authorised ONLY because they were 'NEED MEETERS'

The Importance Of Work Ethic

Destiny Partner...

Good Morning, Destiny Partner. Today, characterises yet another day, closer to a more successful, wealthy and healthy YOU...And we are indeed grateful to have partnered with you in this exciting journey of discovery.

I have always said in my articles, that this group should shift your paradigms, enhance your thinking and motivate you to think differently. As Dr. John Tibane puts it, the same thinking that got you into trouble cannot take you out of trouble.

I relish challenging your beliefs and ideologies. And that is why in today's main essay,i chose to speak about the importance of work ethic.

Do you know what it is?

According to Wikipedia, WORK ETHIC is, "a set of values based on hard work and diligence. It is also a belief in the moral benefit of work and its ability to enhance character. A work ethic may include being reliable, having initiative, or maintaining social skills."

Please read that definition again....

Many people work around in life expecting life to give them things. And unfortunately, we see this disgusting attitude surfacing in many work environments today.

If you are blessed to have a job, both the employer and employee have unarticulated expectations. An employee, for an example expect their salary to be paid on the last day of every month, not one day later. And the employer expects you, the employee to work atleast 40 hours a week. This equals maybe 8 hours a day.

In other words, the foundation premise in the workplace should be; there is an exchange of salary for employee's time...In my observation, i see this very one-sided in the workplace. The employer honours the part of the contract while the employee doesn't...

But tell me something, destiny partner, are you honouring your part of this psychological contract? really?

There are 3 ways to develop your work ethic.....

#01. Stop Facebooking On The Company's Time

If your company pays you for 8 hours a day, that time belongs to your company. Stop facebooking 3 hours on the company's time. It's fine to facebook on your lunch hour NOT in the company's time. Many companies today, though, have adopted Facebook as part of their online marketing strategy. If your company and your job entails executing that strategy, you are well within your contract to do so. But otherwise please stop.

There are reported cases of unproductive employees who use company resources to Facebook. Its unethical and disgusting.

#02. Stop Wanting To Be Micro-Managed

We also living in the time today when many young people expect to be told what to do in the workplace, and be watched like a hawk while executing that. That is micro-management. It's outdated and does not work.

It's important to take initiative. You must understand what your employer expect of you, and do that, unmonitored. If you can't manage your time for somebody else's gain, you cannot manage it for your own gain.

#03 Find value in your work

The rainmakers in their industries respects their employer's time. They are able to distinguish between time-to-play and time-to-work. That includes, if you working for another black man or woman...respect their time.

It is sad how we black people can turn the world upside-down, running around for our white employers and be all chilled and lazy when we work for our black people.

Have you seen that? Its' disgusting.

If you would wear a uniform while cleaning Mineer Van Wyk's house...be happy to wear that uniform when working for Mr. Jonas.Find value in your work. Honour your word.

Respect your employer's time. It's important to develop these fundamental values.

If you are a student or you want to own your business, it's important to learn this fundamental values. You know why? Because What you do under authority is what you will do when you are in authority. If we can learn these things now...i can guarantee you, South Africa will never be the same again...

You Are The First Generation...That Comes With Some Responsibility

"You Are The Start Of The Generation That Is Destined For Greatness."

Thapelo Jonas

Good Morning Destiny Partner...I trust that you had a beautiful weekend, Because I Sure Did. Going To Lesotho This Past Weekend Was One Of The Best Decisions I Ever Made....It had lot of lessons, some of which i want to share with you today....

Many times when we speak about success, we often overlook the most important aspect of it, that, It is generational. In fact, some of the richest and successful people in our lifetime have learned to build their wealth for generations to come...

When you walk in large fields for planting like i did, and you see as many cattles, sheep and horses as i did and heard of, you are bound to ask questions. And these are the questions i asked when i arrived at my inlaws in Lesotho.

I learned that one man, in the form of their grandfather accumulated so much land and animals that even long after his passing, the following generations are still enjoying the wealth set by the first generation.

Unfortunately, not so many of us had the opportunity to grow in wealthy families, and by wealthy i mean, families where grand parents left enough wealth for the next generation to live on.

But allow me to submit you, Destiny Partner, you are the start of that generation destined for greatness...

You have an obligation to the next generation, to ensure that they enjoy the benefits of your wealth....That is the responsibility of the first generation....

In whatever you do today: you can be in varsity or high school, you can be in job or owning your own business, but i want you to remember that you are a builder....and whatever you build must not only sustain you, but it must sustain the next and next generation.

Wealth is for generations....

It saddens me when i see black people, after getting their first million, starting to buy luxury cars, and put themselves in debt soon after that. Destiny Partner, you are a builder. In all your actions today, you are building for the next generation. That's your responsibility because you are the first generation.

How can you Build For The Next Generation....?

#1. START PLANNING A FAMILY TRUST

What???????You might be sitting there, saying, "family trust, me???" Yes..You. It mights sound difficult but i will demonstrate what you can do.I am going to use a little example from my own family to show you what a family can do to build for the next generation.....

I come from a family of academics, they are not rich in physical assets but they have intellectual assets. My maternal grandparents believed in taking their children to school. And they had 6 children, and out of that, they were able to produce some 3 principals and one teacher...now that's my uncles and aunt. I think they did great, given the varying circumstances.

And the 6 in turn, were able to produce us...the third generation.

And that generation in my family is a generation of stars...And i am not just saying that because I am in it. And though some are in progress, it comprise of a doctor, accountant, nurse, engineers and entrepreneurs....

What does this have to do with building a family trust? let me show you...

If each one of these, say 10 grandchildren can bring their purchasing power to the table. Lets say i qualify for a million and others as well, we have 10 million which we could invest in some lucrative property or fund.

And this is how its going to work;

Each one's contribution will buy everyone from their family representation. Be it sisters and brothers and even their own unborn children.

What would happen is, any child who will be born from any represented family, would be guaranteed university scholarship...anywhere.

So when our children are still young, they know that daddy, uncles and aunts have made provisions for my university. They just have to show up at university. In turn, when they have qualified they can invest back in the family trust to ensure that their own families will be be provided for....

Won't that be great.....

Remember this; you are a builder. The next generation depends on you.

Yours In Motivation...
