Godly Inheritance

Proverbs 13:22 - A good man leaves an inheritance for his children's children, but a sinner's wealth is stored up for the righteous.

Unlike an earthly inheritance that is passed on after death, a spiritual one is imparted over the course of a lifetime through godly words and actions. There are many spiritual treasures you can leave to your children that will have a lasting impact on their lives.

What is your legacy? What is mine? How do I carry it over?

As a few pointers you should have:
 - A desire to follow Jesus.
 - A reverence for God’s Word.
 - An understanding of how to listen to the Lord.
 - A pattern of obedience. 
 - A faith that conquers the trials of life.
 - A forgiving heart.
 - An orderly lifestyle.
 - A servant's spirit. 
 - A generous hand.
 - Sincere love. 

There are more, and notice that they are all good...

So, what's next

Reality, that's what is next! The reality is that the lockdown period is in all probability going to be extended. The government thus far overachieved in their efforts to contain COVID-19 in South Africa, showing what could be done if we unite and start driving strategy in one, unified direction. This is something that was only previously seen during the 1994 elections, the Rugby World Cup triumphs of the Springboks, en the hosting of the 2010 Soccer World Cup. It is halfway through this 21 day lockdown today. We are getting there. The exponential growth has diminished and we are able to focus on getting back a portion of what a our previous reality was. Spesres , and our sister companies, would be able to help with that. During the week that lies ahead of us, we intend launching our New Venture Creation course online. This would assist our current students to continue their studies even during lockdown. One of the large mobile network providers is engineering reverse billi...

The more things stay the same

Do yourself the favour and Google the meaning of this saying. Wikipedia has it as: “ Turbulent changes do not affect reality on a deeper level other than to  cement  the  status quo .” There is even a song from Bon Jovi about it, with the same name: “The more things change the more they stay the same The more things change the more they stay the same Ah, is it just me or does anybody see The new improved tomorrow isn't what it used to be Yesterday keeps coming around, it's just reality It's the same damn song with a different melody The market keeps on crashing Tattered jeans are back in fashion Instead of records, now it's mp3s I tell you one more time with feeling Even though this world is reeling You're still you and I'm still me I didn't mean to cause a scene But I guess it's time to roll up our sleeves The more things change the more they stay the same The same sunrise, it's just another day If you hang in long ...

Do the right thing

Image
During the lockdown there are a million things on the internet, social media and WhatsApp doing the rounds to get people motivated and working. There are so many things getting us down: Potential financial impact of the lockdown, job losses, lack of exercise, loneliness, etc, etc, etc. No matter what we do and the plans we are trying to make, there are so many pitfalls and roadblocks around, that normal is no longer normal. We have to either compromise, adjust or get left behind. It's a harsh reality. During the past week I attended a Zoom briefing of Doxa Deo Brooklyn for small businesses, with an economic outlook of what is currently taking place as well as some practical advise to ensure you keep the boat afloat. The image below was relevant, especially the 3 points on the bottom right: To make it practical: Support people and businesses affected by lockdowns Proverbs 10 verse 9 reads: Whoever walks in integrity walks securely, but whoever takes crooked paths will...
