The character qualities of Joseph are revealed in Genesis forty-five. Joseph refuses to retaliate against his brothers, but rather he sets his family up for a breakthrough blessing. He transitions his family out of famine and lack into abundance. He changes their economic status; Joseph positioned his family to receive a bailout package. This stimulus package not only stirred their economy as a family, it repositioned them for transgenerational wealth. The concept of transgenerational wealth requires generational planning. This is how many ethnic groups in developing countries have failed future generations. The lack of sacrificing present luxuries for future needs breeds a lack of integrity for stewardship. Unfortunately, even we in the West have embraced the same careless principles. These principles are robed with sophisticated degrees and approved by celebrities, accepted by popularity and executed by government. God's original plan for families has always been to establish a channel for His goodness and mercy of transgenerational wealth to flow through. This one act of transgenerational wealth would position Jacob's sons and his son's sons to come into their inheritance of the Abrahamic covenant. The transgenerational blessing of the Abrahamic covenant holds neither expiration date nor limitation of abundance nor scarcity of favor. The covenant of transgenerational blessings vetoes and dismantles the most restricted and hostel decrees and legislations of the day. The Egyptian government owned Hebrew slaves, which was the judicial custom of the day. Yet Pharaoh promised them the best land of Egypt and the very fat of the land. Oh my God, it gets even better in Genesis 45:18 which states, "And bring your father and your families back to me. I will give you the best of the land of Egypt and you can enjoy the fat of the land." (New International Version) Sponsor Ad When the scripture refers to the fat of the land, it means the choicest produce of the land. The God, El Shaddai, not only gave these slaves descendant land, but He also gave them the most fertile part of the land for future re-production. This land allotment of fertile soil positioned them to become financially self-sufficient through cultivating the best orchards and vineyards. Even globally today, the Israelis provide the world's best vegetation produce and vibrant flowers. Because of Joseph's loyalty and display of integrity to Pharaoh and his commitment to the transgenerational covenant, the favor of God was transferred from him to future tribes. They were able to develop a business that the sons of Jacob could inherit and pass on to their sons; this is a covenant example of transgenerational blessings. It is a promise to every believer that through us, the nations of the Earth shall be blessed. You have within your spiritual loins: job promotions, college education, houses, businesses, and career opportunities that have been provided by God through you for your family. Everything that God has predestined for you and your family has already been deposited in you. You are a courier of transgenerational blessings.
