2 Chr12:1 When the rule of Rehoboam was established and he was strong, he abandoned the law of the Lord, and all Israel with him. 2 In the fifth year of King Rehoboam, because they had been unfaithful to the Lord

This was only the 3rd generation and no wonder the Chinese say that wealth can hardly preserve through the 3rd generation.

What then the legacy... even I am around and Josef is able to continue the work, how about the 3rd generation.

The first generation, came with nothing and saw how the Lord bless, like David, from a shepherd boy to a great king. Solomon enjoyed the secured establishment and peace and the Lord added more to him. But because Solomon did not go through the 'hardship' that David went through, soon he was overwhelm by plesasures and that even overtook the wisdom he has and exahgne that for foreigh gods and forsake the God of Israel.

Of course, the 3rd generation has everything that was accumulated from the last 2 generations and never witness God.

To me this is serious and no wonder 2 Tim 2: 2 2 and what you have heard from me in the presence of many witnesses entrust to faithful men who will be able to teach others also.

That is the witness and discipleshp from Paul to Timothy to faithful men and to others. 4 generations.

This I pray for the legacy to continue the works should not be from me, but I am a steward of your talents and your works. I pray that God you grant me the know-how to teach and impart Josef and the next generations and so much that Josef will be able to do likewise.

Lord, this is your work and I pray that you will preserve it and they will come to past.
