Africa needs to upgrade its HDI-By Ted Msipa(PhD)

Money Day Greetings my leader and may your joy be full in this season. May this be your best month ever.

This has been a great month for yours Truly as l continue to experience the manifold wisdom and goodness of Jehovah God. Surely goodness and mercy has followed me this month of August.

This week l had a great time in the lord with my friend Professor Chalwe, an amazing Teacher and Preacher of the Word. His exegesis of the Word is amazing, his dissection of the invalid man by the pool of Bethesda was a joy to decipher and behold. He further demonstrated his spiritual prowess by unleashing the theory of the exsocentric touch as illustrated by the woman of the blood issue. This is whereby a mere mortal reaches out from deep inside to touch the presence of God, such reaching out can not be ignored by God but gets a favorable response. The woman of the blood issue executed it successfully thereby significantly demonstrating the beauty of desperately reaching out to a God who is always there even in our zero hours. The message was a game changer for most of us whose very existence is dependent on Jehovah God. Jehovah Shammah is our ever present God, who shows up in our moments of wretchedness and desperation.

I also had a great time with my other brother, Dr. Tim Halcomb an amazing man of knowledge and humility. Tim had some amazing stuff to share about our education systems in Africa. According to Tim only 9% of adults in the African continent have achieved a Tertiary Education qualification. Of these nine percent, half has relocated overseas for green pastures as a part of the brain drain. It simply means that we have a lowly educated economically active population around to serve the continent. Yet some continents range from 70% to 88%. Africa is in trouble more than she realize because around 2050 projections indicate that about 25% of the world's population will be based in Africa because other continents are aging.Africa is becoming the most dominant continent. This is why we have to invest in the Higher Education fraternity aggressively now. Remember success is where opportunity and preparation meets. Africa must be ready for her moment of glory and the preparation starts now. As my mentor says leaders grow daily.

Today I celebrate yet another year of a purpose driven life. I have written a brand new book titled the Voice of Inspiration. If you love a free copy, reach out to me by WhatsApp so that I give you a copy. I never like placing books in the hands of people who are not interested.

Here are my thoughts for the week.

1.Every day you live is a miracle, always cherish it. Remember someone created it.

2.Do not waste time,hours turn into days, weeks, months and years therefore time is life.

3.You are not common or ordinary, cherish your uniqueness and be a game changer.

4.The greatest tragedy is not death but the fact that you never lived.

5.You are the company you keep, therefore choose wisely.

6.Live, love and leave a legacy, that is the only thing that matters.

7.The family you create is the most important family, strive to make it the best.

8.Allow sense to prevail, because there are things you can not do. You can not stop the rising of the sun and the falling of rain.

9.No matter how much you complain to the referee, never forget he has the final say. So stop kicking against the brickwall.

10.The fastest way to acquire wisdom is by fellowshiping with the wise.

11.Avoid fools, you will end paying for debts you do not owe.

12.The wise man loves instruction but the simple person hates correction.

13.If you are the most powerful person in your group it's time to leave it.

14.No matter what you are going through, God is a shout away. He is an ever present God.

15.Do not sing because you are happy, but be happy because you sang. Wise people know the difference.

16.Acquiring new knowledge is a good thing but applying it is the best thing.

17.Faith opens closed doors and raises dead situations to life but you need to practice it.

18.Time is a precious investment, make it count every time.

19.Do not hope for a bright future, go ahead and create it.

20. If you are not happy where you are move on, you are not a tree rooted to one place.

May Jehovah God grant you goodness and mercy in this season. Jesus Christ remains the Ultimate Leader. Follow Him and many will follow you. Get up stand up and show up. Your season has come.

Success is an attitude and let us meet at the top where you become the topic.
