GREAT FATHER, NONENTITY CHILDREN

"DON'T LEAVE THEM BEHIND"
©Opeyemi Akintunde

Gershom was the first son of  Moses,  but we never really  heard much about him. This is as a result  of one of the mistakes made by great men.

Most great men leave their children behind,  they train other men's children. They unconsciously invest in their young,  uneducated errand boys who go about with them. Little do the  great men know,  that while their children  are at home watching TV,  the uneducated young errand boy that goes around with them is understudying and learning the keys to Sucess and greatness.

Little do the wives know that as the house girls stay in the kitchen and the kids sit in the living room watching TV,  they are empowering the uneducated village girl,  and leaving their children behind.

Little does the pastor  know,  that as he goes to church investing in other people's children,  and he doesn't sit daily  with his children discussing the word of God,  is like a man  who is repairing another man's car when His own car needs serious  attention. When all is done,  the other person will drive off,  and he will have no car to drive.... No wonder,  most pastors' kids become wayward and can not take over after their fathers..

Moses left his children behind with his wife and father in law Jethro,  while Joshua  became His errand boy,  watching the different miracles,  understudying Moses, no wonder, Joshua became the next leader of Isreal. Even though,  Jethro brought them back much  later.

Fathers, Mothers, Pastors, Businessmen and Women don't leave your children  behind,  carry them along,  stop training other men's children while yours stay back at home... Let them experience what you experience that makes you you,  let them become your P, As,  your errand boys and girls. DON'T LEAVE THEM BEHIND..

Exd 18:2

PUT ONLY RUNNERS ON YOUR TEAM

PUT ONLY RUNNERS ON YOUR TEAM Tayo Onaleye John 20.1-4 Team building is a major function of leadership. And broadly speaking, there can just be only two types of people on any team: those who are running with the vision and those who are not. It takes running to actualize any vision. Hab 2:2 And the LORD answered me, and said,Write the vision, and make it plain upon tables, that he may run that readeth it.  Only those who are running with the vision will help actualize it. Those on the team who are not running with the vision will eventually ground it. Mat 12:30 He that is not with me is against me; and he that gathereth not with me scattereth abroad. Running with the vision symbolises PASSION. Hence only those who are passionate about the vision will actually pay the price to see it materialise. Every vision faces challenges. Only those who are passionate about the vision will stick with it for the long haul. Those who are not passionate about the vision ...
