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

LIFE IS ABOUT FOLLOWING

LIFE IS ABOUT FOLLOWING Tayo Onaleye Psalm 63.8 My soul followeth hard after thee: thy right hand upholdeth me. The Christian life is a journey with the Master. It's about following Him, His agenda and pattern. 1. FOLLOW JESUS Mat 4:19 And he saith unto them, Follow me, and I will make you fishers of men. He is the author and finisher of our faith. He's the Bishop of your soul and the Great Shepherd.  He's the No.1 person to follow. We follow Jesus by following the leading of the Holy Spirit in us and the Word of God. The first calling of the disciple is not to preach but to follow. Mark 3.14 And he ordained twelve, that they should be with him, and that he might send them forth to preach, 2. FOLLOW YOUR LEADER Don't hang around a leader you refuse to follow. Mat 10:38 And he that taketh not his cross, and followeth after me, is not worthy of me. You can't help the the fellow who refuses to follow. Hebrews 13.17 Obey them that have t...

Genesis 26. 13  And the man waxed great, and went forward, and *grew* until he became very great:  Christianity is a covenant between God and man. And this covenant operates on *keys* Things work for you in God's kingdom to the degree that you apply the keys of the kingdom/covenant. Matthew 16.19  And I will give unto thee *the keys of the kingdom* of heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt bind on earth shall be bound in heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven. *Growing* is one of the keys of the covenant. The covenant key of growth means that even though you  are  blessed, you cannot experience the fullness of the blessing in the kingdom *unless you grow* Galatians 4.  1  Now I say, That the heir, *as long as he ...
