Grass-root And Foundational Leadership

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

Many stories has been told of great men, but one mistake has been a reoccurring mistake in most cases. Common one in biblical days is; GERSHOM. Gershom was the first son of  Moses, but we never really hear much about him. This is as a result of one of the mistakes made by great men!

Little do mothers know that as the house girl stays 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, he 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. Little wonder, most pastors' kids become wayward and cannot take over after their fathers.

The Common Mistake of Great Leaders; 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. Doing almost nothing or close to nothing!

Let them experience what you experience that makes you what you are. Let them become your PAs, even your errand boys and girls. Let people say that they are following their father's step. Don't leave your children behind in your pursuits.
