MESSAGE
People who envy those who are at the top lack understanding of the benefits that come from association. As far as Im concerned, a number two being friends with number 1 is in a very good position. For instance, Jesus singlehandedly picked Peters ship for a great catch but the blessing was so much that it spilled over to the other fishermen without any stress.
When my Father-in-the-Lord was still alive, I enjoyed a lot of benefits from being just a pastor. I didnt have so many responsibilities other than interpreting for him and going on evangelism. I wasnt bothered about so
many things because Papa was there to handle them but when he went to be with the Lord, the reality of leadership dawned on me.
Dear child, dont be in a hurry to enjoy certain blessings or step into some positions without adequate preparations. If youre in a second position today, God expects you to give the person in the first position your full support. Also, make the most of it, learning and equipping yourself for greater heights. Dont waste that time envying and scheming how to take over.You’d be doing yourself a great disservice.
Action Point
Be a good follower.
