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.
