disciple

in this information age, all wants to be leaders. Many wants to be first among 1000. then there are those stars who wants to be one in a million. if i write asking me to be a disciple, you may feel i am little out of touch with the world.

what is important in team building?. leader has to tell what is expected from the group. if leader does not have a vision, my advice is leave that group. leader without vision goes nowhere and he is going to drown you with him. we talked that in mission.

then we need disciples to make things happen.

why do people follow?. is it that they don't have another option that they follow.

when i think more about it, what makes a person to follow the leader is the trust the leader has build in the disciple. when disciple knows that the leader has best interest of the group in his mind, disciple will do all that is needed.

I have seen people taking credit for following rule of the land or commandments of their religion. Some call them self as law abiding citizen. Some as pious follower of the religion. If they do it without trusting the nation or God of the religion, i don't know what to call them.

i follow rules of this country because of her promise of American dream to all. i follow my religion because of the trust my God has built in me through His service. my trusted nation can fail me. my trusted leader/boss can fail me. my trusted friend may fail me. my trusted parents can fail me. my trusted wife can fail me. They may not say or do things for my best interest.

i know someone who has you and me in our best interest. do you like to know?
