Judges 4:1. When Ehud died, his followers (the Israelites)
went off track. Why does it always happen like this? Christian leaders need to
be proactive in forming new leaders that will not only continue their good work
but to take it to greater heights. To simply train another to be identical to
yourself is courting disaster. The moment you are dead, his real character will
come out and he may lead the people astray. Do not focus on the success of your
ministry. Focus on the success in ministry of those you are mentoring and
training to take your place. It is not only death that needs to happen for
succession to be necessary. In our modern world, we frequently move on in life
to some other place or endeavour. When we do, we have failed if we have not
trained a leader to take our place. It is unfortunate but sometimes unavoidable
that this doesn’t always work out. But it ought to most of the time, unless you
as a leader are doing something wrong.
