Man is never created to be self-independent, he is created to be a follower. When he ceases to follow, he will certainly head for doom. Categories of his following includes:
- God for direction, divine guidance and fulfillment. It is in following God that he derives his satisfaction. Outside of God, he remains empty. [Ephesians 5:1, Matthew 4:19]
- His leaders for inspiration, reference, examples & models, human guidance & mentorship, who follow – one that is following Christ. [Heb 6:12, 1 Cor 4:16, Phil 3:17;4:9]
- Himself for inner witness and personal conviction, conscience & personal principles. [2 Chronicles 13:5]
“Who you follow determines what follows you” – [Psalms 23:1-6]
“Your followership gives you access into the spirit of the one you follow.”
