Time to change



I'm counting my days...asking GOD & myself. Have I done enough for the next gen of leaders? Have I really impacting their life and have they learn something from me? Before I begin a new journey, I have to end this journey. Changing route, heading towards a new land. Changes doesn't always feel good at first but it sure make a whole lot difference in ones life IF it's a good changes. In the past I've made some changes in my life which is not a good changes tho it seems like a right thing to do at first. It's a painful experience.

We all need to change, leaders need to change. We need to move forward and let the new leaders take over our place...don't hold on to your position, but hold on tight to your commitment towards the ministry...that shows what kind of leader you are.

I don't know why, i have this little worry in my heart concerning the young leaders. Not that I don't trust them, but I felt that they're more than just a leader or brothers & sisters to me...they are like my own children. I felt that as a "father", i want to see my children (the young people of RYC) growing up to be a better person...better than myself....achieving BIGGER things in life compare to what I've done. I want them not to repeat my mistake..i want them to remember whatever life's lesson I've thought them and whatever advices i gave.

This is not a "good bye" but this is a "I put my trust in you, i know you can do it without me by your side". Just as we leaving our parents to live a life on our own, so does us, as a leaders giving wings for the younger leaders to fly.
To change to a better condition, we need to leave the old condition of us even if it's a comfort zone for us. Changes requires us to lose some in other to gain. This what scares most leaders...to let go. The fear of losing their so-called "glorious moment" in ministry.

It's time to change to a new wineskin..-"And no one puts new wine into old wineskins; otherwise the new wine will burst the skins and will be spilled, and the skins will be destroyed. But new wine must be put into fresh wineskins. And no one after drinking old wine desires new wine, but says, “The old is good" Luke 5:37-39
I'm ready for a change. How about you?
