So many people go through life feeling like failures in the sight of God. Similar to the broken individuals that leave school or childhood, believing they don't have what it takes. Failures in the sight of man. They have been properly prepared to follow rather than to lead, to do as they are told. In effect controlled and perfectly oppressed.
How many within Christianity feel they are not worthy, failures in the sight of God? In fact they are encouraged by many sects within Christianity to think that way just so that they become easier to control and to benefit from. Quite often using that principle, they are even manipulated to side in the politics of man over the will of the Kingdom. Like school psychologists, these leaders (be they secular or religious) convince their charges they have minion unworthiness in order to create a position of seeming necessity for themselves. They hope to guarantee their positions of leadership.
Jesus came to make us free by way and ways of the Kingdom. He did not establish Himself as a leader and us as supporters, but taught if we too did what He did, we could have the same. Servitude over monarchy. How many churches teach we are useless unless we follow Him (thus themselves) as a leader rather than as a fellow servant of God? How many keep us feeling hopeless or fearful so that, rather than following the Kingdom, we must follow worldly institutions that we think have us in their best interests?
Seems to me more need to see the difference between God setting us free of ourselves compared to the world (be it secular or religious) keeping us in the mold of it's own image.
