Raising leaders is not a one-day assignment — it’s a daily discipline.
Leadership doesn’t just happen; it is cultivated intentionally, starting from the cradle.
But today, leadership is becoming “igiworoko to n dà iná rú” —
everyone wants to shine alone, and that’s exactly what makes teamwork hard.
Yet, we are not called to impress — we are called to influence.
“The Lord will make you the head and not the tail.”
— Deuteronomy 28:13
We were designed for headship, not followership by default.
And let’s be honest:
where the head goes, the body follows.
Where leaders go, society goes.
Jesus made it clear:
“Go and train everyone you meet…”
— Matthew 28:18–20 (MSG)
That means we are meant to be a cultural force, shaping culture, not copying it.
“Arise, shine…”
— Isaiah 60:1–3 (NLT)
Here’s the truth Gen Z needs to hear:
God Himself is the champion of collaboration.
“Let US make man…”
— Genesis 1:26
That one verse kills the “I can do it alone” mindset.
Leadership requires a shift from me to us.
Your vision must align with God’s purpose, because there are assignments you will never be able to execute solo.
“It is not good for man to be alone.”
— Genesis 2:18
Vision Needs People If your vision doesn’t need people, it’s probably too small.
You must learn how to recruit people into the pursuit of vision.
That’s exactly what Jesus did — His first move was building a team.
And here’s the hard truth:
The quality of a team can never rise above the quality of the people in it.
The major assignment God has given you cannot be accomplished alone.
Yes, with God you can create something out of nothing, but God still works through people.
Sell the Vision
Don’t assume people will magically show up.
They won’t.
You must take courage, walk up to people, and sell the vision. Leadership is not passive.
Collaboration is intentional.
And impact is always collective.
