It is because it is about how the leader is always looking for people with certain qualities to be the next generation of leaders who will carry the word of God to the next generation of believers.

Many become Christian and are on their way to heaven, but not all are called to lead others. There are believers who then become disciples who eventually become leaders.

Matthew 7:14 Because narrow is the gate and constricted is the way which leads to life, and there are few who find it. (MKJV)

Q1/ Only a few will be saved. (True or false)

Not all will be saved only a few will find salvation, but if there is no one to tell them about Jesus even they could be lost. Everyone that believes and call on Jesus will be saved.

Romans 10:13 For everyone, "whoever shall call on the name of the Lord will be saved." 14 How then shall they call on Him in whom they have not believed? And how shall they believe in Him of whom they have not heard? And how shall they hear without preaching? 15 And how shall they preach unless they are sent? As it is written, "How beautiful are the feet of those who preach the gospel of peace and bring glad tidings of good things!"

Q2/ We need more preachers to teach the word of God. (True or false)

Few

Out of all that are saved only a few will hear and obey the call of leadership.

Matthew 20:16 So the last shall be first, and the first last, for many are called, but few are chosen. (MKJV)

One of the few: Moses

The Leader of God’s people has a burden that not many can see. Moses wanted his people to walk in freedom and in victory, but his burden was great.

All the people called him to deal with disputes day and night. He was a man of great wisdom and therefore people would trust him to solve their problems.

Q3/ The leader want to do a good job. (True or false)

Exodus 18:17 And Moses' father-in-law said to him, The thing that you do is not good. 18 You will surely wear away, both you and this people that is with you. For this thing is too heavy for you; you are not able to perform it alone. 19 Listen now to my voice; I will give you counsel, and God will be with you. You be for the people toward God, that you may bring the causes to God. 20 And you shall teach them ordinances and laws, and shall make them know the way in which they must walk, and the work that they must do. 21 And you shall look out of all the people able men, such as fear God, men of truth, hating unjust gain. And place such over them to be rulers of thousands, and rulers of hundreds, rulers of fifties, and rulers of tens. (MKJV)
