CONCON? Charter Change? Leadership?

For the past years, our politicians have been talking about charter change - presidential to a parliamentary form of government and just last night I heard news that congress is planning to push the CONCON.

How sad that our "leaders" and some sectors of the public think that changing the form of government will improve life, solve poverty and destroy corruption - basing their views on the success of governments that follow the parliamentary form. I can see it now where "leaders" will go on TV, radio, print and the internet... justifying the need to change the charter.

My brothers and sisters... the problem with our government is not the structure but rather the people who "run"... who "lead". What's the use of changing the form of government if the "leaders" that will be in the new form of government are the same people who run the current one?

If we're serious in changing our lives! There is only one answer - Jesus! Surrender to his Lordship and follow his teaching of loving God above all and loving your brothers as you love yourself. The world we live in - blinds us to the truth. It blinds us to the point that we put money as our god. That my friends is the problem. Yes money is a nessesity to survive... but it shouldn't rule our lives! God should be our ruler! And this world has also blinded us to look-out for ourselves... self-love... selfishness... which is a contradiction of Jesus' teaching of loving your brothers as yourself.

Leadership in this world equates to Position, Power and Privilege... but REAL LEADERSHIP is becoming a servant and being subservient - just like the greatest leader of all time! Jesus Christ!

Leadership is moving people onto God's agenda, not ours! We are nothing without him! All glory and honor should be for him alone.

Matthew 20: 24 - 28

²⁴When the ten heard about this, they were indignant with the two brothers. ²⁵Jesus called them together and said, "You know that the rulers of the Gentiles lord it over them, and their high officials exercise authority over them. ²⁶Not so with you. Instead, whoever wants to become great among you must be your servant, ²⁷and whoever wants to be first must be your slave— ²⁸just as the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom for many."
