Despite the fact that God had raised him up and gave him the Kingdom of Israel, Jeroboam did evil in God’s sight. He paid dearly for his transgressions. God caused his entire family to be eliminated. He could have done right and brought honor to his family name. God had given him a leadership platform and he trashed his opportunity.

God raises up leaders and gives them the choice to either follow His Ways or their own. He gifts them with leadership ability from the womb. Parents have a unique opportunity to cultivate godliness within their children, and those called to leadership have great potential to impact the world for Christ.
