Our Leader!

Today is Friday 28th a day after elections and the temperatures are rising from the results we are getting, clearly showing that Kenyan's have matured in decision making when it comes to choice of leadership:

As we think about the leadership that is coming from January 2008 think about these leaders who were asked to come and be leaders but preferred purpose to leadership apart from one kind of a leader:

Judges 9:
One day the trees went out to anoint a king for themselves. They said to the olive tree, 'Be our king.'
9 "But the olive tree answered, 'Should I give up my oil, by which both gods and men are honored, to hold sway over the trees?'
10 "Next, the trees said to the fig tree, 'Come and be our king.'
11 "But the fig tree replied, 'Should I give up my fruit, so good and sweet, to hold sway over the trees?'
12 "Then the trees said to the vine, 'Come and be our king.'
13 "But the vine answered, 'Should I give up my wine, which cheers both gods and men, to hold sway over the trees?'
14 "Finally all the trees said to the thorn bush, 'Come and be our king.'
15 "The thorn bush said to the trees, 'If you really want to anoint me king over you, come and take refuge in my shade; but if not, then let fire come out of the thorn bush and consume the cedars of Lebanon!'

So what kinds of leader have you and I chosen knowing that it is late to turn back!
