Some leaders project their limitations onto the people they lead.

One of the most painful things that happen in many Christian gatherings is that the leader cast his limitations on everybody. I'm sorry, if the pastor's wife is laid back, she will engineer all the women to be laid back. If you're a woman who is futuristic, forward-thinking, you are a rebel. If the pastor is laid back, they will Why must we cast our limitations on everyone? Why? And so sometimes what we call doctrine, what we call training in some spiritual gatherings, is actually the man of God is sincere with God but not sincere with the people, casting his limitations on everybody. What he can't achieve, say no, no, all that you should just be is another Femi Lazarus, another pastor, whatever it is. If you are in a place where you look around and everybody is small, the moment you start thinking differently, you become the odd one out. At that point, success becomes rebellious. Nobody is outrightly fighting it, but the atmosphere is conditioned against it. They pray that God will send an outsider that will come and do it. But no insider can rise. Look at the deception. The outsider that is the helper they are praying for, if that outsider dream from that place, he will never become. Look at how Saul was telling David, you can't fight Goliath, you are young. But Goliath started fighting from his young age. He started early. You, you are too early. And if you go back and check the things I've taught you, I've taught about construct and all those things, there is a way the setting will be, you will just tell yourself that let me just be like the rest, particularly if you don't like confrontation.
