Where does follower-ship come from? 2 Chronicles 17-20

What happens when we are put into leadership positions and we decide, or make a commitment to serve The Lord?   God sends people to support that work and that leadership ... He provides follower-ship!!!  Note in 17:16-19 we read of all the men in the army and who "volunteered" and were "appointed" in King Jehoshaphat's kingdom.   Since he was willing to put God first (17:3-4) God was willing to provide him someone to lead.   Note the same about King David, whom Jehoshaphat is compared to.  When David was being chased by Saul, not a real time of "positional leadership", he too was provided men to follow and protect and fight for him (2 Chronicles 12).  When Peter preached his first message 3,000 souls were saved to the church for Peter to lead.  His next message netted 5,000 more followers of Christ.   God always provides followers.   Christ had 12 and one of them was a misfit ... so, it is not the number of followers, but rather that followers are added to leadership by God.  In Christ's prayer before His crucifixion He thanks His Father for giving Him the 11 and praises the Father that He didn't lose any of the ones the Father "gave" Him, except Judas (John 17:6).  God will provide Godly leadership with follower-ship.  It may be a handful or it may be a nation-ful.   But, whoever follows is there because God added them.
