Why a successor must do better than predecessor.
The term successor and predecessor refer to the term succeed and precede respectively. A successor takes over from a predecessor and continues from where the predecessor had ended. There are numerous reasons why a successor must do better than his predecessor. I look at three of them below:
1. The successor learns from the mistakes of the predecessor and makes sure not to repeat them. If mistakes were hindrance to greater heights then avoiding them makes the successor climb those heights.
2. The successor has a blueprint to build upon. The foundation is already laid. There is much exposure to the successor. And this makes the journey of the successor very easy...
3. The predecessor impacts him with gifts and strength to carry on. Romans 1:11, 2 Kings 2:1-13
It will therefore be an error for a successor not to do better than the predecessor
