One of the most important things that Jesus did was delegate
the responsibility and authority of His ministry to his disciples
Jesus knew that the disciples would do their greatest work only after He left them. He said, "He
who believes in Me the works that I do will he do and greater works than
these will He do because I go to intercede at the right hand of my
Father." (John 14:12)
We need to empower those who work with us in ministry, those who we lead and encourage and instruct to have the desire and the authority to trust God for greater works without having to constantly supervise or control them.
Jesus knew that it would be for the disciples’ benefit for Him to ascend to heaven Jesus said, "It is for your benefit that I leave you, for after I leave I will send you the Holy Spirit, who will guide and teach you and empower you." (John 16:6)

It’s not that human leaders can fail you but that they will. When we allow the Lord to work
through our gifts and callings and we allow the Holy Spirit to have control of
our lives we can do these ‘Greater works'.
When we hold on to control, when we refuse to release people and give them authority to do the work that God has for them, we actually limit what God can and will do through them. Authority is to be delegated. When authority is delegated it is released and multiplied.
