realized his leadership role and responsibilities for a cause greater than that of his single person. The chapter repeatedly mentioned how he had no intention of becoming a prominent leader after his testimony. However, his message and delivery was so powerful and inspirational that he converted his audience to his followers/supporters.

Respect, love, right from wrong, these are very important things to have in Christian leadership. Charter and values of a person are different. Our charter is a spiritual fruit and a blessing that is built from a real, Godly relationship and total commitment to Christ as Lord. In order for us to develop a strong charter, the flow from the Fruit of the Holy Spirit must be accessed and developed (Galatians 5:22-23).
