‘We Need To See This.’

Chris.
This Leader was a
Teacher and a King of God’s People. I cannot agree with the Teaching that every
“Christian” is a Leader, I cannot accept even that every True Believer is a
Leader because Leadership is a gift from God. There are some Leaders who make
themselves Leaders but do not have the Gift of Leadership and this can create
so many problems amongst the people that they lead. Leadership is a gift from
God and needs to be discerned in God’s People by those people who are already
functioning as Leaders.
