Natural Leader

     There are many kinds of leaders in the world.  However, there are very few natural leaders that leave an impact on nations throughout time.  In the last century there was Martin Luther King, Billy Graham, Charles Stanley, and few others.  They are all great men that have left a finger print in time.
     Paul was such an impactful leader that he is still impacts people hundreds of years later.  He helped people understand why we need to fast, worship, lay hands, and serve.  He was set apart by the Holy Spirit to do an impossible task, but made it work.  He had the power of the Holy Spirit, but he never started a project alone.  He took the counsel of those whom traveled with him.  They helped each other be better.
    Paul and his fellow missionaries would meet opposition, but they always managed to find solutions.  Paul was a natural leader because he was chosen and because he never let fear rule him.  He called evil out as evil.  His integrity and steadfastness is what led people.  He was the type of man where intelligent people and other leaders would turn to him acknowledging his unique qualities. (Acts 13:1-12)

^9"But Saul—also called Paul—filled with the Holy Spirit, stared straight at Elymas ¹⁰ and said, “You are full of all kinds of deceit and trickery, you son of the devil and enemy of all that is right. Won’t you ever stop perverting the straight paths of the Lord? ¹¹ Now, look, the Lord’s hand is against you. You are going to be blind, and will not see the sun for a time.” Immediately a mist and darkness fell on him, and he went around seeking someone to lead him by the hand.  ¹² Then, when he saw what happened, the proconsul believed, because he was astonished at the teaching of the Lord."  Acts 13:9-12 (CSB)
