Everyday they continued to meet together in the temple courts. They broke bread in their homes and ate together with glad and sincere hearts, praising God and enjoying the favor of all the people. And the Lord added to their number daily those who were being saved. The spiritual leader, whether he is a pastor or a lay-person in the congregation, influences others not by the power of his own personality alone but by that personality irradiated and empowered by the Holy Spirit. Because he permits the Holy Spirit undisputed control of his life, the Spirit's power can flow unhindered through him to others.
Spiritual leadership is a matter of superior power, and that can never be self-generated.
There is no such thing as a self-made spiritual leader. Nevertheless, because qualities of natural leadership are by no means unimportant in spiritual leadership, there is value in seeking to discover leadership potential both in oneself and in others. If we want more of God in our lives as we enter into the twenty-first century, and we want to go further than we have ever gone before in our walk with God, then it is necessary to return back to the basics, the reason why the Church exists.
