The Role Of The Apostle Paul, God As A Leader

A few people may believe that pioneers are conceived and a few people may feel that pioneers are made. I imagine that pioneers lead their group from his or her possibilities and learning. Because of the Apostle Paul, God as a successful pioneer, a man that is known how to oversee and is dedicated to his or her run, picked him. As pioneers, we are vessels. If we are going to be effective, our passion needs to exceed our Magnitude, be the vessel that overflows with enthusiasm and excitement for your vision. The key to Paul’s self-identity as a leader was his role as an apostle (Smith, 2014). The key to that role was the fact that it was a divine appointment and that it involved a mission commanded, and enabled by God and governed by the Spirit

He never hesitated to preach the gospel, no matter what the consequences was (Mack, 2014). When speaking of integrity, Proverbs 20:7 notes, “The righteous who walks in his integrity-blessed are his children after him” (NKJ). Paul was also committed (Mack, 2014). He was committed to teaching God’s word, regardless of the location (Mack, 2014). Paul had tried coming to the church in Rome, numerous of times, but one thing after the other hindered him (Goriola, 2010). In spite of all obstacles, Paul was determined to preach and minister to the brethren in Rome at all cost and this he did through an epistle (Goriola, 2010).Paul’s leadership, then, rested on a divine appointment of God and it was part of the eternal plan and purpose of God (Smith 2014). Titus 1:1-3 notes that, “Paul, a servant of God and an apostle of Jesus Christ, for the sake of the faith of God’s elect and them knowledge of the truth, which accords with godliness, in hope of eternal life, which God, who never lies, promised before the ages began and at the proper time manifested in his word through the preaching with which I have been entrusted by the command of God our Savior”

Paul 's administration, then, was the absolute opposite of the initiative models pervasive in Graeco-Roman culture. (Smith, 2014) By his own particular affirmation and goal, his administration mirrored the shortcoming, silliness, lowliness, mortification, altruism, abstemiousness, and enduring of his Ruler (Smith, 2014). It depended on this essential examination with Christ that the super and false witnesses were uncovered as impostors (Smith, 2014). They were pioneers regarding social impact, however their message and way of life showed that they were not Christian pioneers, but rather workers of Satan (Smith, 2014). 2 Corinthians 11:13–15 states, "For such men are false missionaries, Deceitful laborers, camouflaging themselves as witnesses of Christ.In addition, no wonder, for even Satan Disguises himself as an angel of light. So it is no surprise if his servants, also, disguise themselves as servants of righteousness. Their end will correspond to their deeds”
