Acts Sixteen

Influence is vital for a leader. If he/she has little influence with those around them, they will have a difficult time mobilizing and motivating those people. Paul and Silas show towards the end of this chapter a great way that leaders build influence.

As God provides a cell shattering earthquake, Paul and Silas stay when it would be understood if they ran. This literally saved the physical life of one guard and and the spiritual life of his family. They stood their ground in such a difficult situation. Because of this their story reached a larger sphere of influence.

People are watching to see how you interact with them and those around you. Being aware of this can be a catalyst in your development as not only a leader but a follower of Christ.
