Apostle Paul was a man with a distinct purpose, to see the Gospel of Jesus Christ carried to the whole world (Rom. 10:14-15). He acknowledged his commission straight from God (Acts 9:15) and did not require to have an order from the apostles in Jerusalem around what he was to impart (Gal. 1:15-17). When he expresses his deeper spiritual proficiencies, he penned as if he were reciting that of another (2 Cor. 12:1-10). Even then, he did so with the aim of exhorting others to be humble. It would take a vigilant student of Paul�s life several volumes of books to express all of the missional leadership principles that can be gleaned from his life and ministry. He delivered a living example of a man so dedicated to Christ that he was prepared to lay down his own life if it destined others would have the chance to respond to the magnificent Gospel of Christ. His motivation was to gratify Christ, and he considered beyond his individual life to train up the leaders that would be visible after his exit. He sought all men and women of belief in Christ to gaze toward the confidence we have in Jesus. His protection and peace in his life was not voiced by the world but derived through his companionship with Christ. Church leaders would be wise to continue to study and apply the principles of Christlikeness, loving relationship, prayerfulness, humility, persuading others, boldness, gentleness, uncompromising, faithfulness, assertiveness, shared leadership, integrity, servanthood, and spirituality that Paul lived out in his faith.
