Davidic LeadershipIn the hour of darkness..
let’s raise mighty, not wimpy men
King David was concern about his whole army, not partial…Marketplace apostolic leadership needs
to look into the interest of the Body not parts
King David was exercising affirmative justice, sharing the plunder between the 400 and 200 men…Marketplace leaders need to conquer every selfish ambition such as greed, personal interest, narcissism and exhibit unequal justice & generosity going against self kingdom
King David did not surrender to the seduction of dark motive to avenge King Saul…Marketplace leaders need to recognize authority and protocol in order for God to do His part for us
Davidic Leadership
From Cave to Conquest
God has reserved faithful remnants for Himself in the last days
God is already training mighty men for the last days
Mighty men will assemble and together arise from their hidden place
They are faceless, unknown to many yet vanguards of the Lord, great in doing exploits for His kingdom
Mighty Men of God
