Rebellion (Eze 2815-17) Took 1/3 of angels with
him. (Isa 1412-14, Jude 16) Korah, Datha and
Abiram (Num 162-3) They exist in churches today

authority and power with God, but heart was not
circumsized(Num 3116) corrupted leadership

THE EMERGING LEADER
POSITIVE EXAMPLES OF LEADERSHIP Daniel (Dan 18)
chose to be set apart, not to be defiled. He
desired the intimacy with God. because they
chose to be set apart God gave them knowledge and
skill in all learning and wisdom and Daniel had
understanding in all visions and dreams (Daniel
117) Dan 2 - God gave Daniel the wisdom to be
able to interpret the dream for the king. Deborah
(Judges 42-5) rallied a nation to victory
Hannah (1 Sam 15-6, 11, 13-14, ) Emerging
leadership bears a cost. For a samuel to come
forth, it cost Hannah much.
