Become the Legacy Leader God Created You To Be

John Maxwell's 25 Ways to Win with People:
20. Tell A Good Story - Paul (Acts 26:1-29)
In these verses Paul tells his story to King Agrippa because Paul has been jailed without charges. In the speech Paul makes he recounts where he came from as a Pharisee himself, his conversion and post-conversion life. Paul told his story and the story of Christ without fear. King Agrippa was so impressed with Paul's speech/story that he said in verse 28; "You almost persuade me to become a Christian."

Mike's Thoughts:
As a leader, it is important for me to model Paul whenever I speak, especially to groups. I need to speak with authority and have my facts straight and to speak the truth without fear.

Mike's Action Points:
1- Before I speak, I will pray for knowledge on the topic.
2- I will pray for courage to speak the truth without fear.
3- I will pray for wisdom on how to present the speech for the most positive
effect on my audience.

Mike's Thought for the Day:
"Life may not be fair; but it's still good. Let's appreciate our blessings."
