I heard a message spoken a long time ago. The speaker brought out the character of Joseph in the book of Genesis 41:43 “And he made him to ride in the chariot which he had..”
The leadership journey is one to be experienced only when you have made a commitment to grow not just for self but for the benefit of others. Ultimately leadership development happens in the school of life. Character, competence and capacity are key in a leaders life. I personally have the privilege to continue to learn and grow from some awesome leaders like Pastor Sonny Arguinzoni Sr. and his son my pastor Sonny Jr. no one knows the great benefits of learning to follow great men like these.
Joseph was not the main leader but had the responsibility to oversee much of Pharaoh’s kingdom. When a leader is placed in such position, you and I will never realize the great benefit of becoming the leader God wants you to be. Others may label such leadership as second in command, which Joseph understood but did not limit his leadership.
