Evangelist Paul Saungweme on the Principles of Lasting Leadership
Leadership is a topic that has been extensively researched, but probably less practiced. While the world has seen great leaders who left lasting impressions of hope, it has also seen promising leaders who faltered. Today, we explore the principles of lasting leadership through the teachings of Evangelist Paul Saungweme.

What is True Leadership?
Using Kevin Kruse’s definition, “Leadership is a process of social influence, which maximises the efforts of others, towards the achievement of a goal.” The heart of leadership is a matter of choice and determination. Whether internally motivated or divinely inspired, it is a personal choice to answer the call.
A Biblical Case Study: The Failure of Joshua
Evangelist Paul Saungweme, founder of Jesus For Africa Evangelistic Ministries, uses Joshua 24:15 as a key example. Joshua led Israel into the promised land and did many great exploits. However, Evangelist Saungweme opines that Joshua lost it on being a true leader when he closed his ministry by focusing only on his family.
His statement, “but as for me and my house, we will serve the Lord,” points to a failure to cling to the bigger picture. Instead of saving all of God’s people, he confined himself to his family. He started well and ended badly.

The evangelist further stressed, “As a leader, one must think in terms of helping or doing things for a bigger constituency, nation and the next generation.” Soon after Joshua’s death, the Bible tells us, “every man did that which was right in his own eyes” (Judges 17:6). He left a legacy of chaos and disorder because his focus had narrowed.
The Principles of Lasting Leadership
In concluding, the prolific man of God quipped, “As an evangelistic ministry we must not just focus on ourselves, but on the people we are ministering to and even beyond our generation.” He questions, “What legacy are we leaving behind?” Lasting leadership entails departure from nepotism and shunning the betrayal of trust. The goal must always be to start well and end well.
