A Position Doesn't Make a Leader

"Then all Israel came together to David at Hebron, saying, 'Indeed we are your bone and your flesh.' Also, in time past, even when Saul was king, you were the one who led Israel out and brought them in; and the Lord your God said to you, 'You shall shepherd My people Israel, and be ruler over My people Israel'." 1 Chronicles 11:1-2

As the most influential man in the country, David was leading long before Saul lost his throne. Like it or not, position doesn't make a person a leader. Title may give someone authority, but not influence. Influence comes from the person; it must be earned. David had earned it and Saul had not. Why was this so?

Unity: David rallied the people and created unity.
Identification: David identified with his followers as family.
Credibility: David effectively led military campaigns.
Anointing: David enjoyed God's hand and power on his life.
Partnership: David worked cooperatively with key leaders.
