An understanding of the concepts of power and authority is indispensable to any form of effective leadership. At an elementary level, power is the ability to do something. Authority refers to the legitimate permission to exercise power. Jesus set the example for the use of power and authority in spiritual leadership in the church by calling His disciples to find greatness through servanthood, pointing to the fact that He Himself came not to receive service, but to give it. Dr. John A. Tetsola in this book masterfully explains and brings clear understanding to the levels of governing authorities in the church, government, family and over our lives and how they impact our walk and lifestyle. In this powerful book you will come to understand the following:

• The strength of biblical authority
• Sovereign authority and its power
• The authority of truth and its power
• The authority of the conscience and its power
• Delegated authority and its power
• Stipulated customs and functional authority and its power
• And much more
