THE SPIRITUAL LEADER Supt. Dexter L. Coleman, Sr., is the pastor and founder of the Kingdom Harvest COGIC. He is a new testament preacher with a Pentecostal flavor. He is a chosen vessel of the Lord who leads by precept and example. As a spiritual leader in this grace dispensation, Supt. Coleman proclaims that we are saved by grace and not of works, lest any man should boast. He has leadership qualities which entail strength, perseverance, and a sincere desire for every sinner to be delivered. He takes to heart the scripture in 1 Peter 4:7, "God is not slack as some count slackness, but is longsuffering, not willing that any should perish but that all should come to repentance." He leads with boldness and ministers with compassion. His character exemplifies genuine humility while his personality is one of personal pride in the ministry of God. His dedication to the work of the Lord assists in making him the well-respected leader that he is. |
