If you speak words that are worthy, you will be my spokesman. You are to influence them… from Jeremiah 15:19-20 NLT
Are you under the influence? What influence is it?
Who is influencing you? Are the words they speak and the deeds they do bringing the best out of you? Think about what words or actions have influenced you for the good of your life… What words or actions have you given to influence oth
ers for their good?
In the famous Sermon on the Mount, Jesus said that “you are the light of the world and the salt of the earth.” He was influencing us to become light-filled, tasty, life preserving influencers!
Light entering a room influences the darkness so much it dispels it. Salt added to a steak preserves the goodness of that steak and brings out the best flavor. This commission to influence darkness and bring the best out in people is a high call!
How can we stay under God’s influence and influence others for their best life?
Be aware of God’s presence…
Be aware of the presence of the one who needs your influence…
Be aware of God’s presence…
Yes, we said be aware of God’s presence twice. It’s amazing how beginning and ending with that awareness will influence you and subsequently influence others.
Setting an example is not the main means of influencing another, it is the only means. –Albert Einstein
Let him that would move the world, first move himself. –Socrates
