Commit to Memory: “And there are also many other things which Jesus did. If they should be all recorded one by one [in detail], I suppose that even the world itself could not contain (have room for) the books that would be written.” (John 21:25 AMPC)
Jesus said follow me and I will make you… Hmmm. He was always making something from nothing and affecting lives anywhere he went. He never left anyone the way he met them. Can this be said of you today? How many people have you made? How many lives have you touched? Our commit to memory says the impact of Jesus was a remarkable presence in his days and even now such that it outlived him. Glory to God.
What are the traits of an Influencer? An influencer is one who always sees the good in people, he or she always see people as God sees them and tries his or her best to add value to the life of any and everyone he or she comes in contact with. For example: Jews had nothing to do with Samaritans, but when Jesus was done with the Samaritan woman at the well, she left and began to witness everywhere and to everyone she came across. In her words in John 4:29 she said:
“Come see a man who told me everything I had been through”.
Can people conclude in one meeting with you that there is no need for long stories to preach but that your God will be their God? Friends, if all you do is to knock the heads of people together, use them to achieve your selfish means, you sure need to wake up from been a reducer to an influencer. Stop giving up on people. Who would have believed that the mad man of Gadara would become a great Evangelist proclaiming salvation to many? After he met Jesus- everything about his life was on a forward and upward movement. I pray that every sleeping giant in you the Lord will awake, that you may be an influencer any and every where you go.
Reflection: Can people rejoice that when they met you- they met Jesus?
