Influencer…

 

Influencer…

The other night I watched a movie about a person who was a fashion influencer …you know, one who idolizes the world, fashions, selfies, self importance, pleasures of the world, the must-haves and shares with it via social media…(I didn’t know that)…although tv ads, Facebook ads, etc. influence our everyday lives…from deodorant to cars to fashion to perfume to________.

But, back to movie…this influencer, through a series of life events, prayers of her parents, God’s grace found a much more satisfying, life changing way of influencing…showing God’s love to others, kindness, care, compassion…her life was changed…and those around her were blessed as well…

“A true influencer is how you positively affect others…”

The whole Bible is full of influencers…both for the good and the bad…we meet people everyday whom  we influence and who influence us…we read about influencers….the list goes on…those whose lives effect the neighborhood, the states, the nation, the world…those whose lives we venerate, tolerate or  despise…

God calls us to himself…to be a light for Him, to show mercy, kindness, compassion, self control, forgiveness, grace…to walk worthy…

Thank YOU….

  Therefore this is what the Lord says:“If you repent, I will restore you-that you may serve me;if you utter worthy, not worthless, words,you will be my spokesman.

Let this people turn to you,but you must not turn to them.

Jer.15.19

 For this reason, since the day we heard about you, we have not stopped praying for you. We continually ask God to fill you with the knowledge of his will through all the wisdom and understanding that the Spirit gives, so that you may live a life worthy of the Lord and please him in every way: bearing fruit in every good work, growing in the knowledge of God, being strengthened with all power according to his glorious might so that you may have great endurance and patience, and giving joyful thanks to the Father, who has qualified you to share in the inheritance of his holy people in the kingdom of light.

Col.1.9-12

 For you know that we dealt with each of you as a father deals with his own children, encouraging, comforting and urging you to live lives worthy of God, who calls you into his kingdom and glory. And we also thank God continually because, when you received the word of God, which you heard from us, you accepted it not as a human word, but as it actually is, the word of God, which is indeed at work in you who believe.

1Thess.2.11-13

 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, forbearance, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control. Against such things there is no law. 

Those who belong to Christ Jesus have crucified the flesh with its passions and desires. Since we live by the Spirit, let us keep in step with the Spirit. 

Let us not become conceited, provoking and envying each other.

Gal.5.22-26

I know a name…
