Are you an influencer? 🤔

Jerry Morla

In modern times, being an influencer is commonly understood as someone with a powerful vocal reach who can potentially influence the views and perceptions of a massive number of followers through social media networks 🤯


While some use this influencing power for commercial purposes, others use it for inspiring others, teaching, helping, advocating, making personal announcements, sharing information and news of general interest, supporting movements, and promoting ideologies or political agendas, among other things. Surely, such power comes with responsibility, but the question today is not about the power of influencing, but whether or not you are an influencer?


I looked in the Bible for wisdom on the subject and found this passage in Revelation 3:15-16: 🔎


“I know your works, that you are neither cold nor hot. I could wish you were cold or hot. So then, because you are lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I will vomit you out of My mouth.” 😦


In the larger context of this passage, God was speaking to a group of people who had become self-reliant on their accomplishments and less reliant on God, hence either losing their zeal for the things of God or not completely turning away from Him. Furthermore, the people at the time had become complacent, indifferent, and were failing to take a stance on the things they ought to, especially during critical times. 🤯


According to this passage, God seems more concerned on whether we are hot or cold, both which are influencing to others, than whether we are right or wrong. It clearly says that those that remained lukewarm are like vomit to Him, not a pretty picture if you ask me!


Like any other power that a person is given, the power to lead and influence others comes with great responsibility. Words, images, and whatever information or knowledge is communicated have the power to influence others in positive or negative ways, with significant risk for outcomes to be very different than intended. Nevertheless, according to this Bible passage, believers are clearly called to take a stand, and either be hot or cold 🔥🧊


In other words, if you are a believer you are called to lead! ❤️‍🔥


Step it up, don’t stay quiet, especially if you live in the United States of America, where our constitution guarantees our God-given right to practice our faith and freedom of speech ⚔️🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸


Leaders create more leaders! Start influencing! 🏹



Let’s go 🚀
