Has God given you influence? Are you using it for His good or your own?

We all have some degree of influence. Influence is a position given to us by God either through relationship or authority or both. The more influence we have been given, the more opportunity we have to effect change, both in the lives of those we influence and our communities.

Most of the time we use our influence for our own agenda. We seldom seek to use that same influence for God's kingdom. Publius was a man of influence. God brought difficulty into his life in order to bring him to faith. Paul's faithfulness enabled him to be the one to share with this influential man.

How are we using the influence God has given us? Us it for God's glory today. Us it for the good of others.
