HOW DO YOU INFLUENCE?

-

Philippians 4:8

And now, dear brothers and sisters, one final thing. Fix your thoughts on what is true, and honorable, and right, and pure, and lovely, and admirable. Think about things that are excellent and worthy of praise.


Always have in mind that everyone at one time and another needs encouragement, a boost that will keep them moving on and not giving up, it is our part as believers to be that boost.


Romans 15:5
May God, who gives this patience and encouragement, help you live in complete harmony with each other, as is fitting for followers of Christ Jesus.


Christ built us that way, for I ask what is your essence in this world if you think only of yourself? That is a failure, for God works in us for His good pleasure, and the pleasure is seen in our good to others, remember Mathew 24:31-46.


Philippians 2:13
For God is working in you, giving you the desire and the power to do what pleases him.


Proverbs 15:23

A man has joy by the answer of his mouth, and a word spoken in due season, how good it is!


Everyone has a circle of influence, people who are affected by what you say, do or the decisions you make.

It could be large or small, a family, community, a company, a state, a,nation or just a fellowship, no matter the size it remains our sphere of influence and God expects us to affect the circle positively.

You are there to influence positively.


If
*  the souls of these ones are important to you, you will lead them to Jesus the Christ.

*  their mind is important you will feed them with the word of God and Godly counsel.

* their future is important to you, you will always tell them the truth and gear them to accomplish more.

* they would call you their mentor, then help them build their career

* they would call you father, give them good advice daily and link them to opportunities that will make them prosper.

* their needs and welfare is important, you will reach out to them no matter how little you can give.

* you love them, you will pray for them.


Philippians 2:4
Let each of you look out not only for his own interests, but also for the interests of others.


The right question to ask is:

WHEN MY TIME IS OVER, WHAT WILL I BE REMEMBERED FOR?


Philippians 4:8
Finally, brethren, whatever things are true, whatever things are noble, whatever things are just, whatever things are pure, whatever things are lovely, whatever things are of good report, if there is any virtue and if there is anything praiseworthy--meditate on these things.


This should be our prayer daily:

May my actions and words from today make me a blessing to my area of influence.


May you be remembered as a blessing to those around.


It is going to be a lovely week. All praise to our Living God.


He calls us blessed.


Love
@the watcher.

MAINTAIN A GODLY MARRIAGE

-
Judges 13:2-3,6,10 In those days a man named Manoah from the tribe of Dan lived in the town of Zorah. His wife was unable to become pregnant, and they had no children. The angel of the Lord appeared to Manoah’s wife and said, “Even though you have been unable to have children, you will soon become pregnant and give birth to a son. The woman ran and told her husband, “A man of God appeared to me! He looked like one of God’s angels, terrifying to see. I didn’t ask where he was from, and he didn’t tell me his name. So she quickly ran and told her husband, “The man who appeared to me the other day is here again!” We live in times when the institution of marriage is being destroyed from in and out of the church. Divorce rate is high and many are in a marriage but are not happy therein. What is the problem? God has been taken out of the equation. How? Jesus said: Matthew 19:8 Jesus replied, “Moses permitted divorce only as a concession to your hard hearts, but it was not what God had origina

Remember: God is in control.

As we go through the 11th month of this year of accomplishment, let us be reminded. When it seems to hurt so much, or it all looks quiet and alone, when it appears not to work out. Please don't give up, God is still in control Hebrews 11:6 But without faith it is impossible to please Him, for he who comes to God must believe that He is, and that He is a rewarder of those who diligently seek Him. My dear it is not about how you feel, and not about what it seems, it is about what He Has promised and He who promised is sure to keep His Word. Jeremiah 29:11 For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, says the LORD, thoughts of peace and not of evil, to give you a future and a hope. Jeremiah 29:12 " Then you will call upon Me and go and pray to Me, and I will listen to you." God is in control and His plans for you are good. He has already done it. Romans 4:21 " and being fully convinced that what He had promised He was also able to perform." Have a

NEEDLESS BATTLES

-
Judges 12:1-4 Then the people of Ephraim mobilized an army and crossed over the Jordan River to Zaphon. They sent this message to Jephthah: “Why didn’t you call for us to help you fight against the Ammonites? We are going to burn down your house with you in it!” Jephthah replied, “I summoned you at the beginning of the dispute, but you refused to come! You failed to help us in our struggle against Ammon. So when I realized you weren’t coming, I risked my life and went to battle without you, and the Lord gave me victory over the Ammonites. So why have you now come to fight me?” The people of Ephraim responded, “You men of Gilead are nothing more than fugitives from Ephraim and Manasseh.” So Jephthah gathered all the men of Gilead and attacked the men of Ephraim and defeated them. When the Lord does not lead you, you become prone to minding and walking with unnecessary things, like fighting unnecessary battles and stirring evil sentiments. I have always said that devices like racism, tri
