“Christians are the most influential people on planet Earth. Imagine what God would do through us if we’d simply obey.”
Highly influential Christians are people who are (or people of)…
- Holy (separate from sin, pray, read the Bible, fellowship with other Christians)
- Intentional (deliberate about what we do and why we do it)
- Focused (committed, self-disciplined, prioritize, and “niche” oriented in ministry)
- Generous (with time, money, and love)
- Passionate (positive about the things of God and the people of God)
- Servants (submissive to the needs of those around us)
- Courageous (overcome fear)
- Character (people of sound morals, ethics, and biblical principles)
- Communicative (we listen, we share our ideas, we speak–it’s called ministry)
- Relational (we have diverse and multi-faceted relationships; no lone-rangers, we are others-oriented)
- Teachable (we appreciate the wisdom of others and allow ourselves to be taught, shaped and molded by what is right)
- Leaders (we are visionaries, with our eyes fixed on heaven, leading others to find that sweet manna bread)
- Humble (we maintain a correct and honest assessment of ourselves)
- Criticized (because we long for a home made without hands, we tend to be at odds with worldly people)
- Imitated (others are able to see how we live and replicate what is good; we are mentors to those who need help)
- Transparent (we are not hypocrites; we don’t hide behind masks; what you see is what you get)
- Competitive (we want our God and Savior to be victorious in our lives; finishing last is non-optional behavior for us)
- Expansive (we live outside of the comfort zone, because that’s where the amazing things happen, such as change)
- Discerning (we don’t bend with every wind of doctrine, but compare everything to Scripture)
- Motivational (we can be a spark to light other people’s fire as we bear one another’s burdens)
- Learners (we never come to a place where we’ve arrived; there is always more to glean)
