Text: Matthew 5:13,16.
“13 Ye are the salt of the earth: but if the salt have lost his savour, wherewith shall it be salted? it is thenceforth good for nothing, but to be cast out, and to be trodden under foot of men. 16 Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven.” KJV
We are children of God because God is living in us in order to influence the world through our lives.
Who are Influencers? Influencers are world-changers. They are people who make the world a better place. They add value to people’ lives.

From Gen. 1:28, God created us to be Influencers in the world. He blessed and commanded us to be fruitful and have dominion on the Earth. The Lord calls His children the Light of the world and the Salt of the Earth. This means we are solution providers everywhere – in the School, Government, Marketplace and Neighborhood.
When Jesus was on the Earth, Acts 10:38 tells us everywhere He went He was doing good. The world should also be able to say this about us too that we are doing good everywhere. The Church is a place where God raises Influencers who will bring glory to His name.
How do I Become an Influencer?
God is the greatest Influencer, He not only created everything but also upholds everything. We should be like our Heavenly Father, who is always willing to help anyone in need.
In closing, We were redeemed to be influencers in the world, I pray we will not fail God. We cannot influence the world without God helping us. We need His grace everyday to be an Influencer in the world.
God bless you!
