Leadership is Being A People of Influence

As Christians, we need to understand God's call to each one of us to lead and influence people for God's glory. What I mean is this, God takes pleasure in the plans and purpose He created for all of His children. That plan is to be a people who make a difference. Who bring healing to those who hurt, and are wounded. To bring freedom and deliverance to those who are bound and imprisoned. To bring light and life, to that which is in darkness, and what is dead or dying. Christ is life and healing to those who receive and accept Him. Jesus said "freely receive, freely give". We need to follow His commands, and help those we can. People usually do not care about what you know, or how much you know, until they know how much you care. Caring for people is one of the first steps in being an influence in their lives. Sharing and bonding, takes these acquaintences into friendships, and friendships into families. We need to become the family that God wants us to be to each other.
