How to Use Your God-given Influence to Be a Kingdom Builder (Part 1), Rick Warren. Pastors.com


Growing Influence

Everyone has influence. We all influence someone. And God expects us to be good stewards of that influence for His kingdom’s sake. He didn’t give us our influence for selfish purposes on our part, but so that we might share the good news about him – so that we could be Kingdom builders.
What exactly is a “kingdom builder?” It’s someone who has…
·         A great purpose to live for. And for the Christian, we have the greatest purpose of all – to rescue people for eternity through Jesus. Kingdom builders demonstrate a great commitment to the Great Commission and the Great Commandment.

·         Great principles to live by. A Kingdom builder is one who has a different source from which to draw wisdom – God’s eternal truth revealed in the Bible.

·         Great power to live on. A Kingdom builder operates in a different power that the rest of the world – the power of the indwelling Holy Spirit who offers guidance every step of the way.

·         Great people to live with. A Kingdom builder gathers with God’s people and joins up with a small group for encouragement and accountability.
