MEMORY VERSE: “And Joanna the wife of Chuza Herod’s steward, and Susanna, and many others, which ministered unto him of their substance”. – Luke 8:3

BIBLE PASSAGE: Luke 23:49-53

49 And all his acquaintance, and the women that followed him from Galilee, stood afar off, beholding these things.

50 And, behold, there was a man named Joseph, a counsellor; and he was a good man, and a just:

51 (The same had not consented to the counsel and deed of them;) he was of Arimathaea, a city of the Jews: who also himself waited for the kingdom of God.

52 This man went unto Pilate, and begged the body of Jesus.

53 And he took it down, and wrapped it in linen, and laid it in a sepulchre that was hewn in stone, wherein never man before was laid.

LESSON OUTLINES
1. ATTRIBUTES OF KINGDOM INFLUENCERS
2. BECOMING A KINGDOM INFLUENCER

ATTRIBUTES OF KINGDOM INFLUENCERS

Kingdom influencers, being believers in Christ, contribute significantly to the economy and social well-being of their societies through their chosen careers, vacations, or divine calling (Acts 16:14-15, 40). They are full of good works and positively showcase the grace of God to the people around them (Acts 9:36-40; Luke 23:50-51). They are believers who have a good mastery of their respective industries and thus use a combination of faith and competence to influence happenings around them (Exodus 31:2-6). They are core professionals who strategically promote Jesus along with their trade e.g. football stars, athletes, scientists, etc, and give the credit for their achievements to God. Kingdom influences have specialised knowledge and authority in a specific subject and as such are irresistible forces in their domain (Judges 4:4-5; 2Samuel. 23:9-10).
As ambassadors of Christ, they deliberately dominate and make God to know anywhere they find themselves (2Corinthians 5:20).

BECOMING A KINGDOM INFLUENCER

God has called us to influence our world positively. Therefore, a kingdom influencer must have confessed his/her sins to God, accepted Jesus as his/her personal Savior and lord (Romans 10:9), and be ready to always share the good news about him (Romans 1:16). Being filled with the Holy Spirit – the Master strategist – cannot be over – emphasized (Ephesians 5:18).
To be Kingdom influences indeed, we have to develop a large heart: friendly and accommodating (Proverbs 18:24). We also needs to get ready to work hard, work Smart, work tenacoiusly and aim at becoming known authorities or experts within our feed of endeavours (1Kings 7:13-14). As Christians, we must establish a strong voice in our positions like the three Hebrew men (Daniel 3:16-19; 28-29). We must always be Game Changers in our spheres of influence (1Samuel 17:32). Kingdom influencers have to be good stewards with accountability in mind (Luke 19:16-17).

CONCLUSION
Everyone has influence. God expects us to be good stewards of that influence for His kingdom’s sake.
