THE INFLUENCER

It is clear from the scriptures that in the last days, great intellectuals, amongst others, shall arise to give light in a dark world (Micah 4:1-2). This truth can not be erased. God has embedded so much glory in its manifold dimensions on the inside of the man he created but sadly, only a few has successfully given to the demands of digging out the nitty fragments of this embedded glory.

_For the earth shall be filled with the knowledge of the glory of the LORD, as the waters cover the sea._ Habakkuk 2:14

It takes an entity to showcase this inherent attribute of God. So he infused a measure of this attribute into the man he made_ in his character.

Although every creature displays a dimension of God's glory on the Earth, but a larger portion is reserved for man to display by every means.

Dare to identify where you fit in, and let the glory be seen.

I'd define influence as the ability to constructively restructure the ideology of a sect.

*Interestingly, the one who influences by the spirit, is an effective influencer.*

An influencer is basically a person who has mastered the art of helping people to see things from his point of view,impossibilities and misconceptions especially,on a predefined niche.

It doesn't require much to become one.

Self awareness is the kick-off point.

But commanding influence is more spiritual than it seems. Knowing your audience, in terms of their background on topical issues, is great. But having power over the atmosphere they're in, is greater. If the atmosphere is denser, the waves of conviction finds better expression and this is the work of the spirit of God. The Holy Spirit helps the mind to assimilate better and faster.

Hence, under his atmosphere it becomes easier to get people influenced.

Most often than not, one key instrument for commanding influence is through the use of "WORDS."

Words are proven weapons of influencing the mind. Words are powerful!

I mean, they're full of power. Let's take these quick review from the scriptures;

Jesus himself, as an iconic influencer,  said in John 6:63 _...the words that I speak unto you, they are spirit, and they are life._

These words have life in them by the Spirit of God. Hence, they become creative when utterance is given to them. 

Here is what happens when you speak to an audience as an influencer.

Ezekiel 2:2

_And the spirit entered into me when he spake unto me, and set me upon my feet, that I heard him that spake unto me._

When you speak as an influencer, backing up your words is the spirit of God. The spirit that brings to be. The spirit that makes alive.

Yes you spoke words, but it is spirit that entered into this audience. *And set me* that is, it restructured their minds to be conformed into the truth being dished out. 

Oh, there's a generation of glory carriers, God calls them Kings and Queens, a Royal priesthood, a chosen generation (1Peter 2:9)

What were they chosen for..?

To show forth His glory and excellence. They're unique in every sense. Their mode of operation began at the upper room, when flames sat on them in the form of cloven tongues (Acts 2:3).

Yes, like TONGUES, so that they can decree and see it happen. So that they can by their words create their worlds.

Kings decree! That's all. And where the word of a king is, there is power. The spirit of the word supplies the Power.

The power conquers the powers of the will, causing it to succumb to the perspective of the speaker (influencer).

This is how men are influenced.

By the Spirit of God.

*Interestingly, the one who influences by the spirit, is an effective influencer.*
