Day 12 | Influence

28 DaysDevotional
Written By Chad Balthrop

READ

II Timothy 2:2 (NIV)

“And the things you have heard me say in the presence of many witnesses entrust to reliable men who will also be qualified to teach others.”

REFLECT

What are you saying to the people around you? Do the things you say encourage people to know God more, or do they distract from God’s amazing grace? Right now, you can influence someone in a way that leads them to Christ or causes them to run away. In the Bible, you have the Words of Life. In our church, you have a place to learn and practice so you will be well equipped to influence someone for Christ. You have influence. How will you use it today?

RESPOND

Tell God you will live theMission - that you will make it your determined purpose to know God and help people follow Jesus. Ask Him to help you use your words and influence wisely. Pray that all the people of our church would live theMission and generously give in order to influence this generation for Christ.

WRITE

We’re not talking powerful prose or professional poetry. Simply write a word, sentence, phrase, or paragraph that helps you remember what God said to you. We would love to hear how God uses these devotionals in your life. Email your thoughts to next@themission.net and post on our socials. We would love to hear from you.

May God bless you today!

Our mission is to know God and help people follow Jesus here, there, and everywhere.
