Sphere of Influence

Hello everyone,

How are you doing on this day? I hope well and bubbling in the Lord. We thank God for who He has called us to be, and where He has placed us. We thank Him for making us a light in this generation.

Primary Text: 2 Chronicles 14v2-4
“And Asa did that which was good and right in the eyes of the LORD his God: For he took away the altars of the strange gods, and the high places, and brake down the images, and cut down the groves: And commanded Judah to seek the LORD God of their fathers, and to do the law and the commandment.” 2 Chronicles 14v2-4

We see in the life of king Asa, that not only did he do what was good and right in the eyes of the LORD his God, taking away the things that shouldn’t be in the land, but he also commanded Judah, the nation under him to seek the LORD God of their fathers, and to do the law and the commandment. How are you influencing those around you? There are those who influence others negatively, giving wrong advice and counsel, pressurizing to do evil, while there are others who encourage in the way of the Lord. How are you in your position as a parent, a friend, a sister or brother, encouraging those around you?

Prayer
Father, I thank You for Your Word. I pray that You will give me the tongue of the learned, that I should know how to speak a word in season to him that is weary; please awaken me morning by morning, awaken mine ears to hear as the learned, and may I not be rebellious, neither turn away back in Jesus name, amen.
