To anyone called to ministry but most of all to anyone who thinks themselves to be a christian influencer:
No matter how big your ministry gets, never lose sight of God. Never stop having him be the center of everything you do. Never stop preaching his word and only his word.
We all must remember that our opinions don’t matter. We all must remember that our understanding of God’s word will never be perfect.
Always seek guidance from him in prayer before you say anything to anyone about him.
In 2026 with all of the technology we have… Everything we say lasts forever. Everything we post on the Internet lasts forever. Every false doctrine, every misunderstanding of scripture, every misuse of scripture. They all exist indefinitely on the Internet.
Be sure you learn the voice of our LORD through his word and ONLY his word before you EVER speak about him to his creations who are seeking him.
Be careful what you say because it will affect others well beyond your final day. Bring everything to God before you say it. Let him lead you, let him guide you, let him speak through you.
Allow yourself to be used for his glory and to point towards salvation in JESUS.
Don’t allow yourself to be used by the enemy and pull others away from god.
Just remember, God is not impressed by your follower count.
The true fact of it is if they are following you, they’re not following him.
We all should be following Jesus not any one human.
If you stepped into being an influencer, because you thought of all the money you could make, you’re in it for the wrong reason.
If you stepped into being a minister or a preacher or any sort of godly role for any reason other than to serve God then you’re in it for the wrong reason and you need to bring all of this back to him in prayer and make sure you are where he wants you to be.
If we do anything in his name for selfish reasons… It will not end well for us. We may end up billionaires on earth, but we will end up spiritually bankrupt and in hell for eternity.
Matthew 7:21: “Not everyone who says to me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter the kingdom of heaven, but the one who does the will of my Father who is in heaven.”
Matthew 18:6 : “but whoever causes one of these little ones who believe in me to sin, it would be better for him to have a great millstone fastened around his neck and to be drowned in the depth of the sea.”
