NOT – you just have it or you don’t.   “Leadership is influence. Nothing more. Nothing less.” – John Maxwell   Leadership = INFLUENCE The power to affect a person, thing, or course of events. Be honest…Are you a leader? Do you have influence? Sociologist study – The shyest introvert will influence 10,000 people over the course of his or her lifetime. Introvert- Attempt to have zero interaction with people, still influence thousands. It is impossible to not be an influence!God has called each of us the change the world! Our lives shape the people around us.Intended or not… we affect others through our actions and words. You are a Leader Stop resisting it…Don’t discount it…Do not say, “Yeah… but”   The question is not, “Am I a leader.” The question is, “What kind of leader am I?” The question is not, “Do I have influence?” The question is, “What level influence do I have? What will be the reach of my influence?”   Jesus teaches us about influence and sees our potential. Matthew 13:13 “You are the salt of the earth. But if the salt loses its saltiness, how can it be made salty again? It is no longer good for anything, except to be thrown out and trampled underfoot. Is Salt an exciting world changing element of great Value? Na (periodic table humor) I am sorry my jokes are SODIUM. Salt is plain, but put it in food – changes it!You are the SALT of the EARTH – ingredient for change. Your presence brings change. DON’T LOSE YOUR SALTINESS. Make a difference wherever you are. 14 “You are the light of the world. A town built on a hill cannot be hidden. 15 Neither do people light a lamp and put it under a bowl. Instead they put it on its stand, and it gives light to everyone in the house. You are a light that can’t be hidden.   Your influence, gifting, calling, potential… when people see it, no one will want to hide it under a bowl… Instead – lampstand. What is it that you can do, that others don’t know? Knowledge? Skill? Personality? Strength? Who is the salt? Jesus says it is you.Who is the light? Jesus says it is you. Go influence! Go Lead! But I don’t have the position… I am only “Assistant to the Regional Manager” Influence is PERMISSION not POSITION Because influence is leadership… no matter your position, you can lead. Positions are over-rated… We all know people with position who were terrible leaders. When people give you permission to lead them – powerful!   Gain influence and positively use it. Sometimes we use influence in negative ways. Gossip/disunity, complaining, not doing our best… disobedience In Acts 1 Jesus gives instruction and promises authority and power.   Instruction: #1 Wait in Jerusalem for the Spirit #2 Then GO tell others about me They waited in Jerusalem and the Spirit came. CHECK People ridiculed them and said they were drunk. NEGATIVE moment. Peter still obeyed. Stood up and told the people about Jesus. CHECK   What happens next? The (negative) people ask what they need to do? Peter tells them to REPENT, BE BAPTIZED, and RECEIVE THE SPIRIT. The crowd obeyed the instruction. CHECK 3000 added! From 120 to 3000.   Obedience and Influence More obedience leads to more influence.   On the job – Follow the instructions.  ON TIME, Uniform, Positive Receive more influence.   With God – Follow the instructions  Do you know the instruction?  Repent? Baptism? Spirit? Questions about this? Text: 469-467-8111 Receive more influence. More obedience leads to more influence.   Stuck or Go?
