The Influence Decision: The Power of Encouragement
Barnabas, a leader in the early church, was a man known for his encouragement and his ability to see potential in others. He didn’t focus on people’s past mistakes but looked at what they could become. When Paul, who was once known for persecuting Christians, tried to join the disciples, they were afraid of him. But Barnabas saw beyond Paul’s past and believed in his future.
Barnabas also used his influence to help others. He was a bridge-builder, connecting people to opportunities and relationships that helped them grow. He didn’t just focus on himself; he made space for others to succeed. Barnabas was willing to invest in others, even when it meant stepping back. He didn’t mind sharing the spotlight and made sure others grew in their faith and leadership.
Barnabas’ impact multiplied because he poured into others. His encouragement didn’t just help one person; it helped many more, including Paul, who went on to spread the gospel far and wide. Your choices to encourage and invest in others can multiply your impact for God’s kingdom.
Reflection: Who in your life needs encouragement and influence? How can you add value to their life?
