The mind is a powerful tool God gave man. It is actually what becomes the man eventually. It is a part of the soul. But the most powerful part. It affects the will and emotions.
The mind being what becomes the man, can also have an impact on other minds either positively or negatively, and this happens through what we do. So, what does the impact of a Son or Daughter of God look like?
Let's look at Romans 14:21, "Consider it an act of love to refrain from eating meat or drinking wine or doing anything else that would cause a fellow believer to be offended or tempted to be weakened in his faith." TPT. As a Son or Daughter of God, our actions should be a strength to others, not in any way that makes them weak in faith, which could make some fall out of the faith entirely. And this is the impact on others in faith who look up to you. So, we must be careful in our dealings.
There are instances where people who were growing in faith became negatively impacted by those they looked up to, just because certain actions were done directly or indirectly.
Ephesians 4:29 says, "And never let ugly or hateful words come from your mouth, but instead let your words become beautiful gifts that encourage others; do this by speaking words of grace to help them."TPT. Our words should be beautiful gifts that encourage others. Our actions should be a strength to others, especially those who are growing in the faith of our Lord Jesus Christ.
As 2 Corinthians 3:3 says, "You show and make obvious that you are a letter from Christ delivered by us, not written with ink but with [the] Spirit of [the] living God, not on tablets of stone but on tablets of human hearts." AMPC. The lives of Sons and Daughters of God should reflect the word of God, just as if they are the living word of God. And this way of living strengthens the faith of others. This is the impact God expects from His Sons and Daughters. And it should be done without eye service, for a life with eye service doesn't reflect Christ Jesus.
So, how's your impact on others today? Ask the Lord to guide you, and He will manifest through you.
God bless you
Why not accept Jesus today if you haven’t. Pray out loud, “Jesus, I confess that You are my Lord and Saviour. I believe in my heart that God raised You from the dead. By faith in Your Word, I receive salvation now. Thank You for saving me!” Congratulations, you’re born again, you are now brand new!
