Lesson 26 – Kingdom Influencers Text: Luke 23:49-53 (KJV)
MEMORY VERSE: “And Joanna the wife of Chuza Herod’s steward, and Susanna, and many
others, which ministered unto him of their substance.” – Luke 8:”
Introduction: Kingdom influencers are believers who impact the world through their ministries
and in the marketplaces like the media, politics, hospitality, fashion, marketing, music, education,
and technology; by sharing their faith, substance, and expertise to enlarge God’s kingdom here on
earth. God needs His children to be Kingdom influencers who will take over the spheres of
influence here on earth for the excellent execution of His agenda. Are you willing to partner with
God on this mission?.
LESSON OUTLINES:
1. ATTRIBUTES OF KINGDOM INFLUENCERS
2. BECOMING A KINGDOM INFLUENCER
1. ATTRIBUTES OF KINGDOM INFLUENCERS
Kingdom Influencers, being believers in Christ, contribute significantly to the economy and
social well-being of their societies through their chosen careers, vocations, or divine calling (Acts
16:14-15, 40). They are full of good works and positively showcase the grace of God to the
people around them (Acts 9:36-40; Luke 23:50-51). They are believers who have a good mastery
of their respective industries and thus use a combination of faith and competence to influence
happenings around them (Exodus 31:2-6). They are core professionals who strategically promote
Jesus along with their trade e.g. football stars, athletes, scientists, etc, and give the credit for their
achievements to God. Kingdom Influencers have specialised knowledge and authority in a
specific subject and as such are irresistible forces in their domain (Judges 4:4-5; 2 Samuel 23:9-
10).

As ambassadors of Christ, they deliberately dominate and make God to be known anywhere they
find themselves (2 Corinthians 5:20).

2. BECOMING A KINGDOM INFLUENCER

God has called us to influence our world positively. Therefore, a kingdom influencer must have
confessed his/her sins to God, accepted Jesus as his/her personal Saviour and Lord (Romans
10:9), and be ready to always share the good news about Him (Romans 1:16). Being filled with
the Holy Spirit – the Master Strategist – cannot be over-emphasised (Ephesians 5:18).

To be Kingdom influencers indeed, we have to develop a large heart: friendly and

accommodating (Proverbs 18:24). We also need to get ready to work hard, work smart, work
tenaciously and aim at becoming known authorities or experts within our fields of endeavours (1
Kings 7:13-14). As Christians, we must establish a strong voice in our positions like the three
Hebrew men (Daniel 3:16-19, 28-29). We must always be Game Changers in our spheres of
influence (1 Samuel 17:32). Kingdom influencers have to be good stewards with accountability in
mind (Luke 19:16-17).

CONCLUSION
Everyone has influence. God expects us to be good stewards of that influence for His kingdom’s
sake.
