Influencers

Psalm 119:30 (English Standard Version)

 I have chosen the way of faithfulness; I set your rules before me.

The job title of influencer on social media is fairly new. Some make a living that way. They have a following and feel important. That is an opportunity to be bundled with influencers.

Let us not concern ourselves unnecessarily with types of bundles as everyone fits in a bundle except those who are in Christ Jesus. We have been set free.

Matthew 13:24-30 The Parable of the Weeds

24 He put another parable before them, saying, “The kingdom of heaven may be compared to a man who sowed good seed in his field, 25 but while his men were sleeping, his enemy came and sowed weeds among the wheat and went away. 26 So when the plants came up and bore grain, then the weeds appeared also. 27 And the servants of the master of the house came and said to him, ‘Master, did you not sow good seed in your field? How then does it have weeds?’ 28 He said to them, ‘An enemy has done this.’ So the servants said to him, ‘Then do you want us to go and gather them?’ 29 But he said, ‘No, lest in gathering the weeds you root up the wheat along with them. 30 Let both grow together until the harvest, and at harvest time I will tell the reapers, “Gather the weeds first and bind them in bundles to be burned, but gather the wheat into my barn.”’”

The good seed sown is the Gospel of Christ. The field is His Church. The enemy is the devil.

Hebrews 6:4-6

For it is impossible, in the case of those who have once been enlightened, who have tasted the heavenly gift, and have shared in the Holy Spirit, and have tasted the goodness of the word of God and the powers of the age to come, and then have fallen away, to restore them again to repentance, since they are crucifying once again the Son of God to their own harm and holding him up to contempt.

Were you called or influenced?

Romans 11:29 For the gifts and the calling of God are irrevocable.

Alone

Deuteronomy 4:35 To you it was shown, that you might know that the Lord is God; there is no other besides him.

Psalm 10:4 In the pride of his face the wicked does not seek him; all his thoughts are, “There is no God.”

Psalm 53:1  The fool says in his heart, “There is no God.” They are corrupt, doing abominable iniquity; there is none who does good.

Yesterday I said “Go with God, or go it alone.” I am sure there are those who do not believe there are gods much less the Lord God Most High. If you do not abide in Christ you are alone spiritually, a spirit alone is a dead spirit, disconnected from its creator. If you do not believe there is a Sovereign God, then you are truly alone inside yourself. For those who cry out, “I am not alone!” You are right in one sense, you are bundled.

Matthew 13:30 Let both grow together until the harvest, and at harvest time I will tell the reapers, “Gather the weeds first and bind them in bundles to be burned, but gather the wheat into my barn.”

Look around you and ask yourself, “How did I get bundled with these people?”
