Philippians 2:5-11.
Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus:
Who, being in the form of God, thought it not robbery to be equal with God:
But made Himself of no reputation, and took upon Him the form of a servant, and was made in the likeness of Man:
And being found in fashion as a Man, He humbled Himself, and became obedient unto death, even the death of the cross.
Wherefore God also hath highly exalted Him, and given Him a Name which is above every name:
That at The Name of Jesus every knee should bow, of things in Heaven, and things in Earth, and things under the Earth;
And that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God The Father.
Influence comes with meekness. If you can genuinely submit to the Authority of God and put away all your achievements, then God will give you authority and influence.
If God is to use you, He will have to purify you because only those pure in heart will see Him on the last day.
Jesus Christ Loves us, surrender yourself to Him today.
