It is important as we move into a wholeness perspective of life that we consider how we approach our business. Too many times we take the approach of a depraved society when it comes to running business. Sorry I had to put it so bluntly but a lot of the stuff out there is just not rooted in the Word of God.
Even Christ himself said that we are in the world but not of the world. So why do we approach our business like those that are in the world.
When it comes to having a successful business, knowing how to influence others is great asset to attain. However, as a faith-filled Believer it is important that we understand that influence is not manipulation or deceit. Influence for the Believer should be persuasion with love and service at the forefront of our objective. As Christ was the Great Influence so we should strive to be the same.
In order to get a clear understanding about influence, it may be necessary to know what the term truly means.
Influence is the capacity to have an effect on the character, development, or behavior of someone or something.
