Scripture: “David, after he had served the purpose of God in his own generation, fell asleep.” — Acts 13:36 Legacy isn’t built by what you accumulate—it’s built by what you give away. David’s life wasn’t perfect, but Scripture sums it up in one powerful phrase: “He served God’s purpose in his generation.” That’s legacy. Living not for self, but for something that echoes beyond your lifetime. When you pour your influence into others—mentoring, encouraging, investing, leading—y

Scripture: “The Holy Spirit said, ‘Set apart for me Barnabas and Saul for the work to which I have called them.’” — Acts 13:2 Influence often grows through obedience. When the Holy Spirit called Paul and Barnabas, they didn’t have the full plan—they just had an instruction. But that single step of obedience sparked missionary journeys that changed history. Sometimes the door to greater influence doesn’t look impressive—it looks like obedience in the unseen. Showing up when no

Scripture: “He must become greater; I must become less.” — John 3:30 Influence becomes dangerous when it becomes self-centered. The early church didn’t turn the world upside down because they sought attention—they did it because they lifted up the name of Jesus. True influence doesn’t draw people to you—it draws them to Him. In Acts, whenever people were healed, saved, or amazed, the apostles redirected the praise: “Why do you look at us as if by our own power or godliness we

Scripture: “Now he who supplies seed to the sower and bread for food will also supply and increase your store of seed and will enlarge the harvest of your righteousness.” — 2 Corinthians 9:10 Stewardship begins with what’s already in your hand. Before David faced Goliath, he only had a sling. Before Moses parted the Red Sea, he only had a staff. And before the early church changed the world, all they had was faith and the Holy Spirit. We often underestimate what God can do wi

Scripture: “You will be my witnesses in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the ends of the earth.” — Acts 1:8 We often think of influence as something reserved for leaders, celebrities, or people with big platforms. But when Jesus gave the Great Commission, He didn’t speak to the powerful—He spoke to fishermen, tax collectors, and ordinary people who had simply walked with Him. Influence, in the kingdom of God, isn’t about popularity—it’s about proximity. The clo

Scripture: “You will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes on you; and you will be my witnesses.” — Acts 1:8 The story of Acts ends with Paul under house arrest — yet still proclaiming the kingdom of God “with all boldness and without hindrance.” The Gospel didn’t stop because Paul was limited. The message kept moving through others who had been transformed. That’s what becoming is all about — we are witnesses. Not perfect, not polished, but people who carry the story of w
