Influential Women



by Tami Walker

We are called to pray and to ask for prayer. Together we can become the change agents God has called us to be. This begins by being a listening ear for those who need prayer and humbly sharing our needs by asking for prayer, too.

I’ve heard it said that today, leadership is influence and influence is leadership. We as women have the opportunity to shape our sphere of influence. It starts with our families, our parents, siblings, and our kids. Then it extends to neighbors, friends, co-workers. 

If I asked each of you, “Who is your best friend, who is your neighbor, and who do you work with?” I imagine the answer to those three questions would be different for each one of us. That means we live in different spheres. This has a profound impact on for the Kingdom of God. 

He has set us in this time in history to bring the Kingdom of God here and now. How does this begin? It begins by praying. Praying for our influence to be felt and for those we know and lead; that they too might become influencers for God and His purposes.

Zechariah 4:6
“‘Not by might nor by power, but by my Spirit,’ says the Lord Almighty.”

We are called to be influencers, but we can’t do it alone. We need each other. More than anything, we must understand it’s not in our own strength but in His strength that we accomplish what He has sent us to do. Ready to pray for influential women? Do you need prayer as an influential woman? Let us hear from you in the comment section below.
