Royal Woman of Influence

“But you are a chosen race, a royal priesthood, a dedicated nation, [God's] own purchased, special people, that you may set forth the wonderful deeds and display the virtues and perfections of Him Who called you out of darkness into His marvelous light.”1 Peter 2‬:9‬ AMPC

In my mid to late twenties, Princess Diana had a great impact on my life. I admired the woman she was. How she not only impacted the UK but the world with her truth and her heart of kindness. Her lady-like stature could be seen from a distance. She displayed the perfections and virtues of the Royal Family as she gave the people, but mostly the women, an ideal to strive towards. She wasn’t born into the Royal Family, but was chosen to be a part of it and her influence grew beyond what she was called to do.

Are you living as a royal woman of influence? Do you walk daily as the chosen daughter of the King?  Do you believe you have the power to influence a Holy Nation?

If not, it’s time to arise and walk and live a life of royalty. It’s time for women to rise up and allow Christ’s power to change your lives and the lives around them. It is very important to be joyful as He transforms us from glory to glory as we become more like Him.

Royalty can be defined as a people of royal blood or status. Because God has adopted us as His own, we are grafted into His body and Kingdom as royalty. We are chosen; His own special people, and we have the honor to glorify His name through the power of Influence.

I want to encourage you today that you can become the greatest influencer in your family, your friends, your church, and your community. Choose this day to let God lead you no matter how you feel, to demonstrate the power of influence with responsibility and excellence.  

Influence can never be navigated without the Holy Spirit’s grace and counsel. Thankfully, we have been given all the help we need.

In this time and age, women of influence need to step up and be the hands and feet of Jesus on the earth.

I know women have a long history of being attacked and oppressed. We’ve been told what to wear, what to say (if we are allowed to speak at all), what we can and cannot do, etc…. But here’s the thing; control is rooted in fear. When fear tries to dominate, we forget that we are His royal daughters, fashioned by God to walk with confidence in who’s we are!  In such circumstances, we feel we have no power to influence anybody.

I’m so thankful for the Written Word of God that teaches us to stand strong and obey God’s Word so that we can be special treasures for Him on the earth. Be a woman with power and Godly influence that can build up and encourage others. Be an Influencer!!

Allow me to show two examples from the Bible of women who carried the power of Influence and understood their position of royalty.

Deborah

In a time when women had no power or authority to rule, Deborah, under the anointing of God, summoned Barack to gather 10,000 men to go to war against Sisera according to Judges 4:6 AMPC,  “And she sent and called Barak son of Abinoam from Kedesh in Naphtali and said to him, Has not the Lord, the God of Israel, commanded [you], Go, gather your men at Mount Tabor, taking 10,000 men from the tribes of Naphtali and Zebulun?”  

She believed in God, stepped out with her influence, and convinced Barack to fight against the Canaanites who had held them under oppression for twenty years.

Obedience is one of the most important keys to being an influential woman. Because of Deborah’s obedience, God used her to influence Barack, and through her, God’s people were freed from the evil king Jabin.

She was an influencer.

Esther

Queen Esther was advocated by Mordecai to be courageous and go before the king to save the Jews. Mordecai could not influence the king, but Queen Esther could, even when it was against the law.

 “Mordecai sent this reply to Esther: “Don’t think for a moment that because you’re in the palace you will escape when all other Jews are killed. Then Esther sent this reply to Mordecai: “Go and gather together all the Jews of Susa and fast for me. Do not eat or drink for three days, night or day. My maids and I will do the same. And then, though it is against the law, I will go in to see the king. If I must die, I must die.” So Mordecai went away and did everything as Esther had ordered him.”Esther‬ 4‬:13‬, 15‬-17‬ NLT

Because Esther laid her life on the line for others, she influenced the heart of the king and saved the Jewish race. She was an influencer of heart!

Rise up woman of royal influence!  The Holy Spirit guide you on how to walk in authority to accomplish your God-given assignment on earth. Trust and obey God’s instructions for your destiny.  You shall be unto God a special treasure above all the people. (Exodus 19:5)
