Isaiah 24:2 And it shall be, as with the people, so with the priest; as with the servant, so with his master; as with the maid, so with her mistress; as with the buyer, so with the seller; as with the lender so with the borrower; as with the taker of usury, so with the giver of usury to him.
The Bible specifically says that businesses and businessmen will also be held to the same standard of accountability, when the chips are tallied. This is not meant to shutter businesses; it is God’s will that all will pass the smell test when it comes. Those social media platforms in our day peddle in influencers, and this could be a good thing, if the influencers will use their power of persuasion for the good and upliftment of humanity.
Influencers can do much good, if they are guided by right principles and intentions. The apostle Paul was an influencer, but he used his influence to bring the people to Christ, because if this is not the case, the influencer in question will lead persons to perdition. Three passages of Scripture confirm what is being said.
Thus, according to the Scriptures influencers can be divided up into two categories, namely gatherers or scatterers, and therefore an influencer can make the world of difference for the better if they would lead their followers in right paths. But, as is too often the case, influencers often use their influence for purposes that lead the unwary, and the gullible to say and do things that do more harm than good.
Matthew 12: 30 He that is not with me is against me and he that gathers not with me scatters abroad.
May The Lord add His blessing to the study of His word. God bless!
