How To Be An Influencer

“Now the Arameans on one of their raids had taken a young girl captive from the land of Israel, and she served Naaman's wife.” - 2 Kings 5:2

In a society that valued power and position, she was a slave. In a place that valued tenure and experience, she was a youth. In a world that valued men and manhood, she was a girl.

Nevertheless, her words drove everything that happened in this story. Her words moved her slave mistress, Naaman a top general, two kings, and a prophet. Everything that took place did so because of the words she spoke.

How did she have an impact and influence beyond her position?

First, she did not allow her circumstances to make her hateful of bitter. She did not wish death and destruction on her kidnappers who had likely also injured and harmed people she cared about. She wanted to see her enemies healed and made whole

Second, she did not adopt the values of the dominant culture around her. She knew there was no healing or restorative power in their practices, but she knew there was in hers.

Finally, this girl had obviously been a young woman of character, integrity, and credibility. Her words carried weight because of who she was. It didn’t matter what she was.
