Every individual possesses influence that creates ripples affecting those around them, whether in family life, workplace interactions, or church community. Drawing from Malachi's message to the priests, we learn that poor spiritual leadership can devastate through insufficient devotion to God, teaching watered-down doctrine, showing partiality in following God's word, and living inconsistently with proclaimed faith. These negative influences can result in lost blessings, damaged relationships with God, and negative impacts on future generations. Effective spiritual leadership, however, emerges from three key elements: right worship through standing in awe of God, speaking truth effectively, and walking with integrity. By examining our spheres of influence and making intentional commitments to lead by example, we can create positive ripples that draw others toward God rather than away from Him. This might involve starting family devotions, sharing faith at work, or actively encouraging others in their spiritual journey.
