Bakit ko sinasabi ito, dahil ba sa nais kong mapuri ng tao? Hindi! Ang papuri lamang ng Diyos ang tangi kong hinahangad. Sinisikap ko bang magbigay-lugod sa tao? Hindi! Kung iyan ang talagang hangad ko, hindi na sana ako naging alipin ni Cristo.

Mga Taga-Galacia 1:10

Social media influencer ka ba? Talamak ang salitang influencer these days dahil sa dami ng content creators online. At para matawag ka na influencer, dapat may minimum number of followers ka. Requirement kasi ‘yan ng brands if they want to work with you as their brand ambassador. Napakaraming influencers who promote different beliefs and lifestyles na madalas iba sa paniniwala mo.

Bilang isang Cristianong content writer, hindi madaling sumulat ng content lalo na kung ang topic ay tungkol sa Diyos and upholding biblical values. Mas trending kasi ang controversial topics, and these are the posts that get shared a lot. It’s tempting to follow the crowd and write for views and traction, and eventually gain followers. But Apostle Paul gives a reminder kung sino ba talaga ang gusto natin i-please. Who is the object of our worship? Is it the Lord or ourselves?

Worship is a way of life and not a Sunday ritual. We worship the Lord through our thoughts, words, and actions. Yes, even the things we post on social media are a form of worship. Pansaraling kasikatan ba ang hangad natin para matawag na influencer? Or do we bless the name of the Lord with our written words. 

In the end, we have a God who favors us regardless of our reach or number of followers. He is pleased when we not only spread His Word but influence others to seek Him and come to Him. Maging influencer for the Lord, rather than for the world.
