Celebrity & Influencer Christianity Must End

Celebrity & Influencer Christianity Must End

Superstars, celebrity figures and influencers in the name of Christ must end.

Why?

While their impact and reach are huge and wide (but often not deep, because they don't have the time to go deep), the damage and pain they cause are equally disastrous.

Since most of us are excellence-in-progress, it means that we haven't arrived 100% in Christ's fullness.

If your audience is small, your weakness seems small. BUT if your audience is large, your weakness will be amplified.

It takes tremendous responsibility to walk meticulously right in the Kingdom, should you want to be a superstar, celebrity or an influencer for Him. 

For it is impossible to live a double life and not be exposed eventually.

The devil will exalt you high despite your weaknesses so that you could be conceited. God didn't exalt you. The devil did.

He is the prince of the power of the air. He exalted the celebrities in the Hollywood and entertainment world as well as secular influencers in the same way he exalts you in the Christian circle.

Because when the one on the pedestal is struck, the rest will scatter. The impact is way more powerful when this happens.

In the last couple of years, we have seen way too many cases. The need to maintain that social proof and influencer-reputation is the very thing that destroys you from dealing with your weaknesses and growing in Christ-authenticity, regardless of what you say and preach or try to say and preach that appears authentic and genuine. You live with God; He lives with you and He knows.

We need to get out of that need by getting out of the result of that need.

I began this when I was 27. That was 17 years ago. It isn't super long. But neither is it short. Once you pass 40, you realise you have seen enough bull*hi* Christianity, whether celebrities, influencers or whatever, and you are no longer drawn to them. Sometimes, it's distasteful instead.

What you want is just an authentic Christian life that pursues excellence and embraces imperfection. And to find like-minded (even a few) people to live this Kingdom life.
