AMBASSADORS OF GOD

 

As ambassadors of God we must showcase God to the world.

 

2 Corinthians 5 : 20

Now then we are ambassadors for Christ, as though God did beseech you by us: we pray you in Christ's stead, be ye reconciled to God. 

Characteristics of an ambassador

• An ambassador is appointed by God

• An ambassador represent the government that appointed him / her

• An ambassador speaks on behalf of his / her government

• An ambassador acts with the authority of his / her country

• An ambassador represent the strength of his / her country

Christ appointed us His children to represent Him the King of kings and Ruler of all the rulers on this earth.  As His ambassadors we proclaim the Gospel.  We act as His representatives on His Almighty authority.  He will give us His strength manifesting in our deeds.  We have the ability through the Holy Spirit to proclaim His dominion over all and to glorify His Name.

Johan 17:8

Because I have given them the words which you gave to me; and they have taken them to heart, and have certain knowledge that I came from you, and they have faith that you sent me. 

We are more than ambassadors. We are His children.

Romans 8 : 15

For the Spirit that God has given you does not make you slaves and cause you to be afraid; instead, the Spirit makes you God's children, and by the Spirit's power we cry out to God, "Father! my Father!" 

We as His ambassadors never negotiate with the devil.  As His kings and priest we have to take the land of our inheritance by His power.

Revelation 1 : 6 

And made us a kingdom of priests to serve his God and Father. To Jesus Christ be the glory and power forever and ever! Amen.

Let us be worthy ambassadors for the Lord!  Let us be the best ambassadors humanly possible.  Then we will hear the Lord saying: 

 

Well done, good and faithful servant: thou hast been faithful over a few things, I will set thee over many things; enter thou into the joy of thy Lord.
