Be a Faithful Ambassador!

“Therefore, we are ambassadors for Christ, God making his appeal through us. We implore you on behalf of Christ, be reconciled to God.” 2 Corinthians 5:20

An ambassador is a representative of a county’s ruler in another country with authority and power. As believers, we are God’s ambassadors on earth sent to take control and exercise our authority on this planet. We can only show this through daily living our lives by bringing God glory. Therefore, a good representative of higher authority will try all their best to uphold the country’s interest they stand for.

Jesus Christ, while on earth, represented the Father well on earth. All through his days on earth, He walked according to the will of the Father. He never once left go against the will of the One that sent Him. What are others seeing in you? What are their perceptions about you? Are you a good ambassador of God on earth? As God’s ambassador, our primary assignment is to work according to His commands and say no to every form of ungodliness in this present world.

Proverbs 4:18 says, “But the path of the just is as the shining light, that shineth more and more unto the perfect day.”

A true ambassador is never carried away the system and way of life of the place they find themselves. As believers, our way of life should not be in line with the system and doctrines of darkness. The world and its lust will pass away like a mist that is here today and goes tomorrow. I am sure you don’t want to be part of this situation because we must represent Christ in all things. We must stand up for what we believe, not what other people lure us into doing.

We are expected to live a pure and holy life in this polluted world and its systems. Scriptures have it written that it will be difficult to be a Christian in the last days, but this should not bother us because our time here is just for a while. And we have the needed resources to help us daily. The place of prayer can never be overemphasized and daily studying of His words. Christ, while on earth, prayed and read the scriptures – He is a good example and should be our number one role model. In all you do, never forget you come from a higher authority in heaven – be a good and faithful ambassador.

Prayer:
1. Lord, give me the grace to be a faithful ambassador to the end.
2. Oh Lord, help me be a good representative of God’s Word anywhere I go in Jesus’ name. Amen.
