When we hear people proclaiming God on the streets, we are quick to avoid them. But if we see what God has called us for it changes our attitude a little. I looked up the meaning of ambassador and one of the references used was ‘an accredited diplomat sent by a state as its permanent representative in a foreign country.’ This just blew my mind, to think that we have been accredited diplomatic status by God for His heavenly Kingdom.
Even though God created us and everything around us, this world has become a foreign country to God, a place where people to this day reject Him, mock Him, use Him, play games with Him, and live for ourselves. We as ambassadors of the king are sent into this foreign country that is not our home, to win souls for God’s kingdom.
I want to declare to the whole world that I am an Ambassador and I officially represent God, I didn’t give myself this status God did, and if He calls I will listen, He is the boss, the President the ultimate official.
- Let’s have a look at the qualifications for this position:
- You say I am not Qualified, God says He is Qualified
- You say but I can’t speak to people, God says Ge will speak for you
- You say but I don’t know the word of God, God says I sent you the Holy Spirit He will teach you
- You say but I cant read and write, God says I will send someone to read the word to you
- You say – and Jesus stops you and says, all you needed was the blood and I did that for You. Through me, you can reach my Father. You are co-heirs to my Fathers kingdom
You don’t need to be qualified to represent Jesus to the world.
- Doesn’t this just blow your mind girls, we are chosen not because we are good enough – but because He is good enough.
We are therefore Christ’s ambassadors, as though God were making his appeal through us. We implore you on Christ’s behalf: Be reconciled to God.
2 Corinthians 5:20 –
A time is coming when all Ambassadors will need to step up for duty.
Lord thank You that I can proclaim the good news to the world. Amen
