For this reason I remind you to fan into flame the gift of God, which is in you through the laying on of my hands, for God gave us a spirit not of fear but of power and love and self-control. (2 Timothy 1:6-7)
In daily affairs, there are moments when ambassadors play a critical role. Events occur when key decisions have to be made, conveyed, or executed. It often falls to the ambassadors to be fearless in acting on the instructions of his or her call.
There will come a time when ambassadors have to share the message with other countries. There have been times in history when it has been a matter of life and death. It is no different for us as ambassadors of Jesus Christ; we are involved in life and death matters. The salvation of mankind is a life and death matter.
It is a mandate as ambassadors of the Kingdom of God to lead people to Jesus Christ. We know that it is only the Holy Spirit who can lead someone to Christ. We know this. However, we cannot get away from the fact that God uses people like us to share the Good News with others. Have you ever led someone to Christ? If you are an ambassador of Jesus Christ we have to be His representatives.
It was several months after I shared the Gospel with my Dad in a three-hour phone conversation, that my Dad (due to complications with COPD) that my Dad went home to be with the Lord. I know my Dad is in Heaven because good people don’t go to Heaven, believers do. Sharing the Gospel with Family and Friends tends to be one of the most difficult things to do, but remember we serve a Mighty God!
Friends, God will give us the strength, words to say, and the ability to be His ambassadors. We are busy with life and death matters; nobody deserves to hear the Gospel twice until everyone in the world has heard it once. May you be an ambassador who fearlessly seizes the moment? Would you pray with me?
Dear Heavenly Father, I praise You and thank You that You choose to use me to carry Your Gospel Message to people. Help me to be a worthy ambassador; help me to seize every opportunity to share the Good News of Jesus Christ with others. For it is in Your Precious Name I ask. Amen.
God Bless and have a Blessed Day, Friends <><
