CHOSEN AMBASSADORS
As we come to the end of our journey with 5 attributes of our God given identity I couldn’t be more excited for today’s topic! We have spoke on being made in Gods image, being Sons & Daughters, Saints, and Royalty, while today we are going to be speaking on being ambassadors.
So we are Christ’s ambassadors; God is making his appeal through us. We speak for Christ when we plead, “Come back to God!””
2 Corinthians 5:20 NLT
There are truly so many things to say on this topic. When Christ was on earth he said to his Disciples its better for me to go so you can receive the helper. As baptized born again believers we have the ultimate gift living inside of us! A full equipping from the Kingdom of Heaven through the Holy Spirit within us. Ambassadors are someone who lives in a foreign land but has been given authority from there native land. As believers we have been raised with Christ and are seated in heavenly places ruling from heaven but living on earth!
It’s time to wake up to our marching orders as a church! When Christ said greater things you will do he meant it, but we need to be in a co-working relationship to fully grasp what we are meant to do. I think without the realization of being ambassadors of Christ and being seated in heavenly places life seems distant and in lack of revelation of what we are really here for. If we don’t realize that our King has given us the same power and authority as he, we become pawns on a chess board waiting for the “ruler” to make a move. Ambassadors have been equipped to make decisions without seeking approval from there leader because they stand in right relationship with who has put them in charge. (Now I’m not advocating doing things apart from God what I’m saying is that ambassadors are already in the right relationship with their leader, they lead through his heart!) This is one of the biggest differences between religion and relationship because religion says do but Jesus says done!
You have been equipped more then you know! You are called as an ambassador, you have been given power and authority over the darkness of this world. Christ is making his appeal through you! We can only move forward in this calling through relationship with Father, Son, and Spirit! Above all else seek the Kingdom of God and his righteousness and all the things will be added to you!
I hope through reading these past couple weeks messages on identity and seeing 5 different sides and attributes of identity that all readers have came to an understanding that our identity always points back to one thing and that is our relationship with our Father God. We can do nothing as believers outside of our relationship with our King. With that relationship comes an ease of living because we are living through him and he is living through us.
May God bless you all on this journey and I pray this week that you and the Father have an amazing week of courting each other!
