HAVE YOU EVER MET A REAL AMBASSADOR?

I will never forget the day I met the ambassador to the United States from the Fiji Islands. He exuded confidence, warmth, and a sense of purpose, giving us a glimpse into the soul of his nation and an invitation to have a relationship with him, His king, and his people.

Have you ever met a real ambassador of Christ from the Kingdom of God? Although all Christians are called to be ambassadors for Christ, most of us fail to fulfill our calling fully. The best examples are the apostles. Filled with the Holy Spirit at Pentecost, they became bold preachers that would not be stopped, regardless of persecution.

Each of us is called to be an Ambassador for Christ - filled with the Holy Spirit, equipped to do His work, and sent forth to reach the lost. We then do not just work for God, but God works through us.

Those who see evangelism as a job or career ask what they have to do and what is in it for them. Those who are called by the Lord have only one request: “Send me, oh Lord. Send me!”

The big question facing you and me is: are we willing to accept the call and seek the lost in the mission field? (And we are ALREADY IN the mission field). We need to decide quickly, for time is short and we are not guaranteed tomorrow.

To God be the glory,
