Yesterday's service was wonderful. A time to be reminded of our responsibilities are Christians and representatives or Christ on earth.
Prayer - As your word comes to me, i receive understanding i will not just be a hearer of the word but a doer of the word in the name of Jesus.
Paul was concerned for the gospel and those who had no yet believed on Jesus as Lord and Saviour so much so that he asked 4 Questions in Romans 10
How can they call on him in whom they have not believed?
How can the believe on the one of whom they have not heard?
How can they hear without a preacher?
How can they preach except they are sent?
The real reason for been a Christian is to preach the word to others. You have been sent as a preacher or minister. If the only reason to be alive had been to be saved then we would have been taken to be with Christ straight after been saved. We have been left here to be the light of the world, to tell others about the saving grace of Christ.
Christ came to give us life and make sure we have it abundantly. Christ came to seek and save those that are lost (Luke 19:10). And as he was sent so he has sent us to do the same.
Jobs,business etc are all a means to an end. They are a vehicle to take us to where God wants us to be. Accountants, doctors and any other professional or business person are not needed in heaven so see yourself as sent of God to that place where you find yourself. An ambassador of a divine kingdom and representative of the God who created all things for humanity to enjoy. In a manner of speaking, get people to join your chariot.
We have been given the ministry of reconciliation. To save lives and to show them what God has made available. 2 Cor 5:17-20.
The natural man is not going to heaven because the citizens of heaven are no natural men. The new creation man is born of God and has been made a citizen of heaven.
You have be chosen out of the world so you are no longer of this place although you reside here bodily.
Jesus talks about what that means i John15 18- 19
18If the world hate you, ye know that it hated me before it hated you.
19If ye were of the world, the world would love his own: but because ye are not of the world, but I have chosen you out of the world, therefore the world hateth you.
The disciples of old got great results because the Holy Spirit was working in them Acts 4:8-11. They were fearless and bold to preach the gospel. Always remember that the devil does not want the message to spread further hence we must not be unaware of the devices of the devil.
It's time to make the gospel known in this month of soul winning and special giving as we launch out to the UK with our rhapsody or realities.
Stay blessed today
