BEING CHRIST’S AMBASSADOR IN LOVE: TO ENSURE THAT THE EARTH IS FILLED – WITH THE KNOWLEDGE AND GLORY OF THE LORD! 

“But as truly as I Live, all the earth shall be FILLED with the GLORY of the Lord” Numbers 14:21. 

“For the EARTH shall be FILLED with the KNOWLEDGE of the GLORY of the Lord, as the waters COVER the sea” Habakkuk 2:14. 

One of the key missions of any visionary ambassador is to fulfil the assigned context of the sending nation to the stationed nation where he/she is serving as a representative [Messenger]. 

 Otherwise, such an ambassador’s misnomer and behaviour may lead to being declared with A PERSONA NON GRATA, meaning a person whose no longer welcome or deemed qualified to represent their sending nation in the host nation. 

And the scripture called such messenger [representative, ambassador] with A PERSONA NON GRATA, a wicked one [bad representative], in not serving worthily to FULFILL the assigned concept and perception of the sending nation as commission [assigned]. And as always, when declared a PERSONA NON GRATA, there’s bound to be a trouble [mischief] for such bad representative [ambassador], while the good and faithful ambassador that BEAR WITNESS of trust will enjoy a healthy and rewarding relationship with the sending nation [country]. And I now ask – which are you today?  

“A WICKED MESSENGER [REPRESENTATIVE] falleth into MISCHIEF [TROUBLE]: but a FAITHFUL AMBASSADOR is HEALTH” Proverbs 13:17. 

And for us as to being CHRIST’S AMBASSADOR in love, our visionary mission upon which we are empowered of God to serve in Christ Jesus, is purely to BEAR WITNESS, thereby ensuring that the GOSPEL reaches unto the ends of the earth unhindered, and for the good and goodness of all mankind and not for a few; and we are to BEAR WITNESS from our home first, which is our Jerusalem] of being a representative, and then to the ends of the earth [Judah, Samaria, etc.] beyond walls and borders. It’s of no worth going about to BEAR WITNESS as CHRIST’S AMBASSADOR to the world while you can’t live out fully to be one at home with the KNOWLEDGE and GLORY of God in virtues in Christ Jesus stead. Amen. 

“Now then we are AMBASSADORS FOR CHRIST, as though God did beseech you by us: we pray you in Christ’s stead, be ye reconciled to God” 2 Corinthians 5:20. 

“But ye shall receive POWER, after that the Holy Ghost is come upon you: and ye shall be WITNESSES unto me both in Jerusalem, and in all Judæa, and in Samaria, and unto the uttermost part of the earth” Acts 1:8. 

“For so hath the Lord COMMANDED us, saying, I have SET thee to be a LIGHT of the Gentiles, that thou shouldest be for SALVATION unto the ENDS OF THE EARTH” Acts 13:47. 

“And this GOSPEL of the kingdom shall be PREACHED in all the world for a WITNESS unto ALL NATIONS; and then shall the end come” Matthew 24:14. 

“There was a man sent from God, whose name was John. 7 The same came for a WITNESS, to BEAR WITNESS of the Light, that all men through him might believe. 8 He was NOT that LIGHT, but was sent to BEAR WITNESS of that LIGHT” John 1:6-8 

Even our Saviour and Lord Jesus Christ was on earth to BEAR WITNESS of the Father God to humanity. Hence, He lived for a CAUSE [PURPOSE] – [John 18:37; 1 John 3:8]; and for such loyalty of service to please the Father God unreservedly, He was highly commended by the Father. He knew the implications of what it means to be an ambassador, a representative of the sending nation or country [Heaven] – [Matthew 25:14-30], without jeopardising the trust and faith been lavishly given to any to serve in such regards. 

“Pilate therefore said unto him, Art thou a king then? Jesus answered, Thou sayest that I am a king. To this end was I born, and for this CAUSE came I into the world, that I should BEAR WITNESS unto the truth. Every one that is of the truth heareth my voice” John 18:37 [1 John 3:8]. 

“And from Jesus Christ, who is the FAITHFUL WITNESS, and the FIRST BEGOTTEN of the dead, and the PRINCE of the kings of the earth. Unto him that LOVED us and WASHED us from our sins in his own blood, 6 and hath MADE us kings and priests unto God and his Father; to him be glory and dominion for ever and ever. Amen” Revelation 1:5-6. 

“Wherefore God also hath HIGHLY EXALTED Him, and GIVEN Him a NAME which is ABOVE EVERY NAME: 10 that at the NAME of Jesus every KNEE should BOW, of things in heaven, and things in earth, and things under the earth; 11 and that every TONGUE should CONFESS that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father” Philippians 2:9-11. 

And the essence of being able to BEAR WITNESS is to be a true and genuine carrier of the mission which is to ensure that from your domain to the ends of the earth, that the KNOWLEDGE and GLORY of God FILLED up every hearts and minds in order to secure them from the kingdom of darkness into the kingdom of our God in Christ Jesus stead.  

“But as truly as I Live, all the earth shall be FILLED with the GLORY of the Lord” Numbers 14:21 

“For the EARTH shall be FILLED with the KNOWLEDGE of the GLORY of the Lord, as the waters COVER the sea” Habakkuk 2:14. 

“Who hath DELIVERED us from the POWER of darkness, and hath TRANSLATED us into the KINGDOM of his dear Son: 14 in whom we have REDEMPTION through his blood, even the FORGIVENESS of sins” Colossians 1:13-14. 

I therefore challenge you today, to fan into flame the spirit within to give you the synergy that you need to fulfil the kingdom mandate upon your life in fulfilling purpose meaningfully, and that is, to ensure that from the rising of the sun to the going down, that all who comes through your way have opportunity to be filled with the knowledge and glory of God without sentiments, prejudice and dissimulation.  

Blessed regards.

MONTH FEBRUARY: DOING LIFE DIFFERENTLY – AS CHRIST’S AMBASSADOR! 

By Leave a Comment

MONTH FEBRUARY: DOING LIFE DIFFERENTLY – AS CHRIST’S AMBASSADOR! 

Do something different this month. Break through that fear of boredom and set patterns and methods. Ensure your life on principles, for our God is not of methods, but of PRINCIPLES. Therefore, do something differently from the set usual that hasn’t made anything refreshing, rejuvenating and blossoming in you, by doing it in this wise, but not limited: 

  • Close the kitchen and take time out to have a special meal with family and possibly friends outside home or the usual. Take your spouse out for a different kind of date than the usual. Drive through a different route to and from Church, work or places of interest. Make new and different kinds of friends and interests along. Mark 6:39-32; 1 John 3:16-17; James 2:14-18.  
  • Break through the usual pattern of settings in order to refresh and rejuvenate your laugh. As a Pastor close the church for a week and take members for a picnic or places of interest and have leisure as Jesus did, you won’t lose them. Go for a sporting, boat ride or ship cruise were possible. Go worship in a different Church outside your denomination or setting or go to another branch of your denomination setting and live free to learn of others beyond your usual. In heaven we crave after, there’s no DENOMINATION but BRETHREN, therefore learn now to fellowship with others beyond your settings. 1 Corinthians 1:9; Mark 6:30-32; Galatians 3:6-9, 26-29; James 1:26-27; Acts 15:35-36. 
  • Feed your enemy, give them a drink, for when a man’s way please the Lord, He makes his enemy to be at peace with him. Do you believe it, and can you do it? Proverbs 25:21-22; Romans 12:19-21; Proverbs 16:7; Matthew 5:38-48; 1 John 3:14-15. 
  • Take someone new to the grocery store for shopping and pay the bills. Where possible give someone a home or shelter, mobility and suchlike. Galatians 6:9-10. 
  • Live your life outside the box this month. Make peace, relate with those that hurt you, even when they are wrong, give God something to work with. Matthew 5:38-48; Romans 12:18-19. 
  • Resolve not to murmur, complain, nag and blame but take responsibility for once at least this month. It’s time to speak well and whole to all about you again and again. 1 Corinthians 10:10; Proverbs 6:2; Proverbs 18:20-21; Luke 4:22: Hebrews 10:23. 
  • Dare to be different this month! Set aside an hour, a day, or even a couple of days to lend a helping hand to someone in need. Share your skills, trade, or expertise with those who are less fortunate or limited by various factors – and do it without expecting payment or reward. 1 Thessalonians 4:9-12; Galatians 5:13; Ephesians 6:5-9; Luke 2:46, 52. 
  • You are of the New Testament, live your life beyond borders, hence visit your Unchurch friends and share love, hope and faith with them. For once, be of earthly good in your heavenly mindedness. Colossians 4:5-6; 1 Thessalonians 4:12; 1 Thessalonians 3:12-13; Galatians 5:6; Galatians 3:6-9, 26-29. 

BREAK THROUGH YOUR FEARS – ESPECIALLY YOURSELF THIS MONTH: BE A DIFFERENT AMBASSADOR FROM THE USUAL. 

Do all things in grace, surely you will be blessed. 

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT: 

“Finally, brethren, WHATSOEVER things are true, WHATSOEVER things are honest, WHATSOEVER things are just, whatsoever things are pure, WHATSOEVER things are lovely, WHATSOEVER things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, THINK on these things” Philippine 4:8. 

“And the apostles gathered themselves together unto Jesus, and told him ALL THINGS, both what they HAD DONE, and what they HAD TAUGHT. 31 And he said unto them, Come ye yourselves APART into a DESERT PLACE, and REST A WHILE: for there were MANY COMING AND GOING, AND THEY HAD NO LEISURE SO MUCH AS TO EAT. 32 And they DEPARTED into a DESERT PLACE by ship PRIVATELY” Mark 6:30-32. 

“Now then we are AMBASSADORS FOR CHRIST, as though God did beseech you by us: we pray you in Christ’s stead, be ye reconciled to God” 2 Corinthians 5:20.

“A WICKED MESSENGER falleth into mischief: but a FAITHFUL AMBASSADOR is HEALTH” Proverbs 13:17. 

“That Christ may dwell in your hearts by faith; that ye, being rooted and grounded in love, 18 may be able to comprehend with all saints what is the breadth, and length, and depth, and height; 19 and to know the love of Christ, which passeth knowledge, that ye might be filled with all the fulness of God” Ephesians 3:17-19.

“This is my commandment, That ye love one another, as I have LOVED you. 13 Greater LOVE hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends. 14 Ye are my friends, if ye do whatsoever I command you” John 15: 12-14. 

“And hope maketh not ashamed; because the LOVE of God is shed abroad in our hearts by the Holy Ghost which is given unto us . . . 8 But God commendeth his LOVE toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us” Romans 5:5, 8.

“Seeing ye have purified your souls in obeying the truth through the Spirit unto unfeigned love of the brethren, see that ye LOVE one another with a pure heart fervently: 23 being born again, not of corruptible seed, but of incorruptible, by the word of God, which liveth and abideth forever” 1 Peter 1:22-23. 

“For the kingdom of God is not in word, but in power. 21 What will ye? shall I come unto you with a rod, or in LOVE, and in the spirit of meekness?” 1 Corinthians 4:20-21. 

“Who shall separate us from the LOVE of Christ? shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword? 36 As it is written, for thy sake we are killed all the day long; we are accounted as sheep for the slaughter. 37 Nay, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him that loved us. 38 For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come, 39 nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the LOVE of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord” Romans 8:35-40.

OCCUPY TILL I COME AS CHRIST’S AMBASSADOR

By Leave a Comment

OCCUPY TILL I COME AS CHRIST’S AMBASSADOR: THE HOLY SPIRIT DEFAULT LOVE THAT ENHANCES EARTHLY USEFULNESS AND HEAVENLY MINDEDNESS FOR AN AMBASSADOR!

“And hope maketh not ashamed; because THE LOVE of God is SHED (LAVISHED) abroad in our HEARTS (SPIRIT-BEING) by the Holy Ghost which is GIVEN unto us . . . 8 But God commendeth his LOVE toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us” Romans 5:5, 8.

The Holy Spirit default LOVE of God for God’s AMBASSADOR FOR CHRIST, is the only purpose driven enabling in the grace, to keep the enemy and cohorts at bay, and to advance the kingdom cause. And here is a didactic sense of measure, such that we don’t just say we have love, but we do LIVE and WALK in the default LOVE of God, knowing that LOVE is God and is of God; and it’s the default LOVE is the lubricant for our life in Christ Jesus and for all mankind. Take the Holy Spirit out of God’s love, one is then bound to have an adulteration and distortion of the love context that’s built on sentiment, prejudice and dissimulation. For its upon the Holy Spirit default LOVE for God, we can then OCCUPY in Christ until he comes to “BEING EARTHLY USEFUL and HEAVENLY MINDED” in the grace, wherein we stand in the faith.

“Beloved, let us LOVE one another: for LOVE is of God; and every one that loveth is born of God, and knoweth God. 8 He that loveth not knoweth not God; FOR GOD IS LOVE. 9 In this was manifested the love of God toward us, because that God sent his only begotten Son into the world, that we might live through him. 10 Herein is love, not that we loved God, but that he loved us, and sent his Son to be the propitiation for our sins . . . 16 And we have known and believed the love that God hath to us. GOD IS LOVE; and he that dwelleth in love dwelleth in God, and God in him. 17 Herein is our love made perfect, that we may have boldness in the day of judgment: BECAUSE AS HE IS, SO ARE WE IN THIS WORLD. 18 There is no fear in love; but perfect love casteth out fear: because fear hath torment. He that feareth is not made perfect in love” 1 John 4:7–10, 16-18.

Love is an attitude, and of a deliberate and intentional choice, and an exercise of the will, and a gracious choice to do life and live godly in Christ Jesus stead; and it’s not just a feeling, it is an expression of the nature and person of God by the Holy Spirit in Christ Jesus, hence it’s spiritual, divinely inspired and imbedded in the very human hearts [spirit-being] of all God’s human creation that’s reborn of God in Christ Jesus; and more importantly, it’s in the very nature of the redeemed child of God, filled and led by the Holy Spirit to fulfil purpose meaningfully. The Holy Spirit default love is not a doctrine, creed and dogmas. The Holy Spirit default love outlived generations because it’s timeless and it’s of God the Father, God the Son and God the Holy Spirit. For God is love personified in our spirit-being for our well-being in Christ Jesus.

The Holy Spirit default LOVE of God is a FRUIT and not a GIFT. And FRUITS are GROWN while GIFTS are IMPARTED. Genuine Bible love – AGAPE – is for the reborn of God and is a product of the Holy Spirit that indwells in us as written:

“And hope maketh not ashamed; because THE LOVE of God is SHED (LAVISHED) abroad in our HEARTS (SPIRIT-BEING) by the Holy Ghost which is GIVEN unto us . . . 8 But God commendeth his LOVE toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us” Romans 5:5, 8.

“But the FRUIT of the Spirit is LOVE, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, 23 meekness, temperance: against such there is no law” Galatians 5:22-23.

“For the FRUIT of the Spirit is in all goodness and righteousness and truth” Ephesians 5:9.

To OCCUPY TILL I COME as Christ’s ambassador, is by doing life and living godly by the Holy Spirit default LOVE; and this default of LOVE, gives the enabling to enhance earthly usefulness and heavenly mindedness for an ambassador for Christ. Let’s therefore consider LOVE in diversity for a clearer understanding of the various kinds of LOVE being implied in this context that’s applicable for the good of humans.

DEFINING THE THREE KINDS OF LOVE THAT AFFECTS THE HUMANS – BODY, SOUL AND SPIRIT [1 THESSALONIANS 5:23; HEBREWS 4:12-13]:

  1. The PHILEO love: Grk (of the soul) – The Love relationship in family – which is between parent and child, otherwise, the Family kind of love. It also embodied love relationship towards friends and colleagues. It means to be fond of; it is based on FEELINGS and not on PRINCIPLE. It’s never used of man’s love to or for God. This is human or natural kind of love. [Deuteronomy 6:4-9; Genesis 8:19; Ephesians 6:4; Colossians 3:21]. This kind of love is however essential and crucial for a family bonding and wellbeing.
  2. The EROS Love: Grk (of the Physical body) – The Sexual kind of love, which is pure and purely reserved for the married – within the bond of marriage. It’s based on PHYSICAL ATTRACTION. It’s neither for fornication nor adultery. Unfortunately, lust and immoral desires have gotten some into it, hence there’s a great act of PERVERSION, DISTORTION and ADULTERATION in our societies today – and we are paying hugely for the consequences and effects across the board. [Hebrews 13:4; 1 Corinthians 7:1-9; 1 Corinthians 6:15-20].
  3. The AGAPE Love: Grk (of the spirit) – The God kind of love; the kind of love that’s unconditional, limitless, divine and spiritual. It transcends race, gender, generation, culture, family, physical, personal (self) etc. The love without sentiments, prejudice and dissimulation – [1 Corinthians 13:1-13]. It’s built on PRINCIPLE and does not demand but gives. Agape love even helps to ENSURE, STRENGTHEN and MAINTAIN the vitality of the phileo and the EROS kind of love in all life endeavours. Agape love is a faith-based principle on the word of God – which is towards empowering people as AMBASSADOR FOR CHRIST in doing life and living godly in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.

Notably, the PHILEO or EROS kinds of Love, need to be controlled and subjected by the AGAPE kind of love or else it will hinder and affects our fellowship with God and leads to unwelcome SIN and sinful acts. [E.g. EROS – 1 Corinthians 13:5; PHILEO – 1 Samuel 2:22-36].

Therefore, as AMBASSADOR FOR CHRIST, let’s not just say we have love, but let’s go forth in the grace, and LIVE and WALK in the Holy Spirit default LOVE, knowing that love is of the Holy Spirit and the Holy Spirit is given to only the Believer’s [reborn] of God in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.

“And I will pray the Father, and He shall give you another Comforter, that He may abide WITH you for ever; 17 even the Spirit of truth; whom THE WORLD CANNOT RECEIVE, because it seeth Him not, neither knoweth Him: but ye know Him; for He dwelleth WITH you, and shall be IN you”  John 14:16-17.

Dear friend and beloved of God in Christ Jesus, just know that’s it’s a high time to LIVE and WALK in love. Lets make it happen, for the charge – OCCUPY TILL I COME – as AMBASSADOR FOR CHRIST, is the essence; and by the Holy Spirit of LOVE default, the Believer’s in Christ Jesus can then enhances earthly usefulness and the heavenly mindedness.

SELAH – PAUSE AND THINK.

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:

“Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a NEW CREATURE: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new. 18 And all things are of God, who hath reconciled us to himself by Jesus Christ, and hath given to us the ministry of reconciliation; 19 to wit, that God was in Christ, reconciling the world unto himself, not imputing their trespasses unto them; and hath committed unto us the word of reconciliation. 20 Now then we are AMBASSADORS FOR CHRIST, as though God did beseech you by us: we pray you in Christ’s stead, be ye reconciled to God. 21 For he hath made him to be sin for us, who knew no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of God in him” 2 Corinthians 5:17-21.

“If we LIVE in the Spirit, let us also WALK in the Spirit” Galatians 5:25.

“Be ye therefore followers of God, as dear children; 2 and WALK IN LOVE, as Christ also hath loved us, and hath given himself for us an offering and a sacrifice to God for a sweetsmelling savour” Ephesians 5:1-2.

“That Christ may dwell in your hearts by faith; that ye, being ROOTED and GROUNDED IN LOVE, 18 may be able to COMPREHEND with all saints what is the BREADTH, and LENGTH, and DEPTH, and HEIGHT; 19 and to KNOW THE LOVE OF christ, which PASSETH (TRANSCENDS,  SURPASSED) KNOWLEDGE (SENSE), that ye might be FILLED with all the FULNESS of God” Ephesians 3:17-19.

“But the FRUIT of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, 23 gentleness, self-control. Against such there is no law” Galatians 5:22-23/NKJV

“For the FRUIT of the Spirit is in all goodness, righteousness, and truth” Ephesians 5:9/NKJV.

“Now may the God of peace Himself sanctify you through and through [that is, separate you from profane and vulgar things, make you pure and whole and undamaged—consecrated to Him—set apart for His purpose]; and may your SPIRIT and SOUL and BODY be kept complete and [be found] blameless at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ” 1 Thessalonians 5:23/Amplified.

“For the word of God is living and active and full of power [making it operative, energizing, and effective]. It is sharper than any two-edged sword, penetrating as far as the division of the SOUL and SPIRIT [the completeness of a person], and of both JOINTS and MARROW [the deepest parts of our nature], exposing and judging the very thoughts and intentions of the heart. 13 And not a creature exists that is concealed from His sight, but all things are open and exposed, and revealed to the eyes of Him with whom we have to give account” Hebrews 4:12-13/Amplified.

BEING CHRIST’S AMBASSADOR IN LOVE

BEING CHRIST’S AMBASSADOR IN LOVE: TO ENSURE THAT THE EARTH IS FILLED – WITH THE KNOWLEDGE AND GLORY OF THE LORD!

“But as truly as I Live, all the earth shall be FILLED with the GLORY of the Lord” Numbers 14:21.

“For the EARTH shall be FILLED with the KNOWLEDGE of the GLORY of the Lord, as the waters COVER the sea” Habakkuk 2:14.

One of the key missions of any visionary ambassador is to fulfil the assigned context of the sending nation to the stationed nation where he/she is serving as a representative [Messenger]. Otherwise such ambassador misnomer and behaviour will be declared with A PERSONA NON GRATA, meaning a person whose service is not wanted or warranted or welcome; and is not worthy and qualified to represent the affairs of the sending nation [country] in the stationed nation [country] originally assigned to serve.

And the scripture called such messenger [representative, ambassador] with A PERSONA NON GRATA, a wicked one [bad representative], in not serving worthily to FULFILL the assigned concept and perception of the sending nation as commission [assigned]. And as always, when declared a PERSONA NON GRATA, there’s bound to be a trouble [mischief] for such bad representative [ambassador], while the good and faithful ambassador that BEAR WITNESS of trust will enjoy a healthy and rewarding relationship with the sending nation [country]. And, I now ask – which are you today?

“A WICKED MESSENGER [REPRESENTATIVE] falleth into MISCHIEF [TROUBLE]: but a FAITHFUL AMBASSADOR is HEALTH” Proverbs 13:17.

And for us as to being CHRIST’S AMBASSADOR in love, our visionary mission upon which we are empowered of God to serve in Christ Jesus, is purely to BEAR WITNESS, thereby ensuring that the GOSPEL reaches unto the ends of the earth unhindered, and for the good and goodness of all mankind and not for a few; and we are to BEAR WITNESS from our home first, which is our Jerusalem] of being a representative, and then to the ends of the earth [Judah, Samaria,  etc] beyond walls and borders. It’s of no worth going about to BEAR WITNESS as CHRIST’S AMBASSADOR to the world while you can’t live out fully to be one at home with the KNOWLEDGE and GLORY of God in virtues in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.

“Now then we are AMBASSADORS FOR CHRIST, as though God did beseech you by us: we pray you in Christ’s stead, be ye reconciled to God” 2 Corinthians 5:20.

“But ye shall receive POWER, after that the Holy Ghost is come upon you: and ye shall be WITNESSES unto me both in Jerusalem, and in all Judæa, and in Samaria, and unto the uttermost part of the earth” Acts 1:8.

“For so hath the Lord COMMANDED us, saying, I have SET thee to be a LIGHT of the Gentiles, that thou shouldest be for SALVATION unto the ENDS OF THE EARTH” Acts 13:47.

“And this GOSPEL of the kingdom shall be PREACHED in all the world for a WITNESS unto ALL NATIONS; and then shall the end come” Matthew 24:14.

“There was a man sent from God, whose name was John. 7 The same came for a WITNESS, to BEAR WITNESS of the Light, that all men through him might believe. 8 He was NOT that LIGHT, but was sent to BEAR WITNESS of that LIGHT” John 1:6-8.

Even our Saviour and Lord Jesus Christ was on earth to BEAR WITNESS of the Father God to humanity. Hence He lived for a CAUSE [PURPOSE] – [John 18:37; 1 John 3:8]; and for such loyalty of service to please the Father God unreservedly, He was highly commended by the Father. He knew the implications of what it means to be an ambassador, a representative of the sending nation or country [Heaven] – [Matthew 25:14-30], without jeopardising the trust and faith been lavishly given to any to serve in such regards.

“Pilate therefore said unto him, Art thou a king then? Jesus answered, Thou sayest that I am a king. To this end was I born, and for this CAUSE came I into the world, that I should BEAR WITNESS unto the truth. Every one that is of the truth heareth my voice” John 18:37 [1 John 3:8].

“And from Jesus Christ, who is the FAITHFUL WITNESS, and the FIRST BEGOTTEN of the dead, and the PRINCE of the kings of the earth. Unto him that LOVED us, and WASHED us from our sins in his own blood, 6 and hath MADE us kings and priests unto God and his Father; to him be glory and dominion for ever and ever. Amen” Revelation 1:5-6.

“Wherefore God also hath HIGHLY EXALTED Him, and GIVEN Him a NAME which is ABOVE EVERY NAME: 10 that at the NAME of Jesus every KNEE should BOW, of things in heaven, and things in earth, and things under the earth; 11 and that every TONGUE should CONFESS that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father” Philippians 2:9-11.

And the essence of being able to BEAR WITNESS is to be a true and genuine carrier of the mission which is to ensure that from your domain to the ends of the earth, that the KNOWLEDGE and GLORY of God FILLED up every heart and mind in order to secure them from the kingdom of darkness into the kingdom of our God in Christ Jesus stead.

“But as truly as I Live, all the earth shall be FILLED with the GLORY of the Lord” Numbers 14:21

“For the EARTH shall be FILLED with the KNOWLEDGE of the GLORY of the Lord, as the waters COVER the sea” Habakkuk 2:14.

“Who hath DELIVERED us from the POWER of darkness, and hath TRANSLATED us into the KINGDOM of his dear Son: 14 in whom we have REDEMPTION through his blood, even the FORGIVENESS of sins” Colossians 1:13-14.

I therefore challenge you today, to fan into flame the spirit within to give you the synergy that you need to fulfil the kingdom mandate upon your life in fulfilling purpose meaningfully, and that is, to ensure that from the rising of the sun to the going down that all who comes through your way have opportunity to be filled with the knowledge and glory of God without sentiments, prejudice and dissimulation.

Blessed regards.

WELCOME TO MONTH FEBRUARY: DOING LIFE DIFFERENTLY – AS CHRIST’S AMBASSADOR!

Do something different this month. Break through that fear of boredom and set patterns and methods. Ensure your life on principles, for our God, is not of methods but of principles.

Therefore, do something differently from the set usual that have not made anything refreshing, rejuvenating and blossoming in you, by doing it in this wise, but not limited:

* Close the kitchen and take time out to have a special meal with family and possibly friends outside home or the usual. Take your spouse out for a different kind of date from the usual. Drive through a different route to and from Church, work or places of interest. Make new and different kind of friends and interest along. Mark 6:39-32; 1 John 3:16-17; James 2:14-18.

*Break through the usual pattern of settings in order to refresh and rejuvenate your laugh. As a Pastor close the church for a week and take members for a picnic or places of interest and have leisure as Jesus did, you won’t lose them. Go for a sporting, boat ride or ship cruise were possible. Go worship in a different Church outside your denomination or setting or go to another branch of your denomination setting and live free to learn of others beyond your usual. In heaven we crave after, there’s no DENOMINATION but BRETHREN, therefore learn now to fellowship with others beyond your settings. 1 Corinthians 1:9; Mark 6:30-32; Galatians 3:6-9, 26-29; James 1:26-27; Acts 15:35-36.

* Feed your enemy, give them a drink, for when a man’s way please the Lord, He makes his enemy to be at peace with him. Do you believe it, and can you do it? Proverbs 25:21-22; Romans 12:19-21; Proverbs 16:7; Matthew 5:38-48; 1 John 3:14-15.

* Take someone new to the groceries for shopping and pay the bills. Where possible give someone a home or shelter, mobility and suchlike. Galatians 6:9-10.

*Live your life outside the box this month.  Make peace, relate with those that hurts you though they are the wrong and give God something to work with. Matthew 5:38-48; Romans 12:18-19.

* Resolve not to murmur, complain, nag and blame but take responsibility for once at least this month. It’s time to speak well and whole to all about you again and again. 1 Corinthians 10:10; Proverbs 6:2; Proverbs 18:20-21; Luke 4:22: Hebrews 10:23.

*Dare to do something different this month by taking a good time of yours for an hour or a day or couples to give someone a helping hand of your skill or trade or mentoring without asking for a pay or reward, more especially to the have not or unskilled or limited by some factors. 1 Thessalonians 4:9-12; Galatians 5:13; Ephesians 6:5-9; Luke 2:46, 52.

* You are of the New Testament, live your life beyond borders, hence visit your Unchurch friends and share love, hope and faith with them. For once, be of earthly good in your heavenly mindedness. Colossians 4:5-6; 1 Thessalonians 4:12; 1 Thessalonians 3:12-13; Galatians 5:6; Galatians 3:6-9, 26-29.

BREAK THROUGH YOUR FEARS – ESPECIALLY YOURSELF THIS MONTH: BE A DIFFERENT AMBASSADOR FROM THE USUAL.

Do all things in grace, surely you will be bless.

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:

“Finally, brethren, WHATSOEVER things are true, WHATSOEVER things are honest, WHATSOEVER things are just, whatsoever things are pure, WHATSOEVER things are lovely, WHATSOEVER things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, THINK on these things” Philippians 4:8.

“And the apostles gathered themselves together unto Jesus, and told him ALL THINGS, both what they HAD DONE, and what they HAD TAUGHT. 31 And he said unto them, Come ye yourselves APART into a DESERT PLACE, and REST A WHILE: for there were MANY COMING AND GOING, AND THEY HAD NO LEISURE SO MUCH AS TO EAT. 32 And they DEPARTED into a DESERT PLACE by ship PRIVATELY” Mark 6:30-32.

“Now then we are AMBASSADORS FOR CHRIST, as though God did beseech you by us: we pray you in Christ’s stead, be ye reconciled to God” 2 Corinthians 5:20.

WELCOME TO MONTH FEBRUARY 2025: THE MONTH OF “BEING CHRISTLIKE IN LOVE’ – [BEING CHRIST’S AMBASSADOR IN LOVE]!

Now we’ve turned into Month February, the second month of the Gregorian and Julian calendars, wherein many are prone to be celebrating St Valentine, the priest of love.

It’s my earnest PRAYERS for you in month February: “That you might KNOW THE LOVE of Christ Jesus, that surpasses and transcends, your human senses of reasoning and comprehension in doing life and living godly by God in Christ Jesus stead. Amen”. Ephesians 3:17-19.

Kindly take time to ponder of the scriptural context here that I will be using in exhorting through the cause of the Month.

Blessed regards.

SELAH – PAUSE AND THINK.

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING ON CONTEXT:

“Now then we ARE AMBASSADORS FOR CHRIST, as though God did beseech you by us: we pray you in Christ’s stead, be ye reconciled to God” 2 Corinthians 5:20.

“A WICKED MESSENGER falleth into mischief: but a FAITHFUL AMBASSADOR is HEALTH” Proverbs 13:17.

“That Christ may dwell in your hearts by faith; that ye, being rooted and grounded in love, 18 may be able to comprehend with all saints what is the breadth, and length, and depth, and height; 19 and to know the love of Christ, which passeth knowledge, that ye might be filled with all the fulness of God” Ephesians 3:17-19.

“A new commandment I give unto you, That ye love one another; as I have LOVED you, that ye also love one another. 35 By this shall all men know that ye are my disciples, if ye have LOVE one to another” John 13: 34-35.

“This is my commandment, That ye love one another, as I have LOVED you. 13 Greater LOVE hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends. 14 Ye are my friends, if ye do whatsoever I command you” John 15: 12-14.

“And hope maketh not ashamed; because the LOVE of God is shed abroad in our hearts by the Holy Ghost which is given unto us . . . 8 But God commendeth his LOVE toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us” Romans 5:5, 8.

“For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of LOVE, and of a sound mind” 2 Timothy 1:7.

“Now I beseech you, brethren, for the Lord Jesus Christ’s sake, and for the LOVE of the Spirit, that ye strive together with me in your prayers to God for me” Romans 15:30.

“But the fruit of the Spirit is LOVE, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith” Galatians 5:22.

“If there be therefore any consolation in Christ, if any COMFORT OF LOVE, if any fellowship of the Spirit, if any bowels and mercies” Philippians 2:1.

“Seeing ye have purified your souls in obeying the truth through the Spirit unto unfeigned love of the brethren, see that ye LOVE one another with a pure heart fervently: 23 being born again, not of corruptible seed, but of incorruptible, by the word of God, which liveth and abideth for ever” 1 Peter 1:22-23.

“For the kingdom of God is not in word, but in power. 21 What will ye? shall I come unto you with a rod, or in LOVE, and in the spirit of meekness?” 1 Corinthians 4:20-21.

“Who shall separate us from the LOVE of Christ? shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword? 36 As it is written, For thy sake we are killed all the day long; we are accounted as sheep for the slaughter. 37 Nay, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him that loved us. 38 For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come, 39 nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the LOVE of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord” Romans 8:35-40.

“Though I speak with the TONGUES OF MEN and OF ANGELS, but have NOT LOVE, I have become sounding brass or a clanging cymbal” 1 Corinthians 13:1/NKJV.
