The Christian as an ambassador II

ByPastor Rufus Ajiboye Reading Time: 3 minutes
Peace and mercy from our Lord, Jesus Christ be multiplied in your life! I believe the word I am sharing with you in this column does strengthen you and help you to continue your journey to life everlasting. As we concluded earlier, it’s impossible to please God without understanding our role and purpose on the Earth. We also mentioned that God helps us to reach such understanding through His word. Metaphors used in the Bible help to reveal what God expects from us and how we can please Him. Yesterday we considered one of those metaphors – “ambassador” or “messenger”. God in His word calls us messengers, – those through whom God reconciles this world with Himself. As children of God, we need a revelation of who we are in Christ Jesus, in order to walk in God’s authority and reign over the Earth. The devil desires to establish his rules of evil in the world we’re living in and he wants to destroy this world through sin and disobedience. The devil has managed to blindfold the mind and the reasoning of many people to such an extent that they even deny God’s word and God’s authority over them. Thus, the devil is subtly trying to establish his dominion over this world and his rule over the lives of people that have been captured by him. By all means he tries to blackmail or slander God in the eyes of people. Devil promotes and implements his plans through a different lifestyle, called INDEPENDENCE FROM GOD. By making people independent from God, the devil later makes them dependent on him. It is such people who are independent from God that the devil needs in order promote his program and to manifest his nature. The Bible says he (the devil) is a murderer and a liar (John 8: 44). While God desires to establish the Kingdom of Heaven on Earth, the devil desires to establish a kingdom of darkness on this earth as well. He entered this world through deception and craftiness by sowing the seed of discord between God and mankind. He deceived Eve, saying God had hidden something from her. However, Jesus came to this Earth to destroy all works of the devil. 
«To this end the Son of God was revealed, that he might destroy the works of the devil». (1st John 3:8).
 So as we already discussed, Jesus restored God’s nature to us and gave us the ability to walk in God’s love (God’s nature). In Christ, God granted us the ability to defeat evil with good, walk in forgiveness and love, bring light into darkness and thus reconcile people with God. After Jesus restored us back to God and reconciled us with Him; after He brought the light and the nature of God to us, He returned to Heaven and commanded us (His disciples) to stay on the Earth as His messengers and ambassadors. Therefore, it so important that we don’t only have the revelation from God that we are the messengers and ambassadors of Heaven here on Earth, who have been sent to establish on the earth the will, the order and the perfect plan of our Heavenly Father, but it also very important that we walk in accordance to this revelation. Be blessed! Let’s continue tomorrow! Rufus Ajiboye, pastor

  • The Kingdom of God II

    It is impossible to establish God’s Kingdom in our hearts, our lives, our families and all the spheres of our influence without putting forth particular effort. In order for God’s Kingdom to grow we will need to fight and to engage in warfare. So if you have made a decision to have part in expansion of God’s Kingdom in this earth, you can not be a passive observer. Only active people that have taken a position of overcomers in Christ are able to establish the Kingdom in their lives and around them.

  • How does a truly responsible person look like? II

    AutorsPastor Rufus Ajiboye Reading Time: 3 minutes
    A responsible person is organized, disciplined and diligent even when nobody watches him or her. Such a person determines what he needs to do, when he needs to do it and makes the necessary effort to accomplish it. A responsible person submits to what he needs to do. Since he understands the importance of being responsible, he cannot be idle or inert. A responsible person effectively uses his time, his energy and his resources.

  • You have already been given that what you need to start your supernatural ministry

    AutorsPastor Rufus Ajiboye Reading Time: 4 minutes
    When you first begin, don’t expect something big. Start doing something small that you are able to do and do it with consistency and responsibility and do it with all of your heart. Develop the gifts and talents that you have noticed in yourself, using them for the good of the people and the Kingdom of God. As you do it God will allow you to enter larger ministry. You will be noticed not because you’re sitting around doing nothing, but because you are doing your best. That is how your gift makes room for you.“A man’s gift makes room for him, and brings him before great man” (Proverbs, 18: 16).

  • Plan, plant, pray, but also act!

    I want to begin this word with a story: A man had a wonderful garden that brought him a rich, abundant harvest. When his neighbor saw that, he decided that the next spring he would make a garden for himself too. But after the neighbor had sawn seeds in his garden, he did not do anything there afterward. He did not water his garden, did not cultivate, neither loosened the soil. When the autumn came, his garden was neglected and full with weeds. And, of course, it did not bring forth any fruit.
