Live As An Ambassador Of Christ

Now then we are ambassadors for Christ, as though God did b e s e e c hy o ub yu s :w ep r a yy o ui nC h r i s t ' ss t e a d ,b ey er e c o n c i l e d to God (2 Corinthians 5:20).

n ambassador refers to an official envoy; especially a diplomatic agent accredited to a foreign government or one who is sovereign as the resident representative of his own government. Now, being the legal representative of his country in a foreign nation, all the resources he needs to function: his accommodation, clothing, equipments, money etc., are fully provided by his government. No matter the economic situation of his host nation, he is independent of that but relies on his home government. Now, the Word of God describes us as ambassadors for Christ; we are diplomats from heaven, for we are citizens of the beloved country of Zion: (We, however, are citizens of heaven Philippians 3:20 GNB). Thus youre living in this world as an ambassador of heaven, just like an earthly ambassador lives in the country of his posting. As a heavenly ambassador, youre open to enjoy all the wonderful privileges of your heavenly Kingdom. If an earthly nation would see to it that her ambassadors had all their needs and requirements supplied, how much more you, an ambassador of heaven and a child of the Most High God! Remember, youre the legal representative of Gods Kingdom here on earth; therefore live as one. Youre not

of this world! The Lord has called you and separated you from the world, youre from above. Refuse to toil and struggle like the people of the world, for you belong in Gods Kingdom. You have a blood-bought right to live the g o o dl i f e .

Confession
I am an ambassador of Christ, a legal representative of Gods Kingdom. The Lord has called me and separated me from the world; Im from above. I refuse to toil and struggle like the people of the world, for I belong in Gods Kingdom, where I enjoy the full blessings and privileges of my kingdom inheritance.
