Just A Thought No. 425     (August 4th.2014)

COMMISSIONED FOR ACTIVE SERVICE

(2 Cor. 5:19) committed unto us the word of reconciliation

Just picture for yourself that you have a wallet full of ‘visiting cards’ (a.k.a. ‘Business Cards’) on which appears your full name (remember your family name is ‘Christ’) and also that you are an ambassador for the Kingdom of God. Ambassador: Dict.= one sent around; messenger; .. the highest-ranking representative appointed by a country (or monarch) to be their presence and authority in another domain ... an ambassador FOR Christ … then maturing into an ambassador AS Christ which equates with being an ambassador for the Kingdom of God (not “Church”!) Also on your card are some of your qualifications that you are growing into!   Assurance (of your full calling); Peacemaker; Acceptance of all and condemner of none with the word of reconciliation now in you; have Royal authority; love to worship and sing (especially ‘in the spirit’); non-compromiser; joyfully non-religious; a listener; full of faith … and so on. As an ambassador you will become fully conversant and able to share (most if not all) of the headlines and certain details of the Kingdom’s mandate especially that which He has planned and is even now implementing.

You are God’s personal representative. If you have seen me, you have seen the Father.

In passing, How frequently would you hand out your card? …1] Rarely.   2] Occasionally.   3] Only if cornered!   4] When asked for it.  5]  Regularly out of a new Spirit-controlled lifestyle.

Remember the gifts and callings of God are without any change of mind! ... life-time commitments only accepted.

Is this still your vision or has it been squashed out of your life?          t.b.c.
