Thursday daily devotional by Pastor David Okoye (Ambassadors Word Diet, 16th NOV, 2017) – Take up the call! (pt 2)

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. 2 Corinthians 5:19

Your role in Christendom isn’t about attending Sunday services, singing out loud, or wearing the best of clothes to a church gathering. Your role is in reconciling men to God.

The ministry of reconciliation isn’t for the ordained; it is for ALL.

You see, the ministry of reconciliation is the highest honour a man can have. Jesus said in John 14:25,

Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that believeth on me, the works that I do shall he do also; and greater works than these shall he do; because I go unto my Father.

Think of all the miracles Jesus did. What could be greater than raising the dead on several occasions? Think of it all. Yet, Jesus says we shall do greater works than He did. The only thing Jesus was unable to do was to give salvation to men.

That is to say, God sees every miracle that Jesus did, as nothing compared to salvation. You see, salvation is the greatest miracle; it is the complete package. You now have the power to do what Jesus was not able to do while He was here on earth. What a privilege!

You have the responsibility of making students of all men.

The unsaved are God’s heartbeat. His entire existence is focused on those living in darkness; without the light of the Gospel. He offered up His Son to die the most discomfiting and ignominious death for them. Make the sacrifice of Jesus count!

Lands would never be claimed for the Gospel; thousands wouldn’t get to hear this Good News if you and I refuse to take up our call. There are people that would only see Jesus through you. You are someone’s hope of salvation!

What happens when you refuse to do your part of the work? Matthew 28:19 says,

Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost: Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you always, even unto the end of the world. Amen.

Let the world see Christ in you, and hear about His Good News through you. Get active today! Your souls are your joy on earth, and your crown in heaven.

DECLARATION:
Lord, I thank you for deeming me worthy to receive this ministry. I do not keep silent; I am vocal about it. I fulfil my calling today!
