Be an Ambassador< ?xml version='1.0' encoding='utf-8'?>

2 Corinthians 5:17-21

Are you representing Him in your daily life as much as it should be? How are you representing Him? Is it by self introduction that you can be identified as a Christian, or by the way you are living your life? If you have given your life to Him, you have taken a stand to be His representative anywhere you go. Anywhere you go, before any self introduction, by virtue of your communication and lifestyle, it should be clear that you are His ambassador. 2 Corinthians < ?xml version='1.0' encoding='utf-8'?>5:17, ÒTherefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; old things have passed away; behold, all things have become new.Ó Does that statement represent you? Just a reminder, Christ is the center of your life, not a society, nor work, nor anything else. Are you standing out for Him or sitting out for Him? When it becomes a fact that the only way you can be identified as a believer outside the church is through self introduction, something is wrong. 2 Corinthians 5:20, ÒNow then we are ambassadors for Christ, as though God were pleading through us: we implore you on ChristÕs behalf, be reconciled to God.Ó Every requirement in the word of God is possible; if they are not, it would not have been required of man to live by His word. Ask God to help you so you can actually live your life for GodÕs glory. 

Be Yourself< ?xml version='1.0' encoding='utf-8'?>

1 Samuel 8:10-22

As a child of God, it is very dangerous to be looking outside of God for who you want to be like. When your focus is on God and you are constantly and consistently focused on what He has done and what He is doing in your life, you will not want to be like anyone else but to be what God has made you to be. When you begin to think of becoming like someone else, you will begin to reject what God is doing and whom God is using to take you to where He wants you to be. 1 Samuel < ?xml version='1.0' encoding='utf-8'?>8:19, ÒNevertheless the people refused to obey the voice of Samuel; and they said, ÒNo, but we will have a king over us.Ó The children of Israel took the way of self destruction because they wanted to be like other people. Do you know Him as the One and only One in charge of your life? If you do, ignore how ÒBrother BigÓ arrived at being big, be yourself and God will finish what He has started in you without failure. The children of Israel insisted on being like others. 1 Samuel 8:20, ÒThat we also may be like all the nations, and that our king may judge us and go out before us and fight our battles.Ó Why change what is working and does not fail? When God is ordering your steps, you do not have to be like others; otherwise you will be out of order into confusion. Be yourself at all times and in all situations.

Be Careful< ?xml version='1.0' encoding='utf-8'?>

1 Samuel 8:1-9

Whatever you are asking God to do for you, be very careful, God is still in the business of answering the call of His children. Some things you ask for will go forth and be delivered and there will be no excuse. Proverbs 6:2, ÒYou are snared by the words of your mouth; You are taken by the words of your mouth.Ó  When they are crying out and rejecting God, it was an act of ignorance. They did not know that their call was a call of rejecting God; they thought they were rejecting Samuel. 1 Samuel 8:7, Ò And the LORD said to Samuel, ÒHeed the voice of the people in all that they say to you; for they have not rejected you, but they have rejected Me, that I should not reign over them.Ó If you do not know what and when to ask from God, just go before Him in thanksgiving and in praise worship. When you are thanking Him wholeheartedly, and praising Him in deed and in truth, you will end up in a place where all that you are looking for is waiting and sitting for you. Psalm 100:4, ÒEnter into His gates with thanksgiving, And into His courts with praise. Be thankful to Him, and bless His name.Ó If you do not know what to ask Him, it can be very safe for you to go before Him in thanksgiving and praising. He is a faithful God. In the children of < ?xml version='1.0' encoding='utf-8'?>IsraelÕs asking, they were rejecting God as King ignorantly. Ignorance is not an excuse before God. Be very careful how you ask, what you ask, and when you ask.

His Eyes< ?xml version='1.0' encoding='utf-8'?>

Psalm 33

The mercy of God is the eye of God, the eye of God is His mercy. Luke1:50, ÒAnd His mercy is on those who fear Him From generation to generation.Ó Do you fear Him enough to know that His mercy is on you? Psalm 33:18, ÒBehold, the eye of the LORD is on those who fear Him, On those who hope in His mercy.Ó Where have you placed your hope? If you have placed your hope on any one or any thing rather than the name of the Lord Jesus Christ, you are far from rest. You might be enjoying rest or breakthrough, but it will not last unless it is from the everlasting God. The mercy of God, His eyes is what you need to look up to. You do not look up to Him with words that do not have its root in your heart. He sees your heart, your outside that matters to those around you will not affect how He responds to you. If you chose to be knocking your head on the wall in the corner of your room or the floor of your church, it will not move Him. The eye of the LORD is open round the clock. He sees all that you are looking and He never runs out of mercy because he is a merciful God. Look up to God; He is faithful do not run out of His mercy.

Do it All< ?xml version='1.0' encoding='utf-8'?>

Genesis 6:1-22

Obedience to the word of God requires doing it all before the fullness of blessings can flow. Noah was not just obedient to God, he was obedient to the fullest. When the whole population was living ungodly lives, Noah was not part of it. When it was time for judgment, God singled him out along with detailed instructions. He was to build an ark and select some prescribed group of animals as God directed him. Genesis 6:22, ÒThus Noah did; according to all that God commanded him, so he did.Ó Are you addressing your life in full obedience to GodÕs command over your specific deliverance? Obeying His command when it locates you is what will terminate your stagnation. A marriage ceremony in Cana of Galilee ran out of wine. Disgrace, embarrassment, and ridicule was in place. Mary, the mother of Jesus intervened by appealing to Jesus for provision. Mary instructed the servants at the wedding in John 2:5, ÒHis mother said to the servants, whatever He says to you, do it.Ó Obeying Jesus all the time will address every area of lack, it will bring forth deliverance, and where thousands are falling, you will remain standing to the glory of God. Invest whatever it takes for you to obey His commandment because it will deliver into your hands more than you expect to get. Always do it all just as commanded.
