6 Steps To Become An Ambassador In Christ!

Please share with others!

As an Ambassador for Christ it is your duty to display the love, forgiveness, patience, righteousness, and power of God’s Kingdom on the earth.

When you accept Jesus, God starts the process of healing your broken emotions, removing negative thinking, breaking generational patterns, and helping you to abide in the spirit. Believers that undergo this transformation can POWERFULLY display the benefits of salvation, the holy spirit and the result of holy intimacy.

You are a walking testimony of God's goodness. You are his marketing strategy!

The Apostle Paul started off as a self-righteous Jew that murdered Christians. Unfortunately, He was promoting the will of Satan because he was blinded by pride. After an encounter with Jesus, he became aware of his sin and repented. God forgave him, healed him, and set him on a mission to spread the Gospel. His radical transformation was a sign of God’s power to all.

Ultimately, an Ambassador In Christ proclaims the Gospel to set captives free from Satan’s grasp. Therefore, we should imitate Paul because He teaches us how to be like Christ. Then, we’ll have the power and humility be messengers of God’s Kingdom.

How do you become an ambassador?

1. Receive Salvation: Accepting Jesus Christ as your lord and savior. “Jesus answered him, “Truly, truly, I say to you, unless one is born again he cannot see the kingdom of God.” John 3:3
2. Transform Your Mind: Renewing your mind and emotions are important to experience Holy thoughts and receive divine revelation from God. Release the orphan spirit and accept your position as a son or daughter of God.
3. Purify Your Heart: Become more holy (dying to selfishness) and rid yourself of pride, legalism, and pharisee behavior: “For I tell you, unless your righteousness exceeds that of the scribes and Pharisees, you will never enter the kingdom of heaven.” Matthew 5:10
4. Get To Know God Intimately: Learn to hear God, speak to God, understand his word, and listen to His plans for the earth just like Jesus. It’s imperative you learn God’s goodness and character, so you can combat the constant lies that the enemy tries to slander God with.
5. Identify your calling: You need to understand what avenue God has designed for your to spread the Gospel. Everyone is called to carry the characteristics of an ambassador, but everyone isn’t called to demonstrate them in the same way. For instance, I am called to teach others how to demonstrate the characteristics of Christ. I research the Bible and learn from Holy Spirit how to equip the body. I also help others escape the trap of sin and live holy lives. Your pathway to show the love of God can be completely different.
6. Transform the World: Be the light of love in a dark and hateful world. Choose to forgive, love, show mercy, be patient, and remain righteous. Then, your righteousness will shine for everyone to see. Remember, you are God’s marketing tool. Your life will convince others that holiness is worth it!

An unstoppable ambassador knows they’re a child of a King, knows how to access the peace during the most difficult moments in life, pursues stable emotional health, has been pruned by the spirit, submits to the disciplining of the Lord, and hears the father clearly.

If you admit you are weak, God will replace all your fears, weaknesses, and insecurities with a solid foundation of his love. Then, you’ll be like Jesus on the boat relaxing during a storm. The truth is, the enemy can cause a storm, but you can tap into God’s true peace to conquer any situation. With God, you are literally unstoppable.

“Therefore let us be grateful for receiving a kingdom that cannot be shaken, and thus let us offer to God acceptable worship, with reverence and awe,” Hebrews 12:28

It is like a grain of mustard seed, which, when sown on the ground, is the smallest of all the seeds on earth, yet when it is sown it grows up and becomes larger than all the garden plants and puts out large branches, so that the birds of the air can make nests in its shade.” Mark 4:30-32

Ambassador of Christ Bible Verses:

1. To achieve world transformation we much strive to be perfected as expressed in this scripture: “Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation. The old has passed away; behold, the new has come. All this is from God, who through Christ reconciled us to himself and gave us the ministry of reconciliation; that is, in Christ God was reconciling the world to himself, not counting their trespasses against them, and entrusting to us the message of reconciliation. Therefore, we are ambassadors for Christ, God making his appeal through us. We implore you on behalf of Christ, be reconciled to God. For our sake he made him to be sin who knew no sin, so that in him we might become the righteousness of God.“ 2 Corinthians 5:17-21

2. Ambassadors clothe themselves in the Whole Armor of God: “Finally, be strong in the Lord and in the strength of his might. Put on the whole armor of God, that you may be able to stand against the schemes of the devil. For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the cosmic powers over this present darkness, against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly places. Therefore take up the whole armor of God, that you may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand firm. 

Stand therefore, having fastened on the belt of truth, and having put on the breastplate of righteousness, and, as shoes for your feet, having put on the readiness given by the gospel of peace. In all circumstances take up the shield of faith, with which you can extinguish all the flaming darts of the evil one; and take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God, praying at all times in the Spirit, with all prayer and supplication. To that end, keep alert with all perseverance, making supplication for all the saints, and also for me, that words may be given to me in opening my mouth boldly to proclaim the mystery of the gospel, for which I am an ambassador in chains, that I may declare it boldly, as I ought to speak.” Ephesians 6:10-20
