It’s challenging to go through your life and forget to go to work. You have a job to do to make it through life. The Bible contains verses that warn against not working and being lazy. Do you know your job as a Heaven citizen if you are saved? You are an ambassador! Your job is to get as many people to become citizens as possible before you are called home. How have you been doing at your job?
Look at the early church, and follow their example – pray for BOLDNESS in these times of increasing persecution of Christians and all things Godly:
Acts 4:23–31.
23 When they were released, they went to their friends and reported what the chief priests and the elders had said to them. 24 And when they heard it, they lifted their voices together to God and said, “Sovereign Lord, who made the heaven and the earth and the sea and everything in them, 25 who through the mouth of our father David, your servant, said by the Holy Spirit,
“‘Why did the Gentiles rage,
and the peoples plot in vain?
26 The kings of the earth set themselves,
and the rulers were gathered together,
against the Lord and against his Anointed’— 27 for truly in this city there were gathered together against your holy servant Jesus, whom you anointed, both Herod and Pontius Pilate, along with the Gentiles and the peoples of Israel, 28 to do whatever your hand and your plan had predestined to take place. 29 And now, Lord, look upon their threats and grant to your servants to continue to speak your word with all boldness, 30 while you stretch out your hand to heal, and signs and wonders are performed through the name of your holy servant Jesus.” 31 And when they had prayed, the place in which they were gathered together was shaken, and they were all filled with the Holy Spirit and continued to speak the word of God with boldness.
We need boldness today to be ambassadors. The world is increasingly against us as Christians, and the Bible says that the times only get more challenging, not better, so prepare yourself and pray for strength and boldness.
Go in peace and live your day for the Lord!
I pray, MARANATHA! (Come quickly, Lord Jesus!)
