READ: 1 Corinthians 8:9-13

  1. But take heed lest by any means this liberty of your’s become a stumblingblock to them that are weak.
  2. For if any man see thee which hast knowledge sit at meat in the idol’s temple, shall not the conscience of him which is weak be emboldened to eat those things which are offered to idols;
  3. And through thy knowledge shall the weak brother perish, for whom Christ died?
  4. But when ye sin so against the brethren, and wound their weak conscience, ye sin against Christ.
  5. Wherefore, if meat make my brother to offend, I will eat no flesh while the world standeth, lest I make my brother to offend.

BIBLE IN ONE YEAR: 1 Timothy 6:1-21, Jeremiah 17-19

MESSAGE:

An ambassador is an accredited person who represents his/her nation in a foreign country. When a country chooses a person to serve as an ambassador, it means the fellow has characteristics that reflect who they are and who they want to be.

It is not difficult to know those who are true ambassadors. Jesus said: by their fruits, you will know them. Galatians 5:22-23 lists the fruit of the Spirit expected of us as believers. Are you patient, kind, peaceful? Can your friends, neighbours and siblings testify that truly, you are an ambassador of Christ? A renowned Muslim cleric once said that if he could find ten Christians like Adeboye, he would convert to Christianity. Your fruit should make others want to convert to Christ.

Don’t let your attitude be a stumbling block to others who want to come to Christ. If you claim to be Christs ambassador, let it show in your attitude and relationship with others.

REFLECTION

Are you a true ambassador of Christ?

HYMN: Stand Up, Stand Up For Jesus

  1. Stand up! stand up for Jesus
    Ye soldiers of the cross!
    Lift high His royal banner;
    It must not suffer loss.
    From vict’ry unto vict’ry
    His army shall He lead,
    Till every foe is vanquished,
    And Christ is Lord indeed.
  2. Stand up! stand up for Jesus,
    the trumpet call obey;
    Forth to the mighty conflict,
    In this His glorious day;
    Ye that are men now serve Him
    against unnumbered foes;
    let courage rise with danger,
    and strength to strength oppose.
  3. Stand up! stand up for Jesus,
    stand in his strength alone;
    The arm of flesh will fail you,
    Ye dare not trust your own:
    put on the gospel armour,
    And watching unto prayer;
    where duty calls, or danger,
    be never wanting there.
  4. Stand up! stand up for Jesus,
    The strife will not be long;
    this day the noise of battle,
    the next the victor’s song:
    to him that overcometh
    A crown of life shall be;
    He with the King of glory
    shall reign eternally.
