YOU ARE GOD’S REPRESENTATIVE

“Now then we are ambassadors for Christ, as though God did beseech you by us: we pray you
in Christ’s stead, be ye reconciled to God.” 2 Corinthians 5:20 (KJV)

God wants you to represent Him well in your office. He wants you to conduct yourself as His
ambassador at the marketplace and where you ply your trade. The fact that your colleagues
act in a certain way where you work is not an excuse enough for you to follow suit. As an
employee, are you part of those who conspire to defraud the company? Well, you might say
that you’re not defrauding your company, but you’re never early to work. There is always a
reason why you are late to work. As an artisan, the quality of your work is nothing to write
home about, but then you complain that you’re not getting clients. How, then, are you
different? As the salt of the earth, if you’ve lost your savour, of what use are you?

Beloved, your God is excellent, and anything you do must reflect this excellence if you are
His ambassador. As God’s ambassadors on earth, we have the advantage, but unfortunately,
we are not leveraging on it simply because we have allowed ourselves to conform to the
world’s style. So, rather than seeking answers from us, it seems the reverse is the case. We are
now seeking answers from the world.

We are different from the world and, therefore, should stand out regardless of where we find
ourselves. We make bold confessions every. But how many of us honestly believe and live
out these confessions? Much more than ever before, necessity is laid on you to be a true
example of the believer in word, conversation, love, spirit, faith, and purity. Remember that
you are God’s masterpiece and must let the Excellency of God be reflected in everything you
do. The world is getting darker by the day. But this is the time for the church to shine as the
light that we have been made to be. Wherever you turn, the light of God will be revealed in
you.
