MEMORY VERSE: “And all things are of God, who hath reconciled us to himself by Jesus Christ, and hath given to us the ministry of reconciliation;” – 2 Corinthians 5:18

BIBLE PASSAGE: 2 Corinthians 5:18-21

18 And all things are of God, who hath reconciled us to himself by Jesus Christ, and hath given to us the ministry of reconciliation;

19 To wit, that God was in Christ, reconciling the world unto himself, not imputing their trespasses unto them; and hath committed unto us the word of reconciliation.

20 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.

21 For he hath made him to be sin for us, who knew no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of God in him.

LESSON INTRODUCTION:

‘SAVED TO SERVE’ is the motto of a Christian Missionary Agency. A man saved from an impending doom or danger will always be grateful and would be willing to go out there especially when he knows that there are still a lot of people in his FORMER CONDITION. Once you are saved by His grace, the next prayer is to ask for grace to come upon you to know what to do in the journey ahead.

TEXT REVIEW: Acts 16:4-10

i. God first engaged in reconciling us to Himself.

ii. Every believer has been called into the ministry of reconciliation through our Lord Jesus.

iii. We are Christ Ambassadors.

iv. We are the righteousness of God through reconciliation.

LESSON OUTLINES:

REASONS WHY YOU SHOULD TAKE UP THE RECONCILIATION MINISTRY

1. Man in his natural state is a FALLEN MAN and cursed.
2. SIN IS IN THE NATURE OF MAN WHEN BORN INTO THE WORLD.
3. No man in sinful state can achieve or fulfill his purpose.
4. The result and end of sinful life is death whether we like it or not.
5. There is solution to the sinful state and curse-carrying life, Christ is the solution.
6. Sin is not the problem however, if is the rejection of Christ as Saviour that sends people to hell.

The Reconciliation Ministry is for all, salvation is the main item of the Gospel and the most important message delivered to man, what are you doing about it. Taking action means enlarging God’s Kingdom and making heaven to rejoice over you. The reconciliation ministry means joining the Army of God to fight the kingdom of darkness that is increasingly expanding. The actions or work involve:

1. Telling the helpless and hopeless man of the love of God.
2. The covenant of blood as propitiation for sins.
3. Failed man needs to look up to Christ.
4. Surrendering their helpless situation to Christ work on the cross.
5. Taking step towards life in Christ and in the spirit.

SUMMARY:
The work of reconciliation is compulsory for every believer.

CONCLUSION:
The essence of our salvation is to show the light by taking action to reconcile everyone possibly back to God through Christ work and love on the cross. The great commission as given in Matthew 28:18-20 is the only task for Christians until He comes back. What are you doing with your salvation, it is a gift or talent, the master is coming back, what have you used your talent of salvation to do, you are ONLY saved to help reconcile others to God.

ASSIGNMENTS:
What is the purpose of your salvation?

PRAYER POINTS

1. My Father please open my eyes that salvation is just a gift/talent to me and I will be asked what I used it for.
2. Lord help my unbelief, stir up the grace of evangelism of the world starting from my immediate environment and my house fellowship community.
3. The soul winner is wise, Father help me live a life of wisdom for you in Jesus Name.
4. Everyone you have given to me to reconcile back to you, Lord please touch their heart and let salvation come to their house today.
5. Father, in all my work of reconciliation, please let my fruits abide and let them multiply in Jesus Name.
