Ambassadors for Christ

There is a scripture in the 5th chapter of 2Corinthians that describes the Christian as an Ambassador for Christ. Many of you may be familiar with this passage, but the witness of the mainstream church does not portray this spiritual reality. There are some dynamics to serving as Ambassadors for Christ that, if we can truly plug into and wrap our faith around, we will be positioned by the Holy Spirit to be proponents and vessels of a Kingdom Revolution here in the earth.

One of the first things to understand about an Ambassador in the natural is that they are not responsible for covering their own expenses. The cost of housing, medical and dental insurance, transportation costs, food and other living expenses are not self-incurred. In other words, they don't have to pay for it. So if the Ambassador doesn't have to absorb the cost, who does? The Government. It's like serving in the Military. No soldier pays for their own lodging and uniforms and meals. The Government pays for it. Such is the way it works in the Kingdom (Government) of God. When you function as an Ambassador for Christ, The Government of God, The Kingdom, will take care of you. That's why Jesus said in the 6th chapter of the Gospel of Saint Matthew, "Seek ye first the Kingdom of God and His Righteousness, and all these things will be added unto you". When you become an Ambassador of The Kingdom, not just a church worker, not just a minister of the Gospel, your every need will be Supernaturally provided for you.

The next thing that we want to recognize in regards to the role of an ambassador is that their place of residence does not represent the territory or the property for which they are located. In other words, if you have an ambassador from the country of China, and they come to America, even though the Chinese Embassy is located in the United States, it does not represent American property. The Embassy of a foreign ambassador is the sovereign property of their own nation. Such is the case in the Kingdom of God. When you serve as an Ambassador for Christ, the territory for which you serve is now Kingdom Property. This is significant to understand. For the believer in Christ, the earth is not our home (Hebrews 13). Too many Christians are too comfortable in the earth realm. We are strictly here On Assignment. We're not here to "place roots". This is the mind-set of an Ambassador. And what we're supposed to be doing is Representing the Interests of the Country for which we represent. How well are we Representing the Kingdom of God? Are we all walking in Miracles, Signs and Wonders? (Hebrews 6) Are we all walking in and being regulated by the Love of God? (John 13) If not then we need to work on being better Ambassadors. But saints, this is the Calling for all of us; to serve and to function as Ambassadors for Christ.
