Ambassadors for Christ

Our sole purpose on this earth is to do what God has assigned us



Read 2 Corinthians 5:19-20

Look at how active God is in our world:

Ready to judge the world – God came to Noah (God worked through Noah)

Ready to deliver the children of Israel – God came to Moses (God worked through Moses)

Ready to redeem a lost world through His son – God gave Jesus 12 disciples


Read Amos 3:7

God wants to involve you in His work. When He is ready He will show you where he wants you to join Him in His work.

God may spend years developing you and your relationship with Him before you are called or get your first assignment from Him.

Be patient

Jesus didn’t start His ministry until He was 33 years old!!! Even Jesus waited on God, His Father.

We all think we are strong enough for anything and want God to use us now now now!! But let’s look at what happened to Peter:


Luke 22:33-34

Peter, himself, really thought he was ready. Jesus knew he was not yet strong enough. He was still growing Peter’s belief.

Just because we are waiting, does not mean we are idle. As you obey, God is working in you, shaping your character and attitude, wants and desires.

Don’t use human standards to measure the importance of an assignment from God. His assignments are always important.
