Ambassadors of Christ - Dylan Lombard + Caelan Cerfonteyn

The Rock - Paarl

God designed us to want live a life bigger than ourselves. That’s how He wired us. It’s easy to live as Christians on a Sunday, when we walk into a loving Church, with good coffee and happy faces greeting us. But the challenge comes when the storms of day to day life confront us. That is when we need to become ambassadors of Christ in our everyday lives. Paul said in 1 Corinthians 11:1, “follow my example, as I follow the example of Christ.” There are 3 things that make an ambassadors. The first is that ambassadors know why they are in a foreign land, they believe in living a life for Christ every day. People can see there is something different in them. Secondly, ambassadors know what they represent, they know whose they are and their purpose in Christ. And ambassadors are ready to make a difference. They live lives that make them approachable, they live lives looking for how they can reach more people and change situations. They live so that others may live.

Ambassadors mindsets are different to others, they have a royal mindset. How can we develop this royal mindset? 1. Before you catch a feeling you have a thought. Thoughts lead to emotions, Emotions lead to actions, and actions lead to an outcome. 2. Emotions are caught not taught. Read Nehemiah 8:10. Some of us don’t have emotions, emotions have us. Don’t catch what the world often put’s out. 3. Action shows off our faith. Its all about what God can do through us. We need to put our trust in Gods ability and not our stability. 4. The outcome is worth it. Expanding the kingdom is worth it, helping others is worth it. Living the blessed life is worth it!
