Ambassadors
for Christ
by Chris Machamer
An ambassador is an accredited diplomat
sent by a country as its official representative
to another country. Child of God, we are to
be ambassadors for Christ, representatives for
Him, in this last hour. Jesus said that His disciples
are not of this world. I have given them
thy word; and the world hath hated them,
because they are not of the world, even as I
am not of the world (John 17:14).
Like the heroes of the faith mentioned in
Hebrews 11, children of God are to be pilgrims
and strangers on this Earth and foreigners
in this world. They are to seek a city
whose builder and maker is God, and Heaven
is their home. But now they desire a better
country, that is, an heavenly: wherefore
God is not ashamed to be called their
God: for he hath prepared for them a city
(Hebrews 11:16).
Children of God
have a divine responsibility
to be ambassadors for Christ and represent
Jesus to souls in this world. Representing
Christ is the greatest business opportunity
in the world, and our divine mission is to
win the lost at any cost. There is nothing
more precious and valuable than souls. Jesus
declared one soul is worth more than all the
wealth of this world. For what shall it profit
a man, if he shall gain the whole world,
and lose his own soul? Or what shall a
man give in exchange for his soul (Mark
8:36,37)?
Your Divine Responsibility
There are many Christians today who don’t
realize the divine responsibility they have, and

so everyone I was with at
the time would have to take the
stairs. If there were no stairs,
I would have to wait until the
elevator was completely empty
before I could get on.
Through this Jesus ministry, I found
out it was the devil’s bondage and that
I didn’t have to live with it. The Bible tells us
that Jesus came to set the captives
free; and through Rev. Angley’s
sermons and books, I found
deliverance.
I started using the Word of
God to ward off that fear, and
there are so many scriptures
on fear. The Word of God
broke my bondage of fear; and
now, I am free to ride in elevators
or do whatever I want to.
Praise God! The truth set me free.
