Topic: An Ambassador
Text: II Corinthians 5:17-20

You are Christ’s ambassador. As an envoy or representative of the Most High God you are empowered to uphold the sovereignty of the Holy Nation. Being a spiritual ambassador gives you certain privilege and rights. With the name of Jesus, you have certain immunities. To name of the Lord is a strong tower; the righteous runs into it and is saved. To win any battle in life, the weapon you need is Jesus Christ. Philippians 2:10, “That at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of thing in heaven and things in earth, and things under the earth.” The knees to bow include those of disease, barrenness, death and Goliath. The statement of David also meant that he was the representative of the Lord. Since God could not come down to fight, he sent David as his representative. In 2 Corinthians 5:20, the Bible says we are Christ’s Ambassadors. An Ambassador is a representative of the one who sent him. David faced Goliath as Christ’s Ambassador. Every Divine champion knows that he is an Ambassador of Christ. This means, according to 2 Corinthians 5:20, once you have seen a Divine champion, you have seen Christ. It means that when a Divine champion acts, it is Christ acting. When a Divine champion speaks, it is Christ speaking. This is why Paul called us the epistle of Christ. When people look at us, they want to see Christ in us. A Divine champion will always make sure that the Name of Jesus Christ is not tarnished. Proverbs 22:1 says: “A good name is rather to be chosen than great riches, and loving favour rather than silver and gold.” A Divine champion knows that the enemy he must fight and defeat is himself. This is a very strong and bloody battle, which you must win. The Bible says, in Hebrews 12:4, “Ye have not yet resisted unto blood, striving against sin.” The enemy within is more dangerous than Goliath. David was knocked down when he saw a woman having ser bath. May be your enemy within is immorality. It may be gluttony or talking too much, or that you sleep too much. Whatever the enemy within may be, you will not become a Divine champion until you have defeated it. Fortunately, you can come against every enemy in the name of Jesus Christ. All you need to do is to locate the enemy and fight him ruthlessly.
