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 privileges and rights. With the name of Jesus, you
have certain immunities. The 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 in
Jesus Christ. Philippians 2:10 says, “That at the name of Jesus every knee should
bow, of those in heaven, and of those on earth, and of those 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 the Name of Jesus
Christ is not tarnished. Proverbs 22:1 says: “A good name is to chosen rather
than great riches, loving favor 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, “You have not yet resisted to bloodshed, striving against sin.” The enemy
within is more dangerous than Goliath. David was knocked down when he saw a
woman having her 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.
MEMORIZE:
PROVERBS 22:1 -A good name is to chosen rather than great riches, loving favor
rather than silver and gold.
