Ministers Of Reconciliation – Rhapsody Of Realities TeeVo Devotional July 11th

(You’re An Ambassador Of The Message Of Reconciliation)

TO THE BIBLE: 2 CORINTHIANS 5:19 KJV
“To wit, that God was in Christ, reconciling the world unto himself, not imputing their trespasses unto them; and hath committed unto us the word of reconciliation.”

LET’S TALK
Human nature often accepts messages of condemnation because deep down, people are aware of their imperfections.

For example, when someone preaches and says, “We’re all sinners; there’s no one righteous except God,” a lot of people immediately agree, saying, “Yes, that’s true.”

Because of this, some folks feel uneasy when they hear others talk excitedly about the soon return of the Lord. They’re unsure about their salvation. Instead of being full of joy and confidence, they live in doubt and uncertainty.

But that’s not God’s plan for you! Look at what the Apostle Paul said in 2 Corinthians 5:19 KJV: “To wit, that God was in Christ, reconciling the world unto himself, not imputing their trespasses unto them; and hath committed unto us the word of reconciliation.”

Notice that Paul didn’t say God has given us the ministry of condemnation. No! He gave us the ministry of reconciliation.

This ministry declares that God was in Christ, carrying out His work of reconciling the world to Himself—not counting people’s sins against them. Instead, He placed the sin of the whole world on Jesus.

When Jesus died, He took our place. He bore our sins. That means in the mind of justice, we all died in Him. The penalty has been paid in full! That’s why God isn’t holding people’s sins against them anymore.

So when the devil tries to deceive you—when he stirs up thoughts of guilt or condemnation—stand your ground.

Remind yourself and declare boldly, “God has reconciled the world to Himself through Christ. He’s not counting my sins against me. I believe in Jesus, and therefore, I am no longer condemned. I’ve been made the righteousness of God in Christ!”

The Bible says in 2 Corinthians 5:21, “For he hath made him to be sin for us, who knew no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of God in him.”

That’s the message God wants everyone to hear. Righteousness has been made available in Christ Jesus!

Dear Father, thank you for the privilege to be the bearer of your message of reconciliation. As an ambassador of the Kingdom, I spread faith, hope and love, boldly declaring the Word of salvation that catapults sinners from the domain of darkness into the glorious liberty of the sons of God, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.
