READ YOUR RHAPSODY OF REALITIES DAILY DEVOTIONAL. YOU'RE HIS VOICE TO YOUR WORLD - PASTOR CHRIS OYAKHILOME. . MONDAY, JULY 25TH, 2016
Go ye therefore,
and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the
Son, and of the Holy Ghost: Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I
have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you always, even unto the end of the
world. Amen (Matthew 28:19-20).
Our opening
scripture is the Lord’s instruction to everyone who has received Christ; you’re
to take the message of salvation to your world. You’re to teach those in your
world how to live and walk in righteousness; you’re to teach all nations. What
does He mean by “teach all nations?” Though synonymously used, it’s important
to note that there’s a difference between nations and countries; countries have
borders, but nations don’t.
“Nations” in our
theme scripture doesn’t mean countries. It derives from the Greek word
“Ethnos,” which refers to different groups of people, sharing a common
interest. It’s our job to take the Gospel to every man’s world: to the
different groups (ethnos) to which we belong. They may be in the world of
politicians, doctors, artisans, musicians, academicians, lawyers, police or the
armed forces; you’re God’s voice to your world.
You’re a
missionary, an oracle of God, commissioned to help the unconverted in your
world receive salvation, and teach them the Word. You’re to show them the path
of life, for you’re the light of the world. God has made you a man or woman of
influence in your world; use your influence for Him. Make impact with the
Gospel. Let more people in your world come to the knowledge of Christ through
you. Be bold to preach and teach the Gospel, for you’re His voice to your
world.
PRAYER:
Thanks be unto God, who has made me an able minister of the Gospel, to impact my world with the knowledge of Christ. I make full proof of my ministry, as a preacher and teacher of righteousness, proclaiming liberty to the oppressed, and bringing deliverance and the light of Christ to those in bondage, by the power of the Holy Spirit, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.

Cor.5:18-19(KJV)And all things [are] of God, who hath reconciled us to himself
by Jesus Christ, and hath given to us the ministry of reconciliation; 19 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.
