CHRIST AMBASSADOR
DOING A GREAT WORK
2013
THE JUST SHALL LIVE BY FAITH
2014
IF ANY MAN BE IN CHRIST
A true Ambassador Of Christ
must be in Christ
We can only do a great work
to the extent that we are
engrafted in Christ
Only in Christ can we be made just.
Only in Him can we live by faith and
do exploits
There are many in
Church but not in
Christ
In many climes,
Christianity is one
mile long but one
foot deep.
There is a huge disparity between the
profession and the practice of Faith
It’s high time we re-examined the very
foundation of our Faith – Are we in Christ?
“Therefore if any
man be in Christ,
he is a new
creature: old
things are passed
away; behold, all
things are become
new.” (KJV)
“…and what we see
is that anyone united
with the Messiah gets
a fresh start, is
created new. The old
life is gone; a new life
burgeons!” (Mssg)
2 Cor 5:17
“When someone becomes a
Christian, he becomes a brand
new person inside. He is not
the same anymore. A new life
has begun!” (LB)
2 Cor 5:17
“Therefore if any person is [ingrafted] in Christ
(the Messiah) he is a new creation (a new
creature altogether); the old [previous moral and
spiritual condition] has passed away. Behold,
the fresh and new has come!” (AMP)
A recreated
A brand NEW sprit. New
Person Inside person, not a
better person
The old
The OLD Has nature is
Passed Away gone with its
bad practices
A NEW
Life Has
Come
A complete turnaround
with New values,
habits, perspectives…
2 Pt 1:1-4
His Redemption &
Forgiveness (Col 1:13,14)
His Power
(Eph 3:10)
His Presence
(Col 3:2)
His Provision
(2Pt 1:3)
In Christ we have Victory over…
Power of the enemy
(Col 2:14, 15)
Sickness & disease
(I Pt 2; 24)
Poverty (2 Cor 8:9)
Sin (Rom 6:14; 8:2)
We became
partakers of His
divine nature
2 Pt 1:4
And beneficiaries
of the ministry &
power of the Holy
Spirit
Any MAN
is in
CHRIST
He Is A
Brand
New
Person
Inside
"Most assuredly, I say
to you, unless one is
born again, he cannot
see the kingdom of
God." “That which is
born of the flesh is
flesh; and that which is
born of the Spirit is
spirit”. John 3:3,6 NKJV
“But as many as
received him, to them
gave he power to
become the sons of
God, even to them that
believe on his name:
Which were born, not
of blood, nor of the
will of the flesh, nor of
the will of man, but of
God.” John 1:12-13(KJV)
“And that he died for
all, that they which live
should not henceforth
live unto themselves,
but unto him which
died for them, and rose
again.” 2 Cor 5:15
“Be In Christ,” means to
be united with Christ by
faith; or to be in Him as
the branch is in the vinethat is, so united to the
vine, or so in it, as to
derive ALL its
nourishment and support
from it, and to be
sustained entirely by it.”
John 15:2
The New Life brings about new
conversations and outward reforms
It creates new impression
concerning Self, GOD, Man,
Environment, Time & Eternity
This experience deals with 3 forces of human
character: DESIRE – thoughts & wishes Jas 1:4;
WILL – the power of choosing & determining
Jer 10:23; HABIT – regular tendency & practice
Rm 12:2
RENEW
YOUR
MIND
“…I beg you, my brothers, as an act
of intelligent worship, to give him
your bodies, as a living sacrifice,
Rom 12:1-2 consecrated to him and acceptable
(J.B.Phillips) by him.
Don’t let the world around you squeeze you into its
own mould, but let God re-mould your minds from
within, so that you may prove in practice that the
plan of God for you is good, meets all his demands
and moves towards the goal of true maturity.”
WALK
IN THE
SPIRIT
“This I say then, Walk in the
Spirit, and ye shall not fulfil
the lust of the flesh.” Gal 5:16
Let the New Life work its way out in
your conduct in the Family (Gen 18:1819), Workplace (Tit 2:7-12), and the
society (Tit 3:1-2)
PREACH
THE
GOSPEL
In the FGBMFI, we have the
responsibility of calling dead
men to life.
“And all things are of God, who hath reconciled us
to himself by Jesus Christ, and hath given to us the
ministry of reconciliation… and hath committed
unto us the word of reconciliation 2 Cor 5:18,19
PASSION FOR & COMMITMENT TO
EVANGELISM ARE PROOFS OF A
REGENERATED SPIRIT
It is a tragedy for the
New Life not to manifest
itself in a transformed
life lived in submission
to the Spirit of God
Such men should not
be found in our
Fellowship
By far the greatest
tragedy is to have men
who are not born again
in our Fellowship!
“They will maintain a facade of “religion”, but
their conduct will deny its validity. You must
keep clear of people like this.”
2 Tim 3:5 (J.B.Phillips)
Your answer
explains your life –
spirit-led or fleshly
dominated & where
you’ll spend eternity
– heaven or hell
The New Birth is a basic qualification for
membership of our Fellowship
“That if you confess with your
mouth, "Jesus is Lord," and believe
in your heart that God raised him
from the dead, you will be saved.
For it is with your heart that you
believe and are justified, and it is
1. Acknowledge
with your mouth that you confess your sin Rm 3:23
and are saved.”
4. Believe Jesus died for
your sin Jn 3:16
5. Receive Jesus into your heart
Jn 1:11-12
2. Confess it
Rm 3:23
3. Repent of it
Lk 13:3
