Directive #32
August 18, 2014
SCRIPTURE: 2 Corinthians 5:20 (New Living Translation)
“So we are Christ’s ambassadors; God is making his appeal through us. We speak for Christ when we plead, “Come back to God!”
INTERPRETATION:
“Christ’s ambassadors” means we are personal representatives for Jesus Christ, compelling and sharing the gospel so a lost and dying world can be reconciled to God.
OTHER SCRIPTURES: (New Living Translation)
Acts 4:13 “The members of the council were amazed when they saw the boldness of Peter and John…”
Acts 4:29 “…great boldness in preaching your word.”
Acts 4:31 “After prayer…filled with the Holy Spirit. Then they preached the word of God with boldness.”
Prayer + Holy Spirit + Bold Preaching = Harvest of Souls
PRAYER POINTS
1. PRAY for opportunities (open doors) to share one’s faith.
2. PRAY for divine appointments (God places) to represent Christ.
