                                                        GOD’S ULTIMATE SOLUTIONS

     You don’t really have to be an economist to diagnose the present situation of the world, it’s quite obvious to see that the world is sick and in need of urgent healing, and the solution, well the solution is not in the hand of mortal men ,it is in the hand of God and God has handed the solutions key to the faithful followers of Christ which He calls His people according to 2Chronicles 7.12-14 “And the LORD appeared to Solomon by night, and said unto him, I have heard thy prayer, and have chosen this place to myself for an house of sacrifice. If I shut up heaven that there be no rain, or if I command the locusts to devour the land, or if I send pestilence among my people; If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land”
      
       Some people are the problem of the world and others are the key to the solution of that problem, at the end of this series, you’ll be able to find out who are the problem and the solution and if you discover yourself to be one of the problem, you will discover the way to change your destiny, so that you might be among the solution instead of being the problem of the world.
       God is saying here, if my people could only pray and seek my face… I will heal their land. Now have you discover how you can be the solution instead of the problem of the world. But first, let me ask you this question; are you that people of God? Can God rely on you? Are you ready to stand on the gap?  God said “And I sought for a man among them, that should make up the hedge, and stand in the gap before me for the land, that I should not destroy it: but I found none” (Ezekiel 22:30)
      
      Now let’s check who are the people of God

1.    Those who obeys His word (Jeremiah 7:23)
2.    Those who believes in Him (John 1:12)
3.    Those who pledged in their heart to seek God (Jeremiah 30:21-22)

       If my people who are called by my name…God is proud to be associated with you, are you proud to be His people?
       God is not only calling you to be His Children but He’s also calling you to be His mouthpiece and ambassador
       The ambassadors are the people called to represent their country in a foreign land
       The Christ ambassadors are also called to promote and represent His interest here on earth. (Romans 1:5-6, 10: 14-15)
       The ambassadors live in foreign land on a diplomatic mission with their diplomatic passport which they will never exchange for nationality of any nation as long as they remain the ambassador. Beloved, remember that you are in the world, but you are not of the world…
       The ambassador cares for the citizens of the kingdom, do you care for your brothers and sisters enough to fast and pray for them?
       The ambassador issues out visas to visit his country. How committed are you to the end-time mission? Are you issuing out visas by preaching the gospel of Jesus Christ to all nation (Matthew 28:19-20; Romans 10:13-15)
       
      Are you living the life worthy of emulation, can God rely on you,
       Are you representing Christ in your behavior, your conversations your deed like Joseph in Egypt, Daniel, Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego in Babylon
       Can God rely on you; can He call you His people?
        
      
         WHAT IS AN EMBASSY?

A place where nation’s business is taking place
Christ Kingdom embassy should be a place where God’s business takes place
(Matthew 21:13)
 An embassy is designed to be a meeting place for the citizens and other people
 in need of consular services, like visas, renewal of passport etc.
Likewise church is designed to be a meeting place for God’s children (Hebrew 10; 25)

A place where spiritual services should be carried out, where visas of heaven
are constantly issued as we give people the opportunity to make a decision to
accept Christ constantly in our church services.

An embassy is designed to portray the image of the represented nation, for example,
 if you have not been to a country before, your visit to their embassy should give you a
Picture of that country (1 Corinthians 15:49)

Christ kingdom embassy should be a place where visas to God’s kingdom is
 being constantly issued, a place where, love, joy peace and unity abides
A visit to the church should show people a glimpse of heaven.

Our homes, work and business also should be our Christ embassy where Christ is being well represented, the kingdom of God should be reflected in our day to day lives


THE POSITION AND DUTIES OF AN AMBASSADOR
The ambassador knows the president; there is no true Christ ambassador who has
not had an encounter with God
An ambassador communicates constantly with the president. Every Christ
ambassador should communicate constantly with God in prayer
An ambassador constantly receives instruction and guidance from the president.
Every child of God should receive constant instruction from Him though His
spoken and written word (the Bible)
    Pro 3:6 In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths.  Be not wise in thine own eyes: fear the LORD, and depart from evil. It shall be health to thy navel, and marrow to thy bones

THE REWARD OF THE AMBASSADOR (Mark 10:29-30)
 
The Christ ambassador enjoys divine peace even in the midst of trouble.
These things I have spoken unto you, that in me ye might have peace. In the
world ye shall have tribulation: but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world.
(John 16:33)
The needs of the ambassadors are constantly met. His salary doesn’t come from his
host nation but from his country of origin. If you are Christ ambassador, though
there is  famine or crises in the world, you’ll be  taken care of because your up
keeping is not determined by the government of this world, the Lord is your
Shepherd and you will lack no good thing.
There is no crisis in heaven, so also His ambassadors will not feel crises

The ambassador enjoys all round protection.
In time of problems or war in the host nation, the host nation is bound to
offer protections and coverage to the ambassador and his family. In addition
to that , his home nation will also send special forces to protect him. And when
they went from nation to nation, and from one kingdom to another people;
He suffered no man to do them wrong: yea, he reproved kings for their sakes,
Saying, Touch not mine anointed, and do my prophets no harm.
(1Chroniclesn 16:20-22)
My friends, you can equally enjoy God’s richest blessings and above all be
 a determinant solution to the problem of the world by taking your stand for
Jesus, give your life to Him as you make best decision of your lifetime by asking
 Jesus to come into your life, forgives you of all your sins and gives you a brand new
 life, I took mine some years ago and my life never remain the same, you too can
 take it now, He’s waiting for you right now, what are you waiting for? Jesus said “Behold,
 I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hears my voice, and opens the door, I will come
in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me.” (Revelation 3:20)
