07/04/2023 – “… Don’t be defined by your circumstance. You might have problems, but you are not a problem person. You’re a child of the most high God…” // “What have you seen as a hindrance or obstacle in fully doing God’s will? These are only chains. Follow Paul’s example, and do God’s will anyway.”

The Chained Ambassador

Tuesday, July 4, 2023

In Ephesians, Paul calls himself, “an ambassador in chains.” There were chains on his hands even as he wrote or dictated. But notice, he doesn’t call himself an ambassador of chains. He doesn’t even call himself a chained ambassador. Someone who is chained is defined by their limitations, they can’t move. But an ambassador is someone on the move, sent on a mission. Paul isn’t defined by his situation. He might be in chains, but he’s not of them. He’s an ambassador for God no matter what. He’s going to share the gospel and fulfill the mission. Learn from Paul. Don’t be defined by your circumstance. You might have problems, but you’re not a problem person. You’re a child of the Most High. You’re free, unlimited. God is un-limiting you. Forget the chains. You’re an ambassador. Nothing can stop you from doing God’s will and fulfilling your calling, no problem, no person, no trouble, no situation, no prison, nothing. You can say like Paul, “I can do all things through Messiah who strengthens me.” I’m an ambassador who happens to have some chains.

From Message #475 – Ambassador In Chains 
Scripture: Philippians 4:13

TODAY’S MISSION – What have you seen as a hindrance or obstacle in you fully doing God’s will? These are only chains. Follow Paul’s example, and do God’s will anyway.
