The Confident Ambassador

Therefore, Pray


Listen Later

Matthew 9:37-38 tells us:  Then he (Jesus) said to his disciples, “The harvest is abundant, but the workers are few.  Therefore, pray to the Lord of the harvest to send out workers into his harvest.”  Jesus is telling His disciples:  Look we have more mission field than we have missionaries.  We have more crops to work than we have workers.  So pray to God asking for more missionaries, for more workers

By the way, the harvest is more than just MORE.  Jesus said it is:  the harvest is abundant

Hudson Taylor, the great missionary to China said this about prayer for missions and evangelism:  You must go forward on your knees.

There can be no doubt that when we become a member of the family God, surrendering ourselves to Jesus and making Him Lord and Master of our lives, we are also surrendering to the call on our lives to be ambassadors for Jesus. We are called to be missionaries spreading the Gospel message to the lost world around us.

Charles Spurgeon put it like this:  Every Christian is either a missionary or an impostor.

One of the most important things we need to pray about as Confident Ambassadors is that there would be MORE Confident Ambassadors.
