2. REVIEW 2013 2012 CHRIST AMBASSADOR DOING A GREAT WORK THE JUST SHALL LIVE BY FAITH 2014 IF ANY MAN BE IN CHRIST

3. 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

4. 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?

5. “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

6. “When someone becomes a Christian, he becomes a brand new person inside. He is not the same anymore. A new life has begun!” (LB) “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) 2 Cor 5:17

7. A brand NEW Person Inside The OLD Has Passed Away A NEW Life Has Come A recreated sprit. New person, not a better person The old nature is gone with its bad practices A complete turnaround with New values, habits, perspectives …

8. His Presence (Col 3:2) His Power (Eph 3:10) His Provision (2Pt 1:3) His Redemption & Forgiveness (Col 1:13,14) 2 Pt 1:1-4

9. 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)

10. We became partakers of His divine nature 2 Pt 1:4 And beneficiaries of the ministry & power of the Holy Spirit

11. Any MAN is in CHRIST He Is A Brand New Person Inside

12. “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) "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

13. “Be In Christ,” means to be united with Christ by faith; or to be in Him as the branch is in the vine- that 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 “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

14. The New Life brings about new conversations and outward reforms 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 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 It creates new impression concerning Self, GOD, Man, Environment, Time & Eternity

15. 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.” “…I beg you, my brothers, as an act of intelligent worship, to give him your bodies, as a living sacrifice, consecrated to him and acceptable by him. Rom 12:1-2 (J.B.Phillips) Rom 12:1-2 (J.B.Phillips) RENEW YOUR MIND RENEW YOUR MIND

16. Let the New Life work its way out in your conduct in the Family (Gen 18:18- 19), Workplace (Tit 2:7-12), and the society (Tit 3:1-2) “This I say then, Walk in the Spirit, and ye shall not fulfil the lust of the flesh.” Gal 5:16 WALK IN THE SPIRIT WALK IN THE SPIRIT

17. “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 In the FGBMFI, we have the responsibility of calling dead men to life. PASSION FOR & COMMITMENT TO EVANGELISM ARE PROOFS OF A REGENERATED SPIRIT PREACH THE GOSPEL PREACH THE GOSPEL

18. 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 “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) “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) By far the greatest tragedy is to have men who are not born again in our Fellowship!

19. 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

20. “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 with your mouth that you confess and are saved.” 1. Acknowledge your sin Rm 3:23 3. Repent of it Lk 13:3 3.
