Job Title
Ambassadors for Christ, ministers of reconciliation and faithful stewards of the mysteries of God.
Job summary
A true vocation, as per the original meaning of the word: a direct calling or invitation ( from the Greek word klēsis - an invitation (figuratively): - calling). God has called all believers to perform this job.
Main duty is to represent our great God and Saviour Jesus Christ in holding forth the word of life, the gospel of salvation in accordance with the will of God, that all men would be saved and come unto a knowledge of the truth.
Please note: This job is according to God's high calling and job description. Applicants must set aside any belief that they are called to a particular ministry role, because of their previous experience, skills, qualifications, and preferences in life.
Qualifications
This position is open to all who have entrusted their eternal future to Christ Jesus, having heard and believed that he died for our sins, was buried and raised again for our justification. Without this essential qualification, it is impossible to please or serve God.
Workers (comm)union
Not a one-person endeavour but humbly, yet confidently, working alongside likeminded labourers together as part of the church, the body of Christ, with Christ as our head.
A bond of perfection, underpinned by sincerity and truth, is to be maintained at all times among fellow workers by putting on charity, edifying one another in psalms, hymns and spiritual songs, and comforting one another with words from the bible regarding the shared and certain hope of eternal life in Christ.
Reporting
Your reporting line is directly to the creator of heaven and earth, taking instructing from his written word which you will be required to study, as a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.
By prayer and supplication you will be expected to make you requests known to God, and to express your thanks in everything. Lines of communication and access are always open, and you will learn how to pray in accordance with God’s will.
Tools & Training
The job involves battle, not with flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places. You will therefore be required to put on the spiritual armour of God, as provided through his word which, in itself, is sharper than any two-edged sword.
Through the scriptures, you will become throughly furnished unto all good works, as required for the job.
As a result of study and allowing the word to work effectually in you, you will increase in knowledge, wisdom and spiritual understanding. Most importantly, your love for God, your fellow workers and all men will increase. As your desire grows to walk according to what you learn, your mind will be transformed, to serve God and benefit others.
Responsibilities
The following is a high-level list (for more details, consult the instructions and examples given in the bible for the church which is Christ’s body). NB: It will be God that works in you, both to will and to do of his good pleasure – it will be ‘not I, but Christ that dwells in me’ – your life is not your own, you are bought with a price.
Place and hours of work
This is not a 9-5pm job, but a complete life calling and commitment to perform the work that we are called to, whenever and wherever we find ourselves, as led by the Spirit of God, for his purpose.
Rewards & Benefits
This vocation has no associated monetary income, so ambassadors will be expected to work to provide for themselves and their families, to be able to pay for the necessities of living.
However, God is able to make all grace abound toward you; that ye, always having all sufficiency in all things, may abound to every good work: He is able to minister bread for your food and increase the fruits of your righteousness. You cannot be in this job for money. You are instructed to be content with food and raiment.
Persecution is to be expected if you perform the job well. However, you will be strengthened with joy in the inner man as you look not at the things which are temporal, but at the things which are eternal. The light affliction, which is but for a moment, worketh for us a far more exceeding and eternal weight of glory. That’s a reward worth working for.
The position comes with guaranteed (eternal) life assurance, which God, that cannot lie, promised before the world began.
How to apply
No application needed. As a believer in the gospel of Christ, you are already called to this great role and are encouraged to start work today, walking circumspectly, not as fools, but as wise, redeeming the time, because the days are evil and understanding what the will of the Lord is.
