TOPIC: He Reaches The World Of Men Through Men (Rhapsody of Realities 20 March 2024)
So he, trembling and astonished, said, ”Lord, what do You want me to do?” Then the Lord told him, “Arise and go into the city, and you will be told what you must do” (Acts 9:6 NKJV).
Rhapsody Of Realities For Today’s MESSAGE:
The Bible tells the story of Peter and Cornelius in Acts 10. Cornelius, a Roman centurion, was a devout and God-fearing man who regularly gave alms to people experiencing poverty, yet he wasn’t saved. In a vision, an angel appeared to him, instructing him to send for Peter, who would tell him the words whereby he and all his household would be saved.
Someone might ask, “Why didn’t the angel directly instruct Cornelius on what he needed to do for salvation? Why the elaborate process of summoning and persuading Peter?” God sent men to bear His message of salvation, not angels. His policy is to use men to save men.

This principle is exemplified in that God Himself became a man to bring salvation to us. He still needed to use the Apostle Peter to lead Cornelius and his household to salvation. His Gospel is committed to men and to be preached by men. And by men, we mean men and women alike.
In 1 Timothy 1:11, Paul said, “According to the glorious gospel of the blessed God, which was committed to my trust.” The Gospel has been committed to your trust, not to the trust of angels. So, take advantage of His mandate and be a light in your world and the nations. Enlighten and illuminate the hearts of men and women with the saving truth and transforming realities of the Gospel.
It’s a noble responsibility for us to carry the message of salvation to the farthest corners of the earth. So rejoice in this privilege and let it become the focal point of your life’s purpose. You’ve been granted the opportunity to serve in the Gospel, proclaim His righteousness, and establish His Kingdom on earth and in the hearts of people. Nothing could be more gratifying!
CONFESSION
I’m the light of the world and the bearer of Christ’s glorious Gospel, which leads men into salvation. Through me, men are translated from darkness to light and from the power of Satan to God as I fulfil my ministry as an ambassador of Christ and of the Gospel, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.

Mark 16:15-16: And he said unto them, Go ye into all the world, and preach the Gospel to every creature. 16 He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved; but he that believeth not shall be damned.
