Sunday Daily Devotional By Pastor David Okoye (Ambassadors Diet 10th July, 2016) - The Power Of God
The ministry of reconciliation is both the highest honor and calling a man can have.
The Apostle Paul must have understood this, which is why he could say “I am not ashamed of the Gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to everyone that believeth…” Romans 1:16.

The AMP rendering tells us what salvation really is, “…for it is God's working power unto salvation [for deliverance from eternal death] to everyone who believes with a personal trust and a confident surrender and firm reliance…”
The Gospel is the greatest gift given to humanity and truly the greatest gift one can offer another. And the good news is that every one of God's children has been given the ministry of reconciliation.
Meaning that the only qualification one needs to be a minister in this capacity is to be born-again.
2 Corinthians 5:18 tells us unambiguously “and all things are of God who hath reconciled us to Himself by Jesus Christ and hath given to us the ministry of reconciliation.” In every man lies the inner cry for fulfillment and purpose.
You as the new creation need to realize, that true fulfillment can only ever be found in Christ.
Until a man comes to know the Lord Jesus and His Love that takes away the burden and wage of sin, he can never really know true fulfillment in spite of his pedigree or physical accomplishment. This means that the Gospel we carry which is the power of God is for every man.
DECLARATION
I am soul winner; I am relentless and diligent in soul winning. I am meeting God's mandate as I win souls.
