II Corinthians 5:20 NKJV
Now then, we are ambassadors for Christ, as though God were pleading through us: we implore you on Christ’s behalf, be reconciled to God.
Beloved,
We have looked at importance of turning all that you are and have into a platform for Jesus. Today, let’s consider some practical steps to take to do so. How to convert your place to a platform for Jesus!
- Through worship. We were created for His pleasure. Live a life of worship, that is, let worship become your lifestyle. Also, play worship songs around your space: in your office, in your car, in your home. As you do this, you are setting the atmosphere for divinity to meet with humanity.
- Through spiritual warfare, Luke 11:21-22. The devil is not joking, neither should you. Pray over your territory. Determine in the place of prayer how it must be in your environment.
- Know that you are empowered to use your platform.
- Like Peter and John in Acts 3:6, utilize what you have. You have your physical attributes such as your hands, your voice. You have spiritual arsenals such as calling, gifts, knowledge, anointing. Use all these to further God’s program on earth. Use your skills and superior insight you have on specific subject matters, Genesis 41:14-16. Use your influence.
- Deploy kingdom strategies to convert your your place to a platform. You can do this by inviting people to your house like Cornelius did in Acts 10. You can strike up a conversation with people like Jesus did with the Samaritan woman in John 4:7-26. Let the conversation go in the direction of who God is to you and what He has done for you. You should also display your beliefs; ook for creative ways to let people know what you believe. Also, display superior wisdom in all your dealings, Ephesians 3:10 (NLT). Let it be apparent to all that you have a different spirit.
I commend you to God and to the word of His grace.
I call you blessed. I call you NATIONS.
