Live for Christ

“For the love of Christ constraineth us; because we thus judge, that if one died for all, then were all dead: 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 Corinthians 5:14-15(KJV)

If you don't believe God loves you, you will be ineffective as a Christian and unwilling to surrender all and live for Christ. This is why some Christians  are scared of getting serious with the things of God; which causes them to make statements like: “if I get serious with God maybe He will send me to one village to be a missionary.”

For some Christians, when they find that they are becoming committed and passionate to the things of God, they become uncomfortable and may even want to draw back, making statements like; “I don't want God to call me.” They forget that they are already called from the day they got saved.
The reason why some Christians find it difficult to live for God is because they are not confident in God's love for them. They have not come to understand that when they believed that Christ died for them, from that day, they died to themselves and henceforth should not live for themselves anymore but for Christ who died and rose again for them.

Therefore, if you are a Christian and you are a banker know that you have been called to reach those in the banking world for Christ. The banking world has become your mission field. Your field of study or expertise has become your platform for ministry. So whatever you do is an opportunity for ministry, and  you are responsible to reach all those within your field with the gospel.

Jesus said in Matthew 13:38 that the field is the world, and He has commanded us in Mark 16:15 saying, “… Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature.” This shows you that you have been called; it doesn't matter if you are a business man; you have been called to reach the world of business people. If you are a teacher or a lecturer you have been called to reach the academic world. If you are a student you've been called to reach your fellow students. So whatever you do as a child of God, know that you have been called into that field, so use it as your platform to reach others for Christ.

CONFESSION
I am crucified with Christ nevertheless I live, yet not I but Christ lives in me, and the life that I now live in the body, I live by the faith of the Son of God, who loved me and gave Himself for me.
