Rhapsody of Realities Wednesday 25 June 2025 Devotional Message By Pastor Chris Oyakhilome (Christ Embassy)
TOPIC: You’re a Reconciler
It was God [personally present] in Christ, reconciling and restoring the world to favor with Himself, not counting up and holding against [men] their trespasses [but cancelling them], and committing to us the message of reconciliation (of the restoration to favor) (2 Corinthians 5:19 AMPC).
In Luke 19:10, the Lord Jesus said, “For the Son of man is come to seek and to save that which was lost.” He accomplished this mission and returned to heaven, but He entrusted us with the same responsibility. Just as the Father sent Him, He also sent us: “…as my Father hath sent me, even so send I you” (John 20:21). Now, we’re the ones to seek and save the lost. This is our calling; we’re soul winners, reconciling men to God.
In your city, think like this: “The son of man has come to seek and to save those who are lost.” Everywhere you go, you arrive with this purpose. Whether on a bus, in an airplane, or in a marketplace, you’re there to seek and save the lost—to bring salvation to someone who needs it. This is your mission.
In 2 Corinthians 5:19, the Scripture says, “To wit, that God was in Christ, reconciling the world unto himself, not imputing their trespasses unto them; and hath committed unto us the word of reconciliation.” This is powerful! God, the Chief Reconciler, was in Christ reconciling the world to Himself. But He continues this work through you. Today, God is in you, reconciling the world to Himself.
And like Him, we don’t count people’s trespasses against them. We’re imitators of God; we copy Him as well-beloved children imitate their father (Ephesians 5:1- 2). Furthermore, He has committed to us the word or message of reconciliation. Therefore, keep proclaiming the Good News of salvation, bringing men and women out of darkness into the glorious liberty of the children of God. Hallelujah!
PRAYER: Dear Father, thank you for entrusting me with the ministry of reconciliation; I walk in this calling, seeking and saving the lost, just as the Lord Jesus did. I walk in love and refuse to count offences against others. I am your vessel, bringing your message of reconciliation to all I encounter, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.
