๐Ÿ“–.....So he, trembling and astonished, said, ''Lord, what do You want me to do?" Then the Lord said to him, "Arise and go into the city, and you will be told what you must do" (Acts 9:6 NKJV)

The Bible tells us 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 the poor, yet he wasn’t saved. 

In a vision, an angel appeared to him, instructing him to send for Peter who shall tell him words, whereby he and all his household shall 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?”* It’s because 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 the fact that God Himself became a man to bring salvation to us. 

That’s why 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 to 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, to proclaim His righteousness and to establish His Kingdom on earth and in the hearts of people. Nothing could be more gratifying!

2 Corinthians 5:18-19 And all things are of God, who hath reconciled us to himself by Jesus Christ, and hath given to us the ministry of reconciliation; 
19 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.

*Rhapsody Of Realities TeeVo*

*ONLY ONE FAITH!*

_(Believe This: Jesus Christ Gave His Life For Everybody)_

*TO THE BIBLE:*
*Ephesians 4:4-6 ESV*
_“There is one body and one Spirit—just as you were called to the one hope that belongs to your call—one Lord, one faith, one baptism, one God and Father of all, who is over all and through all and in all.”_

*LET’S TALK*

Consider this: Jesus Christ is the only One sent to save humanity. While religious leaders engaged in wars, killing and forcing people to accept their beliefs, Jesus took a different path. 

He sacrificed His own life for all. Think about that! Who would you think loves you? The one who punished and killed others for not listening to him or the one who gave His life for them so they could live? Jesus gave His life in your place for you to know that you’re valuable to God.

Maybe you’re reading this and you’ve never been born again; you must understand this: Salvation comes through no other name or means except by Jesus Christ: *“Nor is there salvation in any other, for there is no other name under heaven given among men by which we must be saved”* (Acts 4:12). 

Since there’s no salvation in any other, there couldn’t be *“other faiths”* like some people think.

We read it in our opening verse; there’s *“one Lord, one faith, one baptism, one God and Father of all….”* And 1 Corinthians 8:6 says, *“…For us there is one God, the Father, of whom are all things, and we for Him; and one Lord Jesus Christ, through whom are all things, and through whom we live.*” 

In John 14:6, Jesus was unequivocal when He said, *“…I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me.”* He used the definite article *“the”;* He didn’t say, *“I’m a way”* or *“one of the ways.”*

This is why we preach the Gospel; it’s so that everybody may know that Jesus gave His life for them; mankind is no longer lost. 

Now they can hear it, be saved, and be prepared for the soon return of the Lord, Jesus Christ. And we must keep at it until He comes!

*GO DEEPER*

Acts 4:12 NIV; Acts 13:38-39; John 15:13

*PRAY*

_Dear Father, thank you for the divine access you’ve granted us through our Lord Jesus Christ. As we travail in the spirit for lost souls all around the world, may they be receptive to salvation today. Let the light of the glorious Gospel of Christ shine in their hearts, resulting in salvation, in Jesus’ Name. Amen._

DO THINGS  DIFFERENTLY

Do not remember the former things, nor consider the  things of old. Behold, I will do a new thing… Isaiah 43:18-19

If you desire a change in any area  of your life, you must first change the way you do things.

For example, if you want better  grades at school, you’d have to  change how and when you study  your books. 

Start out by getting to  school early and paying attention in  class. When you return home, read your books, and do your homework. 

As you do this regularly, and with the  help of the Holy Spirit, you’ll have  the excellent results you desire.

So, if you want things to change, then change the order by doing  things differently and excellently.
