Running with Jesus
Acts 8:27-28 "And he arose and went: and, behold, a man of Ethiopia, an eunuch of great authority under Candace queen of the Ethiopians, who had the charge of all her treasure, and had come to Jerusalem for to worship, was returning, and sitting in his chariot read Esaias the prophet."
We caught up with them this morning and Philip was led by the Holy Spirit to this man in his chariot reading in the book of Isaiah about Jesus prophesied death. He couldn't understand and interpret what was being read. God sent Philip to explain the scripture.
The Bible says they cannot be born again unless they hear the Word of God and how can they hear without a preacher. Now this is where we come in. We were told to go and preach the gospel into the uttermost part of the world. We are to live in this world and are to remember we are not of this world. This means staying focused and understand we are a born again child of God and our citizenship is in heaven. This is how we begin to discern the leading of the Holy Spirit. Not allowing the things of this world to control us. The Spirit will guide us to do the work God has called us to do, reconciling the lost to Him. It will make a difference in a soul going to heaven or hell. Keep focus as you run through this life. We are in this world temporarily but heaven is eternal.
Working with God is one of the greatest privileges I have had to travel through this world. He has stretched me beyond my limits but has kept His hand upon me every step of the way.
Father, again today we ask You to keep us focused and empower us with boldness to share the gospel to those who are confused and doesn't understand who You are. Holy Spirit be our day guide, lead, and direct us. We yield our rights to You this morning and keep our eyes and ears open to witnessing opportunities. Some soul needs to know who You are, lead us to that one.
Saul is up ahead, run lightly and he is still not converted, watch out! In the morning meet us!
