Acts 8:29 Then the Spirit said unto Philip, Go near, and join thyself to this chariot. 30 And Philip ran thither to him, and heard him read the prophet Esaias, and said, Understandest thou what thou readest?
It shouldn’t be necessary for The Holy Ghost to give Phillip a reason for joining himself to the Ethiopian’s chariot, for it should have been understood by all of the early rain soldiers, that their sole focus was the great commission, and as such, the preaching, and disseminating of the gospel should be understood as being a given.
In our day, when God calls on His soldiers to go join themselves to “this chariot” or any other chariot for that matter, it’s not to talk about the big games, or the latest release in the theatres, or on Netflix. The soldiers of the cross must have understood by now that their sole focus is the mission, and as such, any opportunity granted us by God must be to preach, as Phillip did.
In our daily interaction with our fellowmen, there are many chariots, with Ethiopians sitting in them, waiting and hoping that someone would explain the scriptures to them. These are not primarily business opportunities, as some have erroneously believed; they are in most cases an opportunity that The Holy Spirit is giving, and He expects us to step up to the plate.
Acts 8:Acts 8:31 And he said, How can I, except some man should guide me? And he desired Philip that he would come up and sit with him.
May God add His blessing to the study of His word. “Good night” and God bless!
