MFM DAILY DEVOTIONAL 20TH JULY 2023
We shall continue to learn more from evangelist Phillip, a man of commitment and dedication to the service of God. He started with being one of those that were set apart for a peculiar assignment in the body of Christ at that time. Humble as the assignment was, he ended with doing great exploits for God through his ministry to multitude and to individuals. A true evangelist indeed!
Philip was a people’s person, a master at resolving conflicts. He demonstrated this at the time the seven deacons were appointed in Acts 6:5.
Obviously, there was peace amongst the brethren through their ministration. Filled with the Holy Ghost, his ministry was notable for signs and wonders, so much that people listened attentively to his preaching followed by healing and deliverance in Acts 8:8. Even, Simon, the sorcerer and the people of Samaria confessed that truly, he carried the power of God.
How much of God do you carry in you? Can people see you, listen to you and declare the same? Can you be listed among the men of honour, faith and wisdom as the seven deacons? Can you quickly go on preaching with the manifestation of persecution right under your nose? Will you stand for Christ and Him alone even in a strange land? All of these questions and more will help you to do a self-evaluation to your ministry and service like Philip, if you must fulfill your divine calling.
Philip was ready to go for the Lord without hesitation!
He fulfilled his ministry without struggles. This happened simply because he was a man of humility and obedience. He obeyed the leading of the Holy Spirit without reservation. As soon as he was done with his divine assignment in Samaria, there was an angelic instruction to go to another place where the Holy Spirit had another assignment for him on the road leading to Gaza. This was a divine direction and preparation for the gospel to reach out to Africa. Unknown to Philip, he had a divine appointment with the Ethiopian eunuch to explain to him what he was reading but had no understanding (Acts 8:30-31). He was a man of patience and deep understanding of God’s word.
He ended baptizing the Ethiopian eunuch after leading him to Christ. Beloved brother and sister, how well do you listen to or hear the Holy Spirit? Do you ever wait for God to lead you, or you go all the way just by yourself? Listen to the word of God in Prov. 3:5-7, if truly you’re a child of God, you will not lean on your own wisdom, strength or understanding. Rather you will acknowledge God and He will direct your ways. That was what Philip did. Just that! He was a humble servant of God who simply take instructions and that was it. No wonder, he served successfully without struggles. May that be your portion, in the name of Jesus.
