SPIRIT LED!!!
"And he rose and went: and behold, a man of Ethiopia".....Acts 8:26-27. My friend, are you willing to be a Philip? Philip was one of the seven men to lead the New Testament church. Why? Because he had certain qualities. And he had ability to be Spirit-led. Philip was not only a faithful preacher; he was an obedient personal worker. Philip started out as a deacon working in the administration department of the church. But he went on to become an evangelist, conducting city-wide meeting in Samaria drawing multitudes because God was working miracles through him(Acts 8:5-6). Now the idea of staying there and building a church must have been very appealing to Philip. But God had other plans. Scripture says "An angel of the Lord spoke to Philip..Arise and go towards the ..DESERT. So he arose and went". If it were you and I, we will question God: "Go where? To the desert? Are you serious, Lord"? Here is a lesson: When God speaks to you He may not tell you what you want to hear, or send you where you'd like to go or stay. Bro: have you considered that? Is that why you're not actively seeking His guidance and grumbling and complaining? You want God to work in your agenda?. But remember "BIG DOORS SWING ON LITTLE HINGES", right? Philip's assignment was to introduce Christ to the secretary of Finance of Ethiopia and baptize him. History says Eunuch went back and won multitudes for Christ. But it only happened because Philip could leave His comfort zone, step out in faith and follow God. WILL YOU DO THAT BUDDY? Hey hey "IN ORDER TO LEAD OTHERS YOU MUST KNOW HOW TO BE LED BY GOD"! Y'all hear me partner? Yeah!! Good.
