DIVINE APPOINTMENTS

Philip the evangelist and deacon had no idea why God asked him to leave a successful ministry in Samaria and travel down a desert road.  Little did he know that God had pre-arranged an opportunity to potentially impact the entire nation of Ethiopia.  ( Acts 8)

As you know the Ethiopian CFO had come from Jerusalem searching for some answers.  He just happened to be stumped over a passage in Isaiah 53.  Philip jumps into his chariot and explains the Gospel to him.  The Eunuch understood and accepted Christ and was immediately baptized.

Some of us would call that some low hanging fruit just waiting to be picked.  Another way to look at it is God designed a divine appointment for Philip.

I believe God still designs divine appointments for all of us if we would be as alert to the voice of God as Philip.

Not only did Philip listen to God, he was willing to run up to the chariot and ask a simple question. Little did he know how open the Ethiopian Eunuch would be.  Not only did he plant the seed he consummated the deal by baptizing him.

I wonder how many opportunities God has prearranged for us that we have missed because we are too preoccupied with our lives?  Or perhaps too chicken to ask a simple question?

I believe there are still many people searching for answers in our culture.  We have it!

Let's all try running up to more chariots.  You never know what impact that one person might have for the His Kingdom.

Keep listening!
