ENTHRONEMENT ASSEMBLY DAILY DEVOTIONALS.

Tppic: Effective Witnessing.

Memory Verse :Acts 8:37. When they came up out of the water, the Spirit of the Lord took Philip away. The official did not see him again, but continued on his way, full of joy.

Bible Reading : Acts 8:33-35 GNB-. Key Verse : v35.

The official asked Philip, “Tell me, of whom is the prophet saying this? Of himself or of someone else?” Then Philip began to speak; starting from this passage of scripture, he told him the Good News about Jesus. As they travelled down the road, they came to a place where there was some water, and the official said, “Here is some water. What is to keep me from being baptized?”

Soul winning is a very important assignment that Jesus Christ gave us as believers. Because of the nature of the assignment which is spiritual, he gave up his Spirit as a backup for effective witnessing. ‭”But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes on you; and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the ends of the earth.”” Acts 1:8 NIV‬. This power was finally released to the church of Jesus at Pentecost. Power became necessary because Satan who keeps men in bondage will not let them go without a confrontation. The power of God as made available to us by his Spirit is the only antidote to Satan and his activities in the lives of men.

In witnessing, the example of the Apostles in the book of Acts should challenge us. Before we come to Philip, we see a man like Peter who was afraid of the predicaments of Jesus after he was arrested to the point of denying him, now standing boldly at Pentecost in Acts chapter 2 to declare the counsel of the Lord in a manner that 3,000 souls was harvested into the kingdom at a sweep without the use of any address system. His message was laden with much power that his audience who came to observe and mock what they thought was the chaos of drunken men; they all surrendered to Jesus under the conviction of the Spirit of God. Now the disciples went through the region of Samaria preaching the gospel and bearing witness of the good news of salvation through Jesus, when God sent Stephen on this strategic witnessing to the Ethiopian Eunuch. This government official was coming from the place of worship and reading the book of Isaiah without understanding, till Philip was sent to put him through. Because this witnessing was strategically orchestrated by the Spirit, Philip didn’t struggle to get him saved as he confessed his faith in Christ and was baptised.

Today, the church needs to return to Spirit guided witnessing if we must post the quality of results these men of old posted. Imagine that after completing his assignment with the Ethiopian Eunuch that Philip was transported from that location to Azotus, so that he could easily enter Ceaserea to continue his work, without using any natural means of transportation. All these experiences and many more was made possible because these men of old was lived in the coven of prayer, being sold out to their assignment. Today the Spirit of God is looking for men to empower for a new and strategic move of God over the nations of the earth in the nature of these Apostles of old. If we can give ourselves to prayer and the study of the word like these men of old, we are going to operate in another realm of power and glory that will re-enact these Biblical experiences because God himself is ready not just to repeat what he did yesterday, but to even do more to make himself known in this generation. “We ourselves, then, will give our full time to prayer and the work of preaching.”” Acts 6:4..

Prayer :Thank you Lord Jesus for saving me so that I can bear witness of the truth in my generation. Today help me to live to pray and be soaked in your word till my life becomes a channel to manifest your glory in Jesus wonderful name…… Amen 🙏🏿.

Yearly Bible Reading : 2 Samuel 11:1-27.
