When the Holy Spirit directed Philip to a chariot belonging to an Ethiopian eunuch, he ministered the Word of God to the man, got him gloriously saved and also baptized in water. The chariot represents the vehicles of life, and the Word ‘vehicles’ here doesn’t only refer to cars, buses and airplanes. There are different types of chariots. Some carry your body, like airplanes, while others carry your ideas, talents, skills and character. A vehicle is that which provides for you an avenue of expression; physically, mentally and so on, hence we have business and professional vehicles. If you’re a student, your school is your vehicle. Where you live is also a vehicle. In your chariot, you associate with people and express your convictions, thus, your ideas come forth to others. Your chariot is your world.
God needs you in your world. There are people you meet that I may never meet until we get to heaven, and there are people I meet that you may never meet. The people you meet are those in your world, and it’s God’s purpose that you reach them, win them and also disciple them. There’s nothing as glorious as seeing people won to Jesus Christ and seeing them becoming more like Him. Don’t rely on the victories of the past, do it over and over because that’s true Christian living. It’s an ever-flowing stream, carrying with it the love of God.
God needs you to effect a change in your office, family, neighborhood, community, town, and country. You’re the solution the world seeks; you’re the hope of the despondent; you’re the strength to the weary; you’re the wisdom for the simple. Though all this may sound far-fetched, it’s true nonetheless.
Paul the apostle went about this ministry tenaciously, at times to the peril of his own life. He said, “…yea, woe is unto me, if I preach not the gospel!” (1 Corinthians 9:16). That’s why he was able to say boldly amidst intense persecutions, “…I was not disobedient unto the heavenly vision” (Acts 26:19).
