DCLM Daily Manna 22 April 2018 Devotional by Pastor W.F. Kumuyi – Arise and Go

Message: We live in an age when many people travel far and near in search of God. They do not know that no one employing human methods, “canst by searching find out God”, neither “canst thou find out the Almighty unto perfection”. Since they cannot do it on their own, the believers should arise and go to show all seekers the way to Jesus Christ.

Philip received the instruction of the Lord to leave the revival and success he was witnessing in Samaria and head to the desert! As he obeyed, he ran into a man of great authority from Ethiopia, who came all the way from Africa on a form of pilgrimage to Jerusalem. As Philip approached the man riding in his chariot, he heard him read from the Book of Isaiah. Prompted by the Spirit of God, Philip ran and got near the chariot, and immediately struck a conversation with the man. “Understandest thou what thou readest?” Philip asked. The man answered in the negative, adding that he needed help with the interpretation. He was reading the prophecy concerning the sacrifice of Jesus Christ.

The Ethiopian eunuch wasn’t sure whether Isaiah was talking about himself or about another man. “Then Philip opened his mouth, and began at the same Scripture, and preached unto him Jesus.” The man accepted the gospel, believed that Jesus was the Son of God and was baptised, and went home rejoicing. Immediately after, the Spirit of God miraculously transported Philip to another location to continue spreading the gospel.

Preaching the gospel is our occupation. We must rise from our comfort zone and head to where the sinners are. We cannot afford to fail if we hope to pull souls away from the path of perdition.
