In my sermon on August 8th, "The Gospel: On to Africa" (Acts 8:26-40), I included this proposition: "What God commands (His Commission), He empowers and provides for! Then I spoke of ways in which the Lord does this. You may want to be reminded of these five points as they are posted here in the next several days. Here is the first one:
* God positions His gospel-people (sometimes in extraordinary ways). vs. 26-27a
He positioned Philip and He positions you. How do you respond to this?
- Do you live in awareness that, as a gospel-person, the Lord positions you to be His witness-- workplace, TDY assignments, home, school?
- Are you willing to go where the Lord sends you, to a desert place, to hard places? On mission? A change in career, perhaps? Abandonment of the American dream? To be used in pursuit of completion of the Great Commission, for the glory of Christ?
I am praying for all of us, including myself, that we would love Christ and His glory and His gospel and lost people so much that we be willing and compelled to obey as He positions us, especially among the people-groups of the world and the hard places around us.
