YOUR VOCATION—A PLATFORM TO REACH OTHERS
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
Pastor Chris Oyakhilome Dsc. Dsc. DD.

📖 And when Silas and Timotheus were come from Macedonia, Paul was pressed in the spirit, and testified to the Jews that Jesus was Christ (Acts 18:5).

In Acts chapter 18, Luke, by the Spirit, gives us insight into the soul-winning strategy of the Apostle Paul. He arrived in Corinth and met Aquila and Priscilla, Jews who had just relocated from Italy. The Bible says they were tentmakers, and because Paul was of the same trade, he joined them and worked alongside them.

This wasn't a mere coincidence; it was a divine strategy. Paul used his trade as a connection point—he found common ground with them. During the week, he worked. But every Sabbath, he went into the synagogue to reason with the Jews and the Greeks, persuading them concerning Christ. His tent-making served as a bridge into the lives of others, and from there, he introduced them to the Gospel.

Then something significant happened. When Silas and Timothy arrived from Macedonia, Paul was stirred, pressed in the spirit, and immediately began testifying boldly that Jesus was the Christ. The atmosphere had changed. The presence of fellow labourers brought fresh fire and inspiration. The time for reasoning was over.

This shows us the power of spiritual companionship. When you're around others who are fervent in soul winning, it propels you to greater boldness. In the company of soul winners, the Spirit moves you. You receive strength and courage to proclaim the Gospel without fear. Even Aquila and Priscilla, who initially received Paul as a tentmaker, were so impacted that later, they ministered to Apollos and helped him receive the Holy Ghost. What started as a business relationship became a platform for transformation and ministry.

Recognise that God strategically places you in certain environments for the sake of the Gospel. Be spiritually conscious of this truth and seize every opportunity to testify that Jesus is Lord. Let the excellence of your spirit shine through. You're not just a lawyer, banker, politician, medical doctor, marketer, or athlete; you're a soul winner, sent from God! Your vocation is a platform for you to impact and transform the lives of those in your same line of work.

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
Dear Father, thank you for strategically positioning me in my world to impact others with the Gospel. I’m led by the Spirit to recognise and seize opportunities to transform lives, reshape destinies, and reveal your righteousness. The boldness of the Spirit is at work in me today, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.

Proverbs 11:30; The fruit of the righteous is a tree of life; And he that winneth souls is wise.

2 Corinthians 5:19-20 NKJV; that is, that God was in Christ reconciling the world to Himself, not imputing their trespasses to them, and has committed to us the word of reconciliation.
[20] Now then, we are ambassadors for Christ, as though God were pleading through us: we implore you on Christ’s behalf, be reconciled to God.

Acts 18:1-6; After these things Paul departed from Athens, and came to Corinth;
[2] and found a certain Jew named Aquila, born in Pontus, lately come from Italy, with his wife Priscilla; (because that Claudius had commanded all Jews to depart from Rome:) and came unto them.
[3] And because he was of the same craft, he abode with them, and wrought: for by their occupation they were tentmakers.
[4] And he reasoned in the synagogue every sabbath, and persuaded the Jews and the Greeks.
[5] And when Silas and Timotheus were come from Macedonia, Paul was pressed in the spirit, and testified to the Jews that Jesus was Christ.
[6] And when they opposed themselves, and blasphemed, he shook his raiment, and said unto them, Your blood be upon your own heads; I am clean: from henceforth I will go unto the Gentiles.

📖𝑻𝒉𝒆𝒏 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝑺𝒑𝒊𝒓𝒊𝒕 𝒔𝒂𝒊𝒅 𝒖𝒏𝒕𝒐 𝑷𝒉𝒊𝒍𝒊𝒑, 𝑮𝒐 𝒏𝒆𝒂𝒓, 𝒂𝒏𝒅 𝒋𝒐𝒊𝒏 𝒕𝒉𝒚𝒔𝒆𝒍𝒇 𝒕𝒐 𝒕𝒉𝒊𝒔 𝒄𝒉𝒂𝒓𝒊𝒐𝒕 (𝑨𝒄𝒕𝒔 8:29).

Always, the Holy Spirit, who is the Master Strategist, guides us in our soul-winning efforts. He leads you from within and makes your witnessing effective, guiding you on the right words to say and actions to take. He opens the door and expects you to recognise and seize the moment.

Consider, for example, how He guided Philip in Acts 8 to minister to the Ethiopian eu**ch. Philip had already received direction from an angel to go to a certain location, but when he arrived there, the Holy Spirit spoke to him and gave him clear instructions on what to do: "Then the Spirit said unto Philip, Go near, and join thyself to this chariot" (Acts 8:29).

Notice how precise the Spirit’s instruction was: “Go near, and join thyself to this chariot.” With that, Philip understood what was required because he was evangelism-conscious. He didn’t ask, “What next?” or hesitate; rather, upon getting to the chariot, he immediately began expounding the Scriptures to the Ethiopian Eu**ch (Read Acts 8:30-39). That’s how soul winners operate.

When you're attuned to the Spirit, He doesn’t have to give you a full script. You recognise the moment, and you know what to say. The Holy Spirit simply opens the door and you walk in, equipped and ready. That’s how Philip led the Ethiopian eu**ch to Christ. You must be that kind of Christian: one who takes full advantage of soul-winning opportunities.

Many times, I’ve had such moments. Even before the conversation begins, I’m already speaking in tongues under my breath, preparing “the soil.” I don’t waste time. I go straight to the point: “Have you received the Holy Spirit?” or “Are you born again?”

I don’t want to leave the conversation without talking about Jesus. What if that’s the only chance I’ll ever get? What if it’s their only opportunity to hear the Gospel? So, when the Holy Spirit nudges you, seize the moment. Speak boldly. Recognise the open door and walk through it.

🙏𝐏𝐑𝐀𝐘𝐄𝐑

Dear Father, thank you for the Holy Spirit who lives in me and guides me in all things. I’m sensitive to His leading and alert to the opportunities He presents. I walk through every open door with boldness and wisdom, fulfilling your call to win souls, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.

Acts 8:29-35 KJV Then the Spirit said unto Philip, Go near, and join thyself to this chariot. 30 And Philip ran thither to [him], and heard him read the prophet Esaias, and said, Understandest thou what thou readest? 31 And he said, How can I, except some man should guide me? And he desired Philip that he would come up and sit with him. 32 The place of the scripture which he read was this, He was led as a sheep to the slaughter; and like a lamb dumb before his shearer, so opened he not his mouth: 33 In his humiliation his judgment was taken away: and who shall declare his generation? for his life is taken from the earth. 34 And the eu**ch answered Philip, and said, I pray thee, of whom speaketh the prophet this? of himself, or of some other man? 35 Then Philip opened his mouth, and began at the same scripture, and preached unto him Jesus.

John 4:4-14 KJV And he must needs go through Samaria. 5 Then cometh he to a city of Samaria, which is called Sychar, near to the parcel of ground that Jacob gave to his son Joseph. 6 Now Jacob's well was there. Jesus therefore, being wearied with [his] journey, sat thus on the well: [and] it was about the sixth hour. 7 There cometh a woman of Samaria to draw water: Jesus saith unto her, Give me to drink. 8 (For his disciples were gone away unto the city to buy meat.) 9 Then saith the woman of Samaria unto him, How is it that thou, being a Jew, askest drink of me, which am a woman of Samaria? for the Jews have no dealings with the Samaritans. 10 Jesus answered and said unto her, If thou knewest the gift of God, and who it is that saith to thee, Give me to drink; thou wouldest have asked of him, and he would have given thee living water. 11 The woman saith unto him, Sir, thou hast nothing to draw with, and the well is deep: from whence then hast thou that living water? 12 Art thou greater than our father Jacob, which gave us the well, and drank thereof himself, and his children, and his cattle? 13 Jesus answered and said unto her, Whosoever drinketh of this water shall thirst again: 14 But whosoever drinketh of the water that I shall give him shall never thirst; but the water that I shall give him shall be in him a well of water springing up into everlasting life.

2 Timothy 4:2 KJV Preach the word; be instant in season, out of season; reprove, rebuke, exhort with all longsuffering and doctrine.

𝑾𝒉𝒊𝒍𝒆 𝑷𝒆𝒕𝒆𝒓 𝒕𝒉𝒐𝒖𝒈𝒉𝒕 𝒐𝒏 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝒗𝒊𝒔𝒊𝒐𝒏, 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝑺𝒑𝒊𝒓𝒊𝒕 𝒔𝒂𝒊𝒅 𝒖𝒏𝒕𝒐 𝒉𝒊𝒎, 𝑩𝒆𝒉𝒐𝒍𝒅, 𝒕𝒉𝒓𝒆𝒆 𝒎𝒆𝒏 𝒔𝒆𝒆𝒌 𝒕𝒉𝒆𝒆 (Acts 10:19).

As a Christian, you must always be spiritually alert. Otherwise, you may not recognise divine promptings, and you may struggle to discern the voice of the Spirit. A vital part of soul winning is being led by the Holy Spirit, and for that, your spirit must be sensitive.

In Acts 10, we see a beautiful example with Peter. He had gone upstairs to pray, and while praying, he fell into a trance and saw a vision from heaven: a great sheet lowered with all kinds of unclean animals. Then, a voice said to him, ...𝑷𝒆𝒕𝒆𝒓, 𝒌𝒊𝒍𝒍 𝒂𝒏𝒅 𝒆𝒂𝒕 (Acts 10:13 AMPC). This happened three times.

Clearly, the Lord was trying to get Peter’s attention for the salvation of Cornelius, a Roman Centurion, who at the time had already sent three of his servants to fetch Peter. Then the Bible says in verses 17-20, 𝑵𝒐𝒘 𝒘𝒉𝒊𝒍𝒆 𝑷𝒆𝒕𝒆𝒓 𝒅𝒐𝒖𝒃𝒕𝒆𝒅 𝒊𝒏 𝒉𝒊𝒎𝒔𝒆𝒍𝒇 𝒘𝒉𝒂𝒕 𝒕𝒉𝒊𝒔 𝒗𝒊𝒔𝒊𝒐𝒏 𝒘𝒉𝒊𝒄𝒉 𝒉𝒆 𝒉𝒂𝒅 𝒔𝒆𝒆𝒏 𝒔𝒉𝒐𝒖𝒍𝒅 𝒎𝒆𝒂𝒏, 𝒃𝒆𝒉𝒐𝒍𝒅, 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝒎𝒆𝒏 𝒘𝒉𝒊𝒄𝒉 𝒘𝒆𝒓𝒆 𝒔𝒆𝒏𝒕 𝒇𝒓𝒐𝒎 𝑪𝒐𝒓𝒏𝒆𝒍𝒊𝒖𝒔…𝒔𝒕𝒐𝒐𝒅 𝒃𝒆𝒇𝒐𝒓𝒆 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝒈𝒂𝒕𝒆, 𝒂𝒏𝒅 𝒄𝒂𝒍𝒍𝒆𝒅….𝑾𝒉𝒊𝒍𝒆 𝑷𝒆𝒕𝒆𝒓 𝒕𝒉𝒐𝒖𝒈𝒉𝒕 𝒐𝒏 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝒗𝒊𝒔𝒊𝒐𝒏, 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝑺𝒑𝒊𝒓𝒊𝒕 𝒔𝒂𝒊𝒅 𝒖𝒏𝒕𝒐 𝒉𝒊𝒎, 𝑩𝒆𝒉𝒐𝒍𝒅, 𝒕𝒉𝒓𝒆𝒆 𝒎𝒆𝒏 𝒔𝒆𝒆𝒌 𝒕𝒉𝒆𝒆. 𝑨𝒓𝒊𝒔𝒆 𝒕𝒉𝒆𝒓𝒆𝒇𝒐𝒓𝒆, 𝒂𝒏𝒅 𝒈𝒆𝒕 𝒕𝒉𝒆𝒆 𝒅𝒐𝒘𝒏, 𝒂𝒏𝒅 𝒈𝒐 𝒘𝒊𝒕𝒉 𝒕𝒉𝒆𝒎, 𝒅𝒐𝒖𝒃𝒕𝒊𝒏𝒈 𝒏𝒐𝒕𝒉𝒊𝒏𝒈: 𝒇𝒐𝒓 𝑰 𝒉𝒂𝒗𝒆 𝒔𝒆𝒏𝒕 𝒕𝒉𝒆𝒎."

The Holy Spirit gave clear direction and instructions to Peter such that he didn't need to second-guess. But notice that Peter was in prayer while this happened. As a result, Cornelius, a Roman centurion, and his entire household received salvation and the infilling of the Holy Spirit. What if Peter hadn't responded? What if he had hesitated?

When your spirit is sensitive and active through prayer, meditation on the Word, and walking in fellowship with the Holy Spirit, it’s easier to recognise and respond to the Holy Spirit’s guidance.

𝑪𝑶𝑵𝑭𝑬𝑺𝑺𝑰𝑶𝑵

Dear Father, I thank you for the inspiration through your Word and the Spirit. I’m spiritually alert and responsive to your guidance. I function beyond the senses. I recognise your voice and follow your instructions without doubt or delay. I’m a soul winner, led by your Spirit always, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.
