Led to Another Mission

Philip and the eunuch went down into the water and Philip baptized him. When they came up out of the water, the Spirit of the Lord suddenly took Philip away, and the eunuch did not see him again, but went on his way rejoicing. Philip, however, appeared at Azotus and traveled about, preaching the gospel in all the towns until he reached Caesarea.

—Acts 8:38-40 NIV

Key Thought​

When the Holy Spirit leads and guides God's servants, people come to Christ with great joy. Then the Holy Spirit can lead God's servants to new places to share the great news of Jesus, as Philip did after telling the eunuch about Jesus.

Today's Prayer​

O Lord God, the Almighty God of every nation, tribe, language, and people, bring the joy of your salvation to our tired world and lead your servants to the people and places that are hungering and thirsting for your grace. In Jesus' name, I pray. Amen.

Pray This Prayer From Your Heart: God I ask You in Jesus’ name cause and bless me to grow in the holiness of God. Help me and show me how to keep my focus on You, rest my mind in Christ's purity of heart, and always seek Jesus as my source and standard of holiness. God also show me how and help me to focus on, appreciate, and excel in my spiritual gifts, and the calling You have placed upon my life. God don't let me be envious or jealous of others because of their gifts, callings, and or blessings. But let me focus on and appreciate You and what You have done for me and blessed me with. God please do the same for the writer of this prayer, all my family, friends, and every member of my church. Thank You Jesus. Amen, so be it by faith, and by faith, it is so in Jesus’ name!
