The speaker invites the audience to turn to this passage in their Bibles, indicating that the chapter will likely involve an exploration or discussion based on Acts chapter 8.
04:30 - 55:00: Philip and the Ethiopian Eunuch The chapter describes an encounter between Philip and an Ethiopian eunuch on the road from Jerusalem to Gaza. It begins with an angel instructing Philip to travel along the southern desert road. Along the way, Philip meets an Ethiopian eunuch who holds a position of authority under the Queen of Ethiopia, known as Candace. This meeting leads to a significant exchange between the two individuals.
55:00 - 70:00: Teachings on Baptism This chapter discusses the biblical account of an Ethiopian official who was in charge of the treasury. The official had traveled to Jerusalem to worship and on his way back, he was reading from the book of Isaiah.

00:00 - 00:30 amen in the book of Acts chapter 8 thank you Jesus acts chapter 8 please turn your Bibles with me to Acts chapter 8 i'm reading from verse 26
00:30 - 01:00 acts 8:26 and the angel of the Lord spake unto Philillip saying Arise and go towards the south unto the way that goeth down from Jerusalem into Gaza which is desert and he arose and went and behold a man of Ethiopia and Uno of great authority under Candes the queen of eth the
01:00 - 01:30 Ethiopians who had who had the charge of all her treasury and had come to Jerusalem for to worship was returning and sitting in his chariots read Isaiah's Isaiah's the prophet then the spirit the spirit said unto Philillip "Go near and join
01:30 - 02:00 yourself to the chariot." And Philip ran thither to him and had him read the prophet Isas and said "Understandest thou what thou what thou readest?" And he said "How can I except some man should guide me?" And he desired Philillip that he would come up and sit with him the place of the scripture which he read was this he was led as a
02:00 - 02:30 sheep to the slaughter and like a lamb damned before his sheer so opened he not his mouth in his humiliation his judgment was taken away and who shall declare his generation for his life is taken from the earth and the unoch answered Philillip and said I pray thee of whom speaketh the prophet this of himself or
02:30 - 03:00 of some other man then Philip opened his mouth and began at the same scripture and preached unto him Jesus and as they went on their way they came onto a certain water and the Enoch said see here is water what do hinder me to be baptized and Philip said "If thou believeth with
03:00 - 03:30 all thine heart thou mayest." And he answered and said "I believe that Jesus Christ is the son of God and is the son of God." And he commanded the chariots to stand still and they went down both into the water and both Philillip and the unkn and he baptized him and when they were come out of the water the spirit of
03:30 - 04:00 the Lord caught away Philillip that the Enoch saw him no more and he went on his way rejoicing but Philillip was found at Azotus and passing through passing through he preached in all the cities till he came to Cesaria here ends the reading of God's word shall we play please pray father thank you so much for giving us the privilege

05:00 - 05:30 dimensions of grace that can that can only come through the teaching of your word to the glory of your name in Jesus name amen amen please be seated it feels it feels like um the reading the it feels like the reading
05:30 - 06:00 is so sweet it feels like this is a reading that doesn't need explanation it's it's so sweet and so nice in the in our previous session as we spoke we saw how Philillip one of the seven who were chosen to serve tables in Acts chapter 6 we are
06:00 - 06:30 introduced to the seven starting with Steven and then Philillip and then in Acts chapter 7 it was primarily about Steven then in Acts chapter 8 we are introduced to Phillip so practically almost all of Acts chapter 8 is Phillip acts chapter 7 is Steven acts chapter 8 is Phillip and then you'll find out later that that Acts chapter 9
06:30 - 07:00 is the conversion of the greatest missionary but Steven Phillip we can see was the first person to embark on a missionary trip he introduced the church or missions in the church philillip so let's look at Philip again we saw how he went down to Samaria not because he planned to travel there but because they were all scattering and he found himself he ended up in Samaria and we saw in our
07:00 - 07:30 previous teaching how he preached in Samaria and even the sorcerer got attracted to follow him and the whole city had so much joy because the word of God had come so we saw the impact God did made through um Philillip's ministry in Samaria but something interesting happened Samar for God to make sure or
07:30 - 08:00 to make a statement that what was happening in Samaria even though the Samaritans and the Jews don't they don't agree they are not in good terms God wanted to make sure that what had started in Samaria was intricately linked to what he had started in Jerusalem as I said so Peter and John god didn't give them the Holy Spirit till Peter and John to
08:00 - 08:30 get there for Peter until Peter and John got there and prayed for them that may they might receive verse 17 that they might receive the Holy Spirit but God could have given them that already god wanted it to be clear to the Jerusalem those the Jews in Jerusalem that what is happening in Samaria is not different from what is happening in Jerusalem and he wanted the those in Jerusalem Samaria to also know that you are not detach detached from Samaria so don't do your
08:30 - 09:00 own from Jerusalem so don't do your own thing it's one body one body by one spirit have we been baptized into one body as the scriptures say in 1 Corinthians 12:3 and Ephesians chapter 4 says that there is one spirit ephesians chapter 4 verse 4 and 5 said one spirit so it's the same spirit that who is at work in Jerusalem who is at work in the church in Jerusalem who is also at work in the
09:00 - 09:30 church in Samaria and so but one one thing I want to draw your attention to is um after all that Simon the Sorcerer did you know Simon the Sorcerer I didn't get to tell you that there is a word called simony simony is to give money for church position or for promotion so let's say you want to be you want to be a bishop you you pay you know the way sometimes I hear even the Olympics and the world cup the way people lobby and
09:30 - 10:00 try and yeah simmon is to bring that into church to give money so that you can be made a pastor give money so you can be made a a bishop it was quite common in the middle ages where it's still common some places now where people pay their way to church authorities arbishops popes bishops They pay their way they give them money so they so someone can be in the church not born again but can give money listen I like that position can you make me a bishop they pay yeah it's called Simony
10:00 - 10:30 and that tells you where it came from it was derived from Simon M Maggus simon Magus the magician who tried to buy office in the church tried to buy relevance in the church try to buy importance in the church with his money simony it is the the buying or selling of advantages such as paid positions in in in the church so you are buying advantage by paying and getting into the
10:30 - 11:00 that's that's just for your information so Simony is a is a word and came from Simon now after Simon Maggus was rebuked I saw something verse 25 that really thrilled my heart bible says Peter and John and when they had testified and preached the word of the Lord they returned to Jerusalem preaching the gospel in many villages that's Simon and John you see preaching was very
11:00 - 11:30 regular they actually after they went to pray for them to receive the Holy Spirit baptism they testified and preached the word of the They testified they testified and preached the word of the Lord that's what they were actually doing that's what the church life really is the church life is about learning more of Christ from scripture from scripture getting to know Jesus more and more so as I said the
11:30 - 12:00 other time it is necessary to not minimize a serious church must find every means to pos potentially eliminate pulpit entertainment and have Bible centered preaching bible i taught you the other time that one of the main sign of a true church is its biblical practices and biblical
12:00 - 12:30 teachings that's one of the main sign of a quality and a genuine church there the preaching is very biblical and it explain what the scripture says so these guys that's their normal life they went they after they testified and they ex and preached the word of the lord they returned to Jerusalem and it's like from villages preaching preaching the gospel preaching the gospel preaching the
12:30 - 13:00 gospel I believe God will be also working miracles but focus was not giving to the miracle but the focus of giving to the preaching because the miracles are not essential what are miracles without preaching yes Satan can do it Yeah Satan can do it but the God can use preaching without miracles he does miracles to bring attention to the preaching that's right miracles are signs so Bible says that as I spoke
13:00 - 13:30 about in verse verse 12 I like that text so much when but when they had believed Philillip as he preached the things concerning the kingdom of God and the name of that's what he was preaching nothing else he was preaching the things concerning the kingdom of God and the name of Jesus both men and women were baptized why Simon Magos himself got
13:30 - 14:00 baptized and following Philip wandering and following and was amazed seeing the miracles but you See when we mention when sermon the social was mentioned we Bible put emphasis on miracles that's what was got your attention as I said there but when you look at the verse 12 Bible says that we believe the preaching he was preaching and explaining the verse 12 that he taught the things concerning the kingdom and that's why they were baptized based on that not based on the miracles and so are miracles not
14:00 - 14:30 important they are essential they are necessary but you can be saved without miracles but you can and then you you can have miracle without being saved you can have miracles without being saved in fact there are people who are following Jesus Christ and when he multiplied the bread he multiplied bread and fed them john chapter 6 from verse 66 or something Bible says and the disciples left him they didn't follow
14:30 - 15:00 him again meanwhile in the verse 26 or somewhere from 20 verse 26 they came to make him a king they said Jesus they wanted to make because of bread they ate when they saw the yeah chapter 6 of John uh verse 24 no it can't be 24 25 26 somewhere Bible says that they decide to make him to give him political advantage verse 15 he said and Jesus okay so verse
15:00 - 15:30 15 says that when Jesus perceived that they were about to come and take him by force to make him king he left there said you can't no he left there he he left and went to the mountains alone they wanted to make him be why because of the food they had eaten these same people these same people in the verse 60 after Jesus taught he taught them heavily from verse about I'm the bread your father's at mana I'm the bread that came from heaven
15:30 - 16:00 I'm the bread you unless you eat me you don't have life on earth you drink my blood and by verse 66 they said verse 64 they said this is a hard scene who can listen to this we don't like the preaching they said we don't like this preaching this preaching is ah yeah it says that and therefore many of his disciple when they heard this they said this is a hard scene who who who can Understand this it is his preaching they followed him to come and eat more
16:00 - 16:30 and he move he diverted their focus to the preaching because God can't help you without the preaching of his word that's right that's right it's the word the word the word you your spiritual growth is determined by your word growth yes growth and understanding scripture so in fact in Acts chapter 14 can you imagine that they came they said the gods from verse 17 and 14 the gods have come down
16:30 - 17:00 to us in human flesh after Paul did a miracle and healed somebody as Listra they came to come and verse 11 they came to come and sacrifice the the the priest of Zos and the priest sorry the priest there of Zeus and Jupiter they came because they said Paul was Zos and then Z Okay they call Bambas and call Paul Hermes yeah hermes the one in the shop maybe Gucci so they call
17:00 - 17:30 Paul because he was the chief and they came to sacrifice oxen they coming to perform sacrifice and Paul had to they ripped their dress their their garments they said please stop this we are ordinary man look at us nothing special about us we actually preaching and telling you to turn away from this vain behavior now because of the miracle you see what miracle can do because of the miracle you are coming to make us in fact bring your stuff what
17:30 - 18:00 we are trying to preach you away from the human nature was now bringing to make because they are so impressed with us they didn't allow that then some enemies came from Lististra and came and polluted these same people who said they are gods do you know how the story ended they caught Paul and beat him they stoned him yes they stole Paul and dragged him look it is only verse 14 said "Don't do this to us." Five verses
18:00 - 18:30 downwards why man why are you doing this to us in the verse 15 four verses downwards they stoning him the same people who saw the miracle and were so impressed because they will not listen to preaching because they will not listen to preaching they stoned the one who was coming to deliver the message from God to them and so it's important to understand that they went every village preaching pre the the work of God rises and falls on the preaching not just
18:30 - 19:00 preaching but second Timothy chapter 4 verse two first two words first three words first three words If you are if you get tired of hearing this phrase I'm sorry you are even about to get more tired you will hear it whether they are tired of hearing the word whether they are interested in hearing the word or not whether they are in the mood to to hear the word or not whether the word feels old fashion to
19:00 - 19:30 them or not don't change it he told us what to preach pastor man of God Christian brother Christian sister preach not politics not therapy sessions not motivational talk [Music] no not financial relief
19:30 - 20:00 not social justice not racial justice preach that's all anything outside of the word any and a man of God gets into he has diverted doesn't matter how wonderful how loving people like saying it does not matter once you are out of the word you are out of the
20:00 - 20:30 message so you can be preaching but not preaching God's message when you are traveling and you go to the airport there's something called gate gate 16 A gate 14 A gate 10 gate 11 gate 27 gate some of it is gate 63 He so many different gates you have to walk and walk and walk and and 63B 63 C and gates
20:30 - 21:00 but if you're having a conversation with your friend and your plane is plane is departing from gate 7 A and you go to gate 6A you know it's just small but you will end up in a different direction from where you are going the same way if the word of God we don't focus on the word of God and add a little bit a little just a little deviation it can end us very far from what God has planned us to
21:00 - 21:30 be that is why don't I'm about to introduce a very a new concept here don't spare or celebrate don't celebrate or spare a preacher who is not focusing on the word don't spare them don't spare me if I go of the word don't spare me sometimes let your facial expressions what's that yeah and so yeah yeah yeah
21:30 - 22:00 yeah and so can you stop the rant it's nice to hear all these stories but you know can you stop the ranting so it's important church a growing Christian never spares a preacher if he goes if migrates a little bit of the word it's not like we attack the person it's not like you're upset with the person but you you don't approve of
22:00 - 22:30 that because this you know I was teaching one of the Thursdays I was teaching something that when you are preaching a pastor is supposed to keep one finger on the Bible even me I have to stop moving around and as I'm preaching I'm as I'm speaking my finger must be on the Bible i'm speaking one just in case I need this hand to do illustration so remove the this one must go there and keep because it must be a word preach the word hallelujah clap for
22:30 - 23:00 Jesus i heard a a a Christian theologian say that the preaching time is a very serious time it's not meant to be funny it's not meant to it's not a comedy session it's not puppet if you are here for entertainment I think you might not like it i have to We all have to move away from excessive entertainment sometimes there are times
23:00 - 23:30 we'll come to church short praise and worship the word oh some people are not happy you you know the way moms you didn't like veg mom said you you eat it you will still eat the veg some of us you only like dessert that's why things look like desert in our so may God have mercy on us all in Jesus
23:30 - 24:00 name so they preach wow so then Bible says look at this the main point I want to Philillip got such a heavy endorsement from the Jerusalem apostles they came all the way to endorse what he was doing that was a big breakthrough after the endorsement that is when he's even had to start the departmental movements and make sure things are you know he has to buy a throne and make sure his chair is special he has to he
24:00 - 24:30 has he has to because the guy the thing is working then Bible says that verse 26 of Acts chapter 8 the angel of the and an angel of the Lord spoke to Philillip oh yeah speak to me angel saying arise and go towards the south ah go towards the south along the road which goes down from Jerusalem to Gaza now remember where was he at this moment
24:30 - 25:00 samaria you remember Samaria is towards the north so north of Judea and Jerusalem is in Judea and he's in Samaria and now they said go towards the south along the road that goes to Jerusalem so it's almost going back on yourself to Jerusalem and then go past Jerusalem and now you are going south because Gaza itself it was the major route between um Judea towards Africa through Egypt so
25:00 - 25:30 Gaza strip they say you should go to Gaza Strip and it's a desert road desert road there means almost like a deserted road people hardly use that road put you on the screen the scripture is I know you're looking for the map if you have the map but let's do the scripture first it's better now an angel of the Lord spoke to Philillip saying arise and go towards the south along the road which goes down to Jerusalem to Gaza this is a desert
25:30 - 26:00 Look he was in a buzzing city things were working things were working he was a big guy the whole city gave him attention when he was coming he had several he if he was today will have a lot of security guards living a very I mean powerful life it's not bad in itself but very comfortable then an angel comes to him after all the approval God has given him by apostolic approval angel comes to him
26:00 - 26:30 that you know there are some people when I send they wouldn't like to go but you you didn't mind serving tables even though you had so much depth into scripture you you found yourself in Samaria look at the revival you have brought i want to trust something to you god wanted to start a missionary move he said you I can send you on a mission and you you walk away from everything because of where your heart is philillip
26:30 - 27:00 walked away from all so that is from the screen i thought it will Can you put it here if you can't put it here okay I'll stay on that that is Samaria he had to come all the way down you see where Gaza is gaza is very Look at this that's a long journey and those days they were not traveling by train so This one wasn't on the horse he was walking all the Okay but I wish I had my board [Applause]
27:00 - 27:30 here you like my [Applause] board he was in Samaria look at Look at Jerusalem this is in fact any small dot here is almost like bigger than London and for him to travel all the way through the way that goes toward Jerusalem and then the desert road to go to Gaza wow there must be a big move of
27:30 - 28:00 God there there must be great blessings and business deals and opportunity let's see so angel said move to Thank you guys move towards Gaza verse 27 and he arose and went this is an interesting guy as soon as he was told to move he arose and went he ar Let's all say he arose and went he arose and went say it again will you arise and go
28:00 - 28:30 will you arose and went one day can it be said about you that you arose and went even though where you were seems more lucrative can that be said about us oh God help us so he arose and went verse 27 and he arose and and yeah he arose and went and behold a
28:30 - 29:00 man of Ethiopia and Uno of great authority under Candace Queen of Ethiopia now a few points I want to bring to attention ethiopia there is not the same as the modern day Ethiopia ethiopia there at that time is really almost all of Sahara Africa as far as possible low so practically in the scripture anytime you see Ethiopia is the kingdom and the land of the Kush isaiah 18:1 Kush is is the
29:00 - 29:30 Kush is one of the sons of um Ham Noah's son so so it says that woe to the the land shadowed with buzzing wings which is beyond the river of Ethiopia and then yesterday's Bible reading Isaiah chapter 56 you will see Kush being represented there about four I think verse four 56 or 3 4 5 you can see Kush was mentioned there kush is actually the African or
29:30 - 30:00 the darkkinned man yeah in the Bible so anytime you come across kush in the Bible he's talking about the dark skinned man God created him to so he said get up and when when he was going he met when he he traveled Bible says that there was this is Ethiopian um Enoch now so Ethiopia first Ethiopia was south of Egypt all down there all that area was usually in Bible types called Ethiopia
30:00 - 30:30 now what's an Enoch a Uno is a man who has been um I think the the word is um not cast is castrated but there's another biblical word Deuteronomy chapter 23:1 in the New King James Version Deuteronom that's the word emasculated yeah by crashing or mutilation
30:30 - 31:00 You don't want to see New Living Translation [Applause] it's okay take it off the screen it's okay [Applause] now just for information it was a common thing in those days where some men are castrated they are called unox
31:00 - 31:30 that your the um test what produces the testosterone the hormones yeah the testicles is removed so eventually doesn't it's not anymore male so they have usually tend to have a lot of feminine features they can be very very like Rosie and you know when I was a when I was a child when I was a boy when
31:30 - 32:00 I was a boy not a child when I was a boy I told you we used to have sheep at home we had to have sheep so I was a shepherd boy so shephering started along David was a shepherd boy the only thing is the only thing is I didn't have a harp but what some of the things we used to do to the sheep is to castrate them so they become they grow very when they are uh lambs you male you castrate them take out their the testicles and they
32:00 - 32:30 can grow become very big and they but they can't produce child and Bible says that a a a uno or someone who has been castrated or emasculated should not come into the congregation of the assembly of the lord she didn't come did you see how serious God takes reproduction if they have made you fertile on purpose
32:30 - 33:00 so you can't repro because it's a sign that God likes us to reproduce anything that that's why Jesus kept the fig tree so but that's for another type so that's an eno that's very important in those days they had Enochs um to take care they are the ones who normally will take care of the queens some of them they birth the queens they take care because they are not dangerous they are sterile
33:00 - 33:30 so it's either that or some are used for rich religious purposes some are priests you know so they didn't want a priest to have any problem or anything so in not not in Israel but in the pagan territory so it was a common practice in the pagan ter so this is a uno and but this guy is not a priest this guy was a very big politician now this says that he was a great authority under candis
33:30 - 34:00 what what's candis candis was like a title given to the queen those days the Ethiopian kings the Ethiopians believe their kings came directly from their son god s u n was the son of the son god so they are not the king is not supposed to work so it's like he does he he rules but doesn't reign he's just like a ceremonial figure
34:00 - 34:30 so and it doesn't work because it's very important it's like a special person in those days and so then the queen is the one who reigns and sees to the ruling of the uh everything the kingdom and everything so he's the queen and now this that queen as soon as she become that queen you are given that title like a candis so this guy was a a big person very prominent person under the authority of candis the queen of the
34:30 - 35:00 Ethiopians and he was in charge of the treasury he was the chancellor of the checker it was a big guy big guy however something interesting about this guy was that he would travel miles about,500 miles those days on on horse and chariots and it's not the chariots to fight he's the one the carriage so it's almost like the speed of a bicycle and you are traveling let's say from here to Spain on a bicycle you
35:00 - 35:30 can tell the number of months it will take you and you see his level of devotion to go all the way to Jerusalem for worship one Bible didn't tell us whether he was a Jew or not but it was Ethiopian those days you know there are some Jews who were taken to captivity and some some some theologians believe that some of them were Jews by Ethiopian Jews many also believe that this man was like he he was not satisfied with the pagan religion he seen he wanted
35:30 - 36:00 something better just like Paul went to Mars Hill they said to the unknown God they were practicing things but they still feel felt dissatisfied nothing satisfies no religion satisfies morally no religion satisfies spiritually and no religion satisfies naturally any anytime you practice any religion you still feel a gap and something is missing until you find Jesus so this man was looking for God and he was he knew about the Jews so he
36:00 - 36:30 he practiced the he wasn't a Jew he might not be a Jew and potentially not a proelite who is a proelite a proelite is a pagan or a gentile who have converted to practice Judaism like a Jew you go through rituals but obviously because of this man's Enoch emasculation he is not likely to so when he goes to the temple obviously he can't be inside because froites are not inside
36:30 - 37:00 there's a wall so he will be on the outer side but he doesn't mind he'll travel weeks and months just to go and worship and there's what they I told you the traveling or the festivals where Jews have to travel and people travel from all over the world the Jews two of them were um um Pentecost and Passover and did you realize that Passover is 50 is 50 days away from Pentecost and that's pass Jesus was killed at Passover and then Holy Ghost came at Pentecost so
37:00 - 37:30 usually when you travel and go to Jerusalem you are likely to stay for at least 6 weeks or 7 weeks so you can enjoy Passover and also have Pentecost before you go so he spent a bit of time and he was a rich man a prominent man he was a rich man and because he he was he had now finished and so it was likely he would have been around the third time Jesus was being executed he still would have been around after the day of Pentecost around it he
37:30 - 38:00 would have been around there so he had finished worshiping or whatever he was doing if the Bible say went to worship and he was on on his way back to Ethiopia because in those days people travel to Jerusalem to go and worship acts chap 24 11 Paul said he was actually going to worship so he go they go to worship because you may ascertain that it is no small it's is no sorry it's it's no more than 12 days since I went I went up to Jerusalem to worship
38:00 - 38:30 they go they try it's common so this guy has just finished worship let's go at the text again in acts chapter is somebody learning something the bible says that verse 28 was returning and sitting in his chariot reading Isaiah there in the king James is Isaiah the prophet he was reading now this is another thing I want I want you to realize those days is not books it was scrolls and the scrolls were kept in the synagogue so yeah in a synagogue and
38:30 - 39:00 special places unless very very rich people who can afford a scroll so you can buy Isaiah you can buy Jeremiah you can buy lamentation we have got this luxury of having everything some of us now even have it on our electronic medium yeah those days it is hard to find those things you have to go and so he has bought a scroll yeah he could afford it and from Jerusalem he was busy reading and number two the way they used to read was reading aloud like I told
39:00 - 39:30 you on Thursday sometimes practice reading out loud so he was reading aloud he was reading aloud so let's look at the text again so Bible says that he was um sorry I'm just trying to get into my Bible okay was returning and sitting in his chariot reading Isaiah the prophet then this uh then the spirit said to Philillip go near and join yourself to this chariot did you see the way the spirit
39:30 - 40:00 was so influential in the in the works of the church in Acts chapter 13 as they ministered and fasted the Holy Spirit said "Separate unto me Barnabas and Saul." In fact Acts chapter 8 verse 20 39 yeah acts 8:39 his Bible said "And when they came out of the world the spirit of the Lord caught Philillip." The spirit seems to be the main brain behind everything that is working in acts you remember Acts 16 and 7 they tried to preach in the territories of
40:00 - 40:30 Galatia and when we had gone through Friia and the region of Galatia they were when they had gone through they were forbidden by the Holy Spirit and look at the next verse the next verse says that after they had come to Misia they tried to go through but but the spirit so you can see how the spirit was actually the spirit was actually the one in charge that's why when Ananas and Safira lied to Peter Peter said "You have lied to the Holy Spirit because
40:30 - 41:00 he's the main person the main controller the main brain behind church work." So this the angel this is interesting you know we didn't even explore how did the angel speak to him it's not necessary verse 27 the the angel angel from the Lord told Philillip go how did he speak to him is it vision is it dream did he see a physical person those are the things that easily the natural human nature or the human nature likes that can lead to sorcery how did he speak how did he
41:00 - 41:30 speak to him it's not necessary forget about the experiences and get the message god's message is more important so the now after angel speaking to him Bible says that the spirit also spoke to him when he got there that go run oh the spirit said to him "Go near take go near and take o over this child give me the key i prefer the kij this overtake." Okay go overtake this chariot go near and he
41:30 - 42:00 joined himself to the chariot the spirit said go was riding chariots i believe that you might believe with me that it's likely he may have a lot of bodyguards cuz to travel in that road it you might you might have bodyguards and he's a big guy but he went and I don't know all the details are not necessary scripture doesn't give it but the spirit said go near the child let's see the verse 20 the next verse so Philillip ran let's all say Philip ran philip ran the first thing
42:00 - 42:30 you have to realize is Philip went now he ran the Holy Spirit said go he ran that's what determine how successful you are in the things of God sometimes we delay sometimes we are like a dale sometimes we are maybe uh you know God is telling you to do something brother sister run there in lies your prosperity your blessings there in lies the the quality
42:30 - 43:00 of how God will manifest himself the state of our obedience the nature of our obedience will determine the the dimension or the magnitude of glory that will be lavished on us by God philip Phillip run they say he should run and he ran so you see three three key players in this text we've read so far number one is God number two is who is who i can't hear you oh are you are you are you
43:00 - 43:30 sleeping number number two is Philillip god and the Holy Spirit is the same right god angel is the supernatural and then number three is who the uno thank you some somewhere sleeping who's the one sleeping is there somebody sleeping the uno say the uno i want you to notice that the unoch was minding his business but because he was a seeker God has provoked a searching in his heart and look God went to Philillip
43:30 - 44:00 having a good time in Samaria told him travel go and meet this guy we we naturally don't go to God you know in Genesis 3 11 it was God who came and said Adam where are you adam said the woman you have eaten I call the woman then God went to Eve eve God always comes to us god came to Noah and said Noah build the ark god
44:00 - 44:30 came to Abraham abraham was living in the childishies minding his own business god came to him he didn't go looking for God god came to him noah God came to him abraham God came to him and the word of the Lord you can see all Moses was minding his own business family business he has gotten this wonderful wife and father-in-law amazing he was enjoying it and God appears to him god keeps coming god keeps coming and this Ethiopia you know it was God who sought him
44:30 - 45:00 god went to Philip said "There's somebody I want." It's not coincidence you are going on this mission because there is one person oh he's the God of the crowd and the God of the individual he's the God of the crowd he cares about the crowd what was happening in Samaria crowd at the same time there's one person somewhere in the desert road and God said "I equally care about you i'm going to reach out to you i don't know who I'm preaching to but I believe God has a plan to reach out to
45:00 - 45:30 you god has a plan to do something about your life and your ministry god reached out to this Ethiopian Union went to disrupt Philip's life it wasn't a disruption but in the natural it might look like a disruption he said go so God is a God of love he will always reach out to us he will always just to let us know he's the unchanging God he doesn't change he is merciful he is kind he is
45:30 - 46:00 good he will travel he will move any length to come and find you i know one of these days God somebody's going to have an encounter because God has found and those who take it make it a delight in fighting you God will find them god God you see trust God and leave the details to him i don't know who I'm preaching to so clearly you can see the sovereign work of God here and then you can see the
46:00 - 46:30 submissive will of the servant of God Philillip god told him go he was submissive and he went but this is all God who started it god is a mastermind he needs a submission of a servant god does not work on earth in spite of men what he wants to do in your family he wants to use you what he wants to to do in your company he wants to use you what he wants to do in that university
46:30 - 47:00 what he wants to do in that neighborhood he wants to use you what he wants to do in this generation if you are living in this generation then God is saying you are the one you are the one look at someone tell the person you are the one and so God goes to Philillip and um sends Philillip and then quickly let's look at let's look back at at the text and Philip ran verse 30 again philip ran there to him and he had him
47:00 - 47:30 read the prophet Isaiah's and said do you understand what you are reading watch this this guy is someone who definitely must have been exposed to idolatry pagan religion and all that and it's not wasn't enough so now he went towards the Jew the Jews the Jewish God cuz there's something about the Jewish God let me tell you something please this is necessary to know okay god when God called Abraham he told him in Genesis chapter 12 in you shall all
47:30 - 48:00 the families of the earth be blessed say in you in you so God clearly told Abraham and the plan of God besides watch this besides the fact that within his loins the Messiah was coming god's plan for the Jews Abraham and his descendants was to use them to spread the knowledge of God amongst other nations but the Jews went topy they either go and they don't want to have anything to do with the people
48:00 - 48:30 or they go and then adopt their gods so the Jews kept failing God because the knowledge of the Lord the oracles of God was committed to the Jews so that the wealth might be blessed through the Jews they will know more about this Jewish God they will know more about tell us about your God so God's one of the reasons why God chose the Jews is for making his the knowledge of God known to other nations but the Jews
48:30 - 49:00 failed God so when God raised the church he said I'm going to use the church to send the knowledge of myself to all the nations and so he started with sending Philillip remember he said you you shall receive a power after the Holy Spirit has come upon you shall be witness of me in Jerusalem in Judea in Samaria now we've just finished Samaria and to the uttermost part of this is the first recorded Gentile in the Bible who has not got anything to do with Jews because Samaritans are halfbridge Jews so the
49:00 - 49:30 Jews Samaritans now Gentiles are not Jews at all this is the first Gentile recorded in scripture where the m the word of God was going and thank God it was going towards the African [Applause] territory hallelujah and God reached out to this gentile man who was dissatisfied with their religion and p pagan festivals and was trying to move towards the the god of the Jews and
49:30 - 50:00 yet he had the scrolls just like the Jews in the synagogue at the time of Jesus they had the scrolls but didn't understand what they were reading they couldn't understand because Bible says that until this day when Moses is read 2 Corinthians chapter 3 a veil verse 13 and 14 a veil covers their face but verse 16 said yet nevertheless when they turn to the Lord hallelujah when they turn to the Lord the veil is taken away
50:00 - 50:30 suddenly the Bible begins to make sense Bible says in Luke chapter 23 verse sorry chapter 24 verse 54 45 Bible says and he opened their understanding wow that they might comprehend the scriptures and then Bible says look at the next verse that they might comprehend the scriptures then he said unto them it is written he was now pointing to them in scripture previously they read it couldn't see it they read Isaiah couldn't understand it the same thing was happening to this Ethiopian
50:30 - 51:00 Enoch he was reading the book of Isaiah he's invested into the scroll of Isaiah reading it but didn't understand it so Philip goes to him he said "Do you understand what you are reading?" He said he will say "No how can I how can I?" Except some man guide me oh hallelujah hallelujah that is the job of an anointed man of God an anointed Christian an anointed Christian will guide you into scripture not away from
51:00 - 51:30 scripture it doesn't matter what they do in your life if he doesn't end you up in scripture and appreciating Christ in scripture that is why the Holy Ghost came in in John chapter 16:3 he said when he come he will guide oh I feel like preaching is the same Greek word guide that was used by the Ethiopian uno how I need someone to guide me says guiding into scripture is the job of the Holy Spirit so it makes sense when the Philip was
51:30 - 52:00 full of the Holy Spirit and the Holy Spirit said ra go to the church join yourself to that chariot join yourself to that chariot not for political advantage but for gospel missions he joined himself to the chariots and heard him reading he said do you understand what you're reading how can I assist somebody explains it and he said Bible says that Philillip came to him and and then um unless someone guides me and he asked Philip come on come in come and sit down and Philip sat with him verse 32 to the the place of the scripture
52:00 - 52:30 which he was reading he was actually reading Isaiah 53 as I taught you last Thursday is the first gospel or the fifth gospel Isaiah so without Matthew Mark Luke and John somebody was still doing gospel he was still reading the gospel and that's the Bible the scripture we read this morning and he was reading from Isaiah chapter 53 and he had what the Bible talk about was the verse 7 and verse 8
52:30 - 53:00 but he wasn't only reading verse 7 and 8 he was actually reading the entirety of the scripture entireity of Isaiah 53 because Isaiah 53 talks about Jesus's incarnation it talks about Jesus's crucifixion it talks about Jesus's burial it talks about Jesus's resurrection it covers the core all aspects of the of the gospel it's all embedded there so the guy was reading it and then he says so when I um feeling came to him and he said how
53:00 - 53:30 can I understand except somebody guides me and Bible says that um he was reading the place where he said he was led as a sheep to the slaughter and like a lamb dumped before his sharers so he opened not his mouth in his humiliation his judgment was taken away and who shall declare his generations for his life was taken from the earth what the Enoch said who who is the
53:30 - 54:00 prophet talking about is it himself or somebody else those days the Jews used to believe that that was a scripture referring to them the things they go to they and some rabbis also believe that it was potentially the Messiah and others also believe that it was Jeremiah jeremiah is known as the weeping prophet so some believe maybe but they not sure so this it wasn't even a Jew now he's asking I'm reading this thing and the man who is writing he's like he's
54:00 - 54:30 writing about somebody who is but the thing is is very interesting it's not himself is it himself or somebody or somebody can you explain this to me ah hallelujah it says it says that h of of himself or someone else and then in verse 35 Bible says that then Philip opened his mouth and beginning at this scripture preached Jesus to him preached Jesus jesus is in the
54:30 - 55:00 scripture he preached that mean he didn't say Jesus but he explained and expounded the revelation about Jesus and explained how God loved us he taught him matters of faith and this man's faith came alive in Jesus he believed Jesus finally ura urea urea finally I found the missing piece of the jigsaw puzzle in my life the man found it the man found it he believed Jesus because
55:00 - 55:30 Philip preached Jesus from the text the text was the subject the text was the focus the text was the direction the text was the guide he spoke from the text not into the text he spoke from the text and Jesus emerged out of the text the man was guided by the teaching of Philillip to find Jesus bible said from that scripture so you see God was working
55:30 - 56:00 behind the scenes prepared the man's heart how come he was reading that scripture at that time prepared Philillip move Philip all god was the one working behind the scenes philip met it was it it would look like coincidence but not coincidence god Philip me met the guy and then guess what the Philip God worked behind the scenes philillip was obedient and then the man was open humble teach me and then they ended up in scripture and everything that's where
56:00 - 56:30 everything unfolds they ended up in scripture and as he preach Jesus they were going I want to run up now watch this and Philip opened his mouth and beginning at this I like that that's so powerful but because of that I don't want to be labor that beginning at this scripture that's preaching that's preaching that's preaching beginning at this scripture beginning at this scripture that's why I I found out that
56:30 - 57:00 great teachers and it's a custom of stable people churches that understand dimensions or dynamics of theology to read scripture first before preaching because the preaching is meant to explain the scripture so that's why many when you go to some of the traditional churches they will read the scripture then they try to explain the scripture read the scripture
57:00 - 57:30 most most people I mean people have different style and still go preach okay but that is why I make it my custom that when I want about to preach after we say this is my Bible I read the scripture when I finish reading the scripture all right God now let's pray God show us and then from there we go into the scripture and my responsibility is to stay on the text but sometime I get excited i've been carried off one or two times which you know already and even now as I'm
57:30 - 58:00 saying this I'm still being carried off now but stay on the scripture beginning at that scripture beginning at this scripture beginning at this scripture beginning at this scripture from the old testament he preached Christ from the old who told you he's no insider there's there's there book is a Him book is about him it's the Himbook he's there he's there peter preach from the Old
58:00 - 58:30 Testament paul preach from the Old Testament steven preach from the Old Testament all they are preaching was based on the Old Testament christ the same Christ yesterday today and forever everything the gospel is in the Old Testament galatians chapter 3 verse 8 7 and 8 talks about therefore the gospel was preached to Abraham for the scripture for seeing that God would justify Gentiles by
58:30 - 59:00 faith preached the gospel to Abraham beforehand the gospel from this scripture he preached Christ i like that from this scripture he preached Jesus philillip is a Jesus preacher oh may God make us all like Philillips and quickly look at the next verse now
59:00 - 59:30 as they went down the road there's something else that came up that they came to some water remember that's a desert area god orchestrated that they will see some water somewhere some oses must appear somewhere some because somebody's ready to walk in full obedience so as they were going watch the watch watch the text very carefully as they went down the road they came to some water and the Enoch said see here is water because it wasn't a common thing they will see here is
59:30 - 60:00 water what hinders me from be he introduced baptism that mean they were having the discourse they were having a discourse he has understood what it means to be baptized he has understood because Jesus said "Go into the world and make disciples of all nation baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you and Lord I'm with you to the end of the
60:00 - 60:30 ages." Teach them baptize so when he was see that's why don't let us move away from the word of God your breakthrough is well determined your peace is well determined your long your longevity is well determined your future is well determined keep the word as your focus and he
60:30 - 61:00 taught them about baptism jesus said baptize them and Ethiopian knew can you imagine if this man had left who was going to baptize him in the desert God made a provision and you can watch this you can imagine his excitement when he saw the water he said "See see see here is water here is water see here is water." He came he spent money buying
61:00 - 61:30 the scroll simon the Joshua wanted to spend money to buy the gift he bought the word Simon wants the gift so he didn't have a place there this man look at how the thing is ending he saw and that means baptism was so essential to the Christian life and it is jesus said baptizing them in the original Greek sounds like into the name of the
61:30 - 62:00 father the son and of the holy so we baptize we are baptized into the trinity we are baptized so what do you baptize in is we are baptized into the trinity and watch this another interesting word that is about to when you study the book of acts they baptized in the name of Jesus into the name of Jesus so they baptized into Christ galatians 3 27 see
62:00 - 62:30 how he puts it galatians 3:27 says that for let's all read out from the screen let's go [Applause] we are what baptized christ we are baptized christ did you see that you are baptized into him when you are being baptized you are being buried into him you are being put into Christ when do you bury a person it's not death and burial which one comes first
62:30 - 63:00 huh did you say burial death and burial who which one comes first so when a person dies they bury but in Christianity we are [Applause] buried we are buried in Christ we are buried in Christ we are buried in Christ so we are baptized into the trinity we are baptized into Christ and I want to submit to you Romans chapter 6 verse 4 we are baptized into his death we are baptized into his death baptized into
63:00 - 63:30 what he he says where therefore we are buried with him through baptism where it I told you baptis burial come before the death buried with him through baptism into his death 1 Corinthians chapter 12:3 it says that we are baptized by one spirit into his body one spirit for by one spirit were
63:30 - 64:00 we all baptized in now I'm drawing attention to into for God so for God so love for God so John John 3:16 my goodness for God so loved the world that he gave his his only begotten son that whosoever the original Greek is believes into him
64:00 - 64:30 you believe into him you put on Christ you are found in him paul that Paul said that I might be found in him philippians 3:9 not having my own righteous being found in him you believe into Christ so we are baptized into Christ we are baptized into the Trinity we are baptized into the body we are baptized into his death is all the same you are in Christ you are in his death
64:30 - 65:00 so he said see here is water and look at what is his his expression what hinders me from be baptized what hinders me and Philip said then Philip if you believe with all your heart that's all you requires all your heart that's it that's all it takes if you believe all your heart and he answered look at the belief that means he's been taught something deep the
65:00 - 65:30 things that no religion accept apart from our walk with God the only thing that determines whether you are saved or not is believing that Jesus is the son of God in other words believing that Jesus is God he said "You want to be baptized you got to believe that." And he answered and said "I believe that Jesus." [Music] [Applause] Shout hallelujah
65:30 - 66:00 i believe that Jesus is the son of God let's say that together i believe please say it out loud i believe some of you are not saying let's say it aloud again let's all say it i believe that Jesus is the son of God hallelujah hallelujah i believe that Jesus is a son of God
66:00 - 66:30 he's a son of God he's a son of God he's a son of God he died on the cross for me he was rejected from my forgiveness he was bruised for my iniquities the chastisement of my peace was upon him by his stripes I was healed i believe that Jesus is the son of God i believe that Jesus is the son of God i
66:30 - 67:00 [Applause] believe and he said "What stops me from being baptized?" He said "If you believe with all your heart," he said "Oh yeah I actually believe." After you explained it to me I believe that and for him to say I believe that Jesus the son of God he understood what it meant for him to be the son of God he died because we're talking about Isaiah it's more about his
67:00 - 67:30 death his crucifixion the way he suffered look at Isaiah the last verse of Isaiah 53:12 isaiah 53:12 it says that um therefore I will divide him a portion with the great and he shall divide the the spoil with the strong because he pou his soul out of death and he was numbered with the transgression and he bore the sin of many and made intercession for the transgressions he
67:30 - 68:00 bore the sins of many this must be the son of God this must be the son of God that's what determines whether you're a Christian or not not that whether you go to church or not not whether your father is a pastor or a pishop what determines whether you're a Christian is if you believe genuinely with all your heart that Jesus is the son of God the Christ the son of the living
68:00 - 68:30 let's let's finish let's give it to me let's finish you don't have to sit down if you don't want to then Philillip Then Philip said if you he said I believe look at the next verse verse 38 so he commanded the chariot to stand still and both Philillip and the Enoch went down into the water and he was baptized that tells you it wasn't water he was putting on his head some sprinkling or spraying water but they went down into the water
68:30 - 69:00 if it is praying they could have done it on the thing on a chariot they went down down going down into the water and he was baptized and look at the next verse now when they had come out of the water that mean they went into the water when they have come up thank you very much up out so they went down into baptized by me to identify with his burial so we are baptized into his death burial and resurrection and then the spirit of God
69:00 - 69:30 caught Philillip away so the Enoch should have been worried ah where's the guy no he couldn't be bothered he couldn't be bothered he couldn't be bothered oh that this is one of the reasons why you should be praying for me and pray for all genuine men of God that we don't end up trying to draw attention to ourselves we shouldn't be the center of the work of God philip left and the man was fine the man
69:30 - 70:00 was fine he has met the Jesus philip came to introduce philillip thank you so much i love you so much how beautiful are the feet of those who preach a gospel but what I found even if you are not there I always remember what you've done for me but this is this is what Jesus is enough jesus is enough for me jesus is enough for me i pray you come to church every time and find Jesus not a pastor not nice people it's good all those things but Jesus if you didn't find
70:00 - 70:30 Jesus you actually didn't come to church and you won't find Jesus if the Bible is closed from there this scripture he preached Christ and the spirit took him took um Philillip away so that the Enoch did not see him anymore but couldn't be bothered the guy you see the same thing that happened in verse 8 there was great joy in the city this man went and historians
70:30 - 71:00 Bible historians believe that all that territory became a pastor opened many branches in Ethiopia and established the Christian church in Africa wow that one man that one man you might think one thing you do for one person might be something little don't underestimate what God can use you to trigger in the start where are the Philips let the Philips arise let the Philip they are obedient servants and they don't mind
71:00 - 71:30 the sacrifices and Philip now find himself to the spirit told him to go to a place called not a not a Okay azutus he found himself in Azutus passing through listen he didn't stop preaching he preached in all the cities till he came to Cesaria that's where he settled so in chapter 21:9 verse 8 and 9 they were in Cesaria philip the
71:30 - 72:00 evangelist he had daughters the next day we went to the company of departed to and came to Cesaria and entered into the house of Philip the evangelist and now can you imagine he had seven one of the seven and he stayed there and he had daughters how many daughters four virgin daughters who prophesied yeah he was such a pure man of God his daughters were manifesting it his daughters were manifesting it he was in
72:00 - 72:30 Cesaria he has preached and that's the last time really we didn't hear much about Philip because it's not about him it's not about him it's the message he went everywhere still preaching when the apostles left Samaria they went through all the regions preaching the me the go philip 2 when they after this experience he didn't cross his leg he went everywhere preaching preaching the essence of your living as a Christian is the message of Christ and the testimony of Christ in your mouth don't be a
72:30 - 73:00 secret service Christian well I've gone way beyond my time did you receive something come on let's give Jesus praise hallelujah [Music] hallelujah what did the Ethiopian uno say before he was baptized i believe [Music] i can hear you please

74:30 - 75:00 most important trips the next the beginning of the next phase you took him to Samaria he started the work in Samaria and then you move him out from Samaria to go and start the work with the Gentiles uttermost part of the earth help us to be like Philips to arise in obedience to walk work with you and walk with you to fulfill your agenda and your purpose we thank you forgive our backs leading hearts forgive our stubborn hearts forgive our disobedience and help
