THIS CHARIOT!

THIS CHARIOT!

Must I Join A Chariot?
Yes, you must! The purpose for joining the chariot is to witness. Understand this, soul winning is God’s number one job. If there had been only one human being on the face of the earth, God would still have sent Jesus Christ to die for him. He didn’t do it because we were many, the number had nothing to do with it. He sent Heaven’s best, His only Son (at the time), to redeem man. What could be better than your only Son? Jesus Christ is Heaven’s best.

When the ruler of any country or nation dies, it is known everywhere in the world within twenty-four hours. But then the King of the universe died about 2000 years ago, and many people still don’t know it, because we (Christians)have not carried the news as we ought to. A lot of Christians are hooked on newspapers and football; you could call them football fanatics. But when it comes to the gospel of Jesus Christ, they don’t exhibit as much enthusiasm.

God has placed the Bible in your hands for a definite purpose. You became a candidate for the chariot when you gave your life to Jesus. You need to share the deep truths of the Bible with your friends and those you come in contact with. You have to present to them news from the Kingdom of God. When you take the Bible in the morning and you learn something from it, you ought to tell the world.

Our Lord Jesus said, “Therefore whatsoever ye have spoken in darkness shall be heard in the light; and that which ye have spoken in the ear in closets shall be proclaimed upon the housetops” (Luke 12:3). You must preach the gospel; say it out loud to somebody! Don’t look at your pastor as the only one commissioned to preach to people.

Life Manifested Through The Gospel
“Paul, a servant of God, and an apostle of Jesus Christ, according to the faith of God’s elect, and the acknowledging of the truth which is after godliness; In hope of eternal life, which God, that cannot lie, promised before the world began; But hath in due times manifested his word through preaching”(Titus 1:1-3).

Have you ever thought about God this way? He cannot lie and has manifested eternal life through preaching. The preaching of the Word is vital. That’s the only way we bring eternal life to others. We must preach the Word, because it sparks up faith. Faith comes by hearing and hearing by the Word of God (Romans 10:17).

People can only have faith for salvation when they hear the gospel; faith cannot come by signs or wonders. You do not have faith by seeing anything. You have to hear a message to have faith. There is a need for the message before faith is sparked up in the heart.

Suppose I show you a parcel; you can’t have faith just by seeing it if I don’t say anything about it. I may have to speak before you even understand that I plan to give you the parcel. The same goes for the preaching of the gospel. The preaching of the gospel is the only way a man can have faith for eternal life. He may see Jesus face to face and still not have faith. Faith can only come to you when you hear the message.

People around us who have not heard the message of Jesus Christ cannot have faith until we tell them. We must tell them about the gospel. You don’t need a pulpit to preach! Philip did not need a pulpit. God said, “Go near and join thyself to this chariot,” and he obeyed, witnessed to the eunuch and eventually led him to Christ. This eunuch became an ambassador of the Kingdom of God to Ethiopia. That was how the gospel first came to Africa.

Preach The Gospel With Gusto!
“For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness, and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation. For the scripture saith, Whosoever believeth on him shall not be ashamed.” (Romans 10:10-11).

If you’re a believer in Jesus Christ you should never be ashamed of your hope in God; you can trust Him. This is why you must stick to the Word of God. If you stick to God’s Word, you will come out victoriously no matter what happens to you in this world. God has already declared you more than a conqueror in this life. The story has already been told, the victors have been named and you’re one of them. All of those in the lineage from which you come were successful in their time, they were all victors and you are no different. Study God’s Word and discover your roots.
