TAKE ADVANTAGE OF SOUL-WINNING OPPORTUNITIES

NOVEMBER 7, 2025

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 eunuch. 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 Eunuch

(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 eunuch 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.
