YOUR VOCATION—A PLATFORM TO REACH OTHERS

NOVEMBER 8, 2025

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.

PRAYER

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.
