Rhapsody of Realities 7 November 2025: Take Advantage of Soul-Winning Opportunities
SCRIPTURE: Acts 8:29 Then the Spirit said unto Philip, Go near, and join thyself to this chariot.
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 recognize 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 recognize 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.

CONFESSION
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.
FURTHER STUDY:
Acts 8:29-35
29 Then the [Holy] Spirit said to Philip, Go forward and join yourself to this chariot.
30 Accordingly Philip, running up to him, heard [the man] reading the prophet Isaiah and asked, Do you really understand what you are reading?
31 And he said, How is it possible for me to do so unless someone explains it to me and guides me [in the right way]? And he earnestly requested Philip to come up and sit beside him.
32 Now this was the passage of Scripture which he was reading: Like a sheep He was led to the slaughter, and as a lamb before its shearer is dumb, so He opens not His mouth.
33 In His humiliation [a] He was taken away by distressing and oppressive judgment and justice was denied Him [caused to cease]. Who can describe or relate in full [b]the wickedness of His contemporaries (generation)? For His life is taken from the earth and [c]a bloody death inflicted upon Him.
34 And the eunuch said to Philip, I beg of you, tell me about whom does the prophet say this, about himself or about someone else?
35 Then Philip opened his mouth, and beginning with this portion of Scripture he announced to him the glad tidings (Gospel) of Jesus and about Him.
John 4:4-14
4 It was necessary for Him to go through Samaria.
5 And in doing so, He arrived at a Samaritan town called Sychar, near the tract of land that Jacob gave to his son Joseph.
6 And Jacob’s well was there. So Jesus, tired as He was from His journey, sat down [to rest] by the well. It was then about the sixth hour (about noon).
7 Presently, when a woman of Samaria came along to draw water, Jesus said to her, Give Me a drink—
8 For His disciples had gone off into the town to buy food—
9 The Samaritan woman said to Him, How is it that [a]You, being a Jew, ask me, a Samaritan [and a] woman, for a drink?—For the Jews have nothing to do with the Samaritans—
10 Jesus answered her, If you had only known and had recognized God’s gift and Who this is that is saying to you, Give Me a drink, you would have asked Him [instead] and He would have given you living water.
11 She said to Him, Sir, You have nothing to draw with [no drawing bucket] and the well is deep; how then can You provide living water? [Where do You get Your living water?]
12 Are You greater than and superior to our ancestor Jacob, who gave us this well and who used to drink from it himself, and his sons and his cattle also?
13 Jesus answered her, All who drink of this water will be thirsty again.
14 But whoever takes a drink of the water that I will give him shall never, no never, be thirsty any more. But the water that I will give him shall become a spring of water welling up (flowing, bubbling) [continually] within him unto (into, for) eternal life.
2 Timothy 4:2
2 Herald and preach the Word! Keep your sense of urgency [stand by, be at hand and ready], whether the opportunity seems to be favorable or unfavorable. [Whether it is convenient or inconvenient, whether it is welcome or unwelcome, you as preacher of the Word are to show people in what way their lives are wrong.] And convince them, rebuking and correcting, warning and urging and encouraging them, being unflagging and inexhaustible in patience and teaching.
