Text —Act 8: 5-13

Message

Duncan Campbell said, “It is the signature of the Holy Ghost upon our work and witness that makes all the difference.” Philip, led by the Holy Spirit, preached the gospel of the Messiah in Samaria, displaying miraculous feats that captivated everyone, including Simon the sorcerer. His message of God’s kingdom and Jesus Christ led to many being saved and believers baptized, including Simon. When you are led by the Holy Spirit, like Philip, sharing the message of Jesus will have a tremendous impact on people’s lives as demonstrated by Simon’s conversion from a sorcerer to a believer. The preaching of the kingdom of God and the name of Jesus Christ will transform the people’s hearts. The Holy Spirit’s power allows believers to demonstrate God’s power through signs and wonders.

To be a spirit-led steward, you must believe in the gospel’s transformational power and experience a genuine transformation of heart and life, to become a child of God. Then you can preach the word of Jesus with boldness and humility, fully trusting in the power of the Holy Spirit for the miraculous.
