SCRIPTURE READING: Acts 8:25-30 (KJV)
DCLM Daily Manna 6 April 2026 MESSAGE:
Some Christians often face a dilemma over how to navigate between the need to ensure they are not compromised by the world’s systems and practices and Jesus’ demand that they preach the gospel to every creature. Unable to find a lasting balance, they distance themselves from unbelievers, including religious people, and in the process, they become ineffective in evangelism.
Philip, who had lately had a highly successful ministry in Samaria, was suddenly given marching orders by the angel of the Lord to head quickly to the Gaza desert. He responded promptly, only to face a lonely but prominent foreign traveller, the treasurer of Candace, Queen of Ethiopia. He had come to worship in Jerusalem, in what could today be termed a pilgrimage. He was now on his way back to his country, and in his chariot, he was engrossed in the book of Isaiah. It took Philip’s prompting from the Spirit of God to approach the man in the chariot. Philip ran promptly to the man. His next move was a master stroke, as he quickly struck up a conversation with the man by questioning whether he understood what he was reading.
We must follow the leading of the Spirit of God at all times. We must also heed His instructions and guidance, even if what He asks us to do seems incomprehensible. Our responsibility is not only to the obvious sinners, but also to the religious people who possess a form of godliness even though they lack the power to live to please God. We must wisely draw near to such people to observe happenings around them, to discern their concerns and worries, and to use them as the entry point into a fruitful discussion on their need for salvation in Christ.
THOUGHT FOR THE DAY: For the believer, reaching out to the unsaved often entails going out of his way.
