This morning I want to point out to you the 6 ways that God arranged the circumstances which led Philip to this man, and Philip’s being able, then, to lead him to Christ, and to baptize him, and his being able to return to his own country to serve God there. 1st – An angel directed Philip to the place, and to the man, that he wanted him to speak to. 2nd – God worked preveniently (He worked beforehand) in this man’s heart so that he desired to read the Scripture. 3rd – The Holy Spirit deliberately brought about the meeting of Philip and this Ethiopian man. 4th – The Lord, the Spirit, directed this man to read in a particular place in the Scripture at the very time that he met Philip. 5th – The Lord so worked in this man’s heart that he desired to be baptized immediately, once he had believed the word. And 6th – The Spirit made the arrangements of what both Philip and the Eunuch would do following the baptism; where they would go and what they would do. In showing you all of these things, it is my hope that you yourself will learn to trust the Lord to lead you and guide you into all the truth concerning salvation and how you might be more useful to Him for service in the future.
