Philip had been numbered among the seven deacons to serve tables. After Stephens nuclear sermon that brought the worst out of Saul and his cronies, the church became scattered, and now Philip became an Evangelist.
God’s Spirit was not limited to the Apostles during this unique time period, as even the deacons had became 1st century power- houses. Preaching, casting out demons, and healing, were all on the menu.
I love the fact that Philip’s part was just to proclaim Christ alone- God did the rest.
I wonder how many of us are discontent over the first assignment God has asked us to do for Him? Do we see it as insignificant, unimportant, or not fitting to our own personal visions, and ambitions?
Philip served God’s disgruntled people in the good times, and in the bad times, he was launched out by God and the circumstances, for a greater purpose. He would have never had had the anointing to do the next thing unless he was first blessed to do the first thing.
