SEE, HERE IS WATER! - Ready For The Taking Series 007
"And as they went on their way, they came unto a certain water: and the eunuch said, See, here is water; what doth hinder me to be baptized?"
It is good to have ears all around you. If not, certain opportunities will just pass you by. The story that revolves around this saying is a very popular one.
An angel prompts Philip to go and stand in the way that leads to Gaza. Philip doesn't know what God seeks to bring from that. On getting there, the Spirit speaks to him, go and join yourself to this chariot.
Acts 8:29, KJV
"Then the Spirit said unto Philip, Go near, and join thyself to this chariot."
In that chariot is the Ethiopian Eunuch who has come to Jerusalem to worship. However, he's still not born again and he's almost slipping away again before the Lord initiated a recovery mission to get him born again. God could see that he's feeling after Him. As a matter of fact, when Philip was about to join him, he heard him reading the book of Isaiah. God does all things well and an opportunity immediately is opened for Philip to join him because he couldn't grasp what he was reading. So, he needed an interpreter. He needed a preacher. This confronts us with the importance God places on his ministers. Without a preacher, how shall people hear the good news? The Bible then records that from that same part of the Bible that the eunuch reads, Philip preached Jesus to him.
That's how vast every minister or preacher of the gospel should be. There shouldn't be a part of the Bible from which you cannot preach Christ to the people. Jesus is the centrality of the gospel and if light dawns on you, you'll see Him everywhere because both the prophets and the law testify of Him.
But as they journeyed on together in this eunuch 's chariot, they chanced on water and the eunuch gave a shout. "See, here is water! What hinders me from being baptized?" This man could see what we can call, "his divine moment."
In essence, the Ethiopian Eunuch was saying, "let me seize the moment. Don't let this opportunity pass me by. If this is water, should anything stop me from being baptized?"
Immediately, he was baptized because he believed that Jesus is the son of God! Today, God is looking for those who'll seize the moment likewise. God is searching for the heart with recognition of what's next, what's ordained and who won't let it slip. There's something special about this eunuch. He has eyes for opportunities and he doesn't let it slip. When he sees that this is water, he immediately seeks to fulfill what it can do for him.
When you see the opportunity that you should take, may you not sleep nor slumber. May you also call out and say, "see, here is water. What stops me from being baptized?" As that will apply to your case, may you fulfill it.
PRAYER: I carry sensitivity for recognition of divine moments and the taking of opportunities.
