Git'er done

Larry the Cable Guy always sayz,  'git'er done.' That's his way of saying he wants to accomplish what he set out to do and he wants to complete that job right.  Many Christians want to be used of God.  For them it is not enough just to know they are on the Christain pathway, they want to be faithful and effective. The question for them is How? Where do we start? What is involved to 'git'er done'? The first answer can be found by looking at the life of Philip, who introduced the Ethiopian official to Jesus Christ in Acts 8:26-38.
There are five easy "to see keys" as to how he did it. Lets look and see:

First, He trusted God. God SOVEREIGNLY worked out all the details involved in Philip's effective witness to the Ethiopian. He will do the same for you.
Second, Philip's LIFE witnesssed to Jesus Christ.  He was chosen as a worker in the early church because of his character (Acts 6:3-5).  A good life not only glorifies God but is a powerful witness to the world.  Our lives should demonstrate that we know Him.
Third, we find the HOLY SPIRIT vitally involved in Philip's life and ministry.  "The Spirit told Philip, 'Go to that chariot and stay near it'" (Acts 8:29). The Holy Spirit is the One who makes our lives attractive (Galatians 5:22-23). He is our Teacher and Guide.  He gives us boldness and courage to witness.  Our responsibility is to be yielded fully to all the wonderful resources of the Holy Spirit.  Philip was led to someone already prepared.
Fourth, look at the important part the SCRIPTURES play in telling another person about Jesus Christ. The Ethiopian was reading Isaiah 53 and asked Philip to explain the passage.  Philip took the same passage, which deals prophetically with the crucifixion, and "told him the good news about Jesus" (Acts 8:35). Philip knew the Scriptures and was prepared to explain the good news of the Gospel.  If we are going to be effective Christians, we too must gain a working knowledge of the Scriptures to help others.
Fifth, the Bible is a record of God working mightily in and through the lives of ordinary people.  Our responsibility is to step out in FAITH and trust God to use us.
So there you have it.  This might help you to go out there and , 'git'er done'.
