you things to come.

spake unto Philip, saying, Arise, and go toward the south unto the way that
goeth down from Jerusalem unto Gaza, which is desert.
[27]And he arose and went: and,
behold, a man of Ethiopia, an eunuch of great authority under Candace queen of
the Ethiopians, who had the charge of all her treasure, and had come to
Jerusalem for to worship,
[28]Was returning, and sitting in
his chariot read Esaias the prophet.
[29]Then the Spirit said unto
Philip, Go near, and join thyself to this chariot.
[30]And Philip ran thither to him,
and heard him read the prophet Esaias, and said, Understandest thou what thou
readest?
[31]And he said, How can I, except
some man should guide me? And he desired Philip that he would come up and sit
with him.
[32]The place of the scripture
which he read was this, He was led as a sheep to the slaughter; and like a lamb
dumb before his shearer, so opened he not his mouth:
[33]In his humiliation his
judgment was taken away: and who shall declare his generation? for his life is
taken from the earth.
[34]And the eunuch answered
Philip, and said, I pray thee, of whom speaketh the prophet this? of himself,
or of some other man?
[35]Then Philip opened his mouth,
and began at the same scripture, and preached unto him Jesus.
[36]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?
[37]And Philip said, If thou
believest with all thine heart, thou mayest. And he answered and said, I
believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of God.
[38]And he commanded the chariot
to stand still: and they went down both into the water, both Philip and the
eunuch; and he baptized him.

in weakness. Most gladly therefore will I rather glory in my infirmities, that
the power of Christ may rest upon me.
[10]Therefore I take pleasure in
infirmities, in reproaches, in necessities, in persecutions, in distresses for
Christ's sake: for when I am weak, then am I strong.

time of need.

* II Corinthians
1:4-10 ) [4]Who
comforteth us in all our tribulation, that we may be able to comfort them which
are in any trouble, by the comfort wherewith we ourselves are comforted of God.
[5]For as the sufferings of Christ
abound in us, so our consolation also aboundeth by Christ.
[6]And whether we be afflicted, it
is for your consolation and salvation, which is effectual in the enduring of
the same sufferings which we also suffer: or whether we be comforted, it is for
your consolation and salvation.
[7]And our hope of you is
stedfast, knowing, that as ye are partakers of the sufferings, so shall ye be
also of the consolation.
[8]For we would not, brethren,
have you ignorant of our trouble which came to us in Asia, that we were pressed
out of measure, above strength, insomuch that we despaired even of life:
[9]But we had the sentence of
death in ourselves, that we should not trust in ourselves, but in God which
raiseth the dead:
[10]Who delivered us from so great
a death, and doth deliver: in whom we trust that he will yet deliver us;
* God is always ready to give the servants of perfect strength to face
all the challenges they face in the Ministry of the Lord.
( I Peter 5:10 ) [10]But the God of all grace, who
hath called us unto his eternal glory by Christ Jesus, after that ye have
suffered a while, make you perfect, stablish, strengthen, settle you.
* God prepare the servants of perfect peace in times we face trials and
troubles in the Ministry of the Lord.
*( Philippians 4:7-9
) [7]And the
peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds
through Christ Jesus.
[8]Finally, brethren, whatsoever
things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just,
whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are
of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on
these things.
* The Grace of God is sufficient we can rest assured of God's perfect
support to the Missionaries of the Lord Jesus Christ. Amen and amen

at that day: and not to me only, but unto all them also that love his
