On your way home

Acts 8:25
“When they had testified and proclaimed the word of the Lord, Peter and John returned to Jerusalem, preaching the gospel in many Samaritan villages.”

So they had a great time in the city of Samaria. They had met Philip and seen the great things God was doing. Many people were converted, delivered and healed. They preached and the Spirit moved amongst the people. But now it was time to go home. They would report back that indeed the move of the Spirit was accurate and genuine.
But on the way home they continued preaching the gospel in the villages.
1. The cities need Christ but so do the villages.
Recently I advised a leader of our denomination in an African country not to look at village work as inconsequential, inferior to city work. People in villages need Jesus. Not just the finance business sector, but the poor and working class who often live in the villages (other than in the UK where the reverse is true!) On your way home don’t forget those people that can be overlooked by others.
2. You never stop working for Jesus. Even on your way home today. On the bus, walking past the same shops, saying hello to the same neighbours, opportunities await for you on your way home.
3. Who does God call you to? Some people feel they have specific ministries to a certain people group and I understand this. But the answer to that question is really another question: Who is there? Who is in front of you? Sometimes God has people ready for you for the return journey. For them it can be all about you on your way home.
