Have you ever walked away from a conversation and thought, “That wasn’t random. That was God.” Maybe it started with small talk about work or the weather but somehow, it turned toward hope, healing, or even Jesus. What if those moments weren’t interruptions but invitations from God? Today, we’re diving into how to live on mission in your everyday life, and how to see every conversation as a divine appointment.
What is a Divine Appointment?
- Any God -ordained moment when he brings two people together to encourage, bless, or share the Gospel.
- We usually miss these opportunities because we’re busy and distracted.
- God is always at work, before us, around us, through us, and He often speaks through those ordinary moments with extraordinary intention.
Phillip the Evangelist (Acts 8):
- Philip obeys because he’s not just busy for God, he’s sensitive to God.
- You can be doing ministry and still miss the mission if you aren’t listening to His Spirit.
- Develop a holy attentiveness to the what the Spirit is doing around you; be on the lookout.
“When you’re looking, you’ll start seeing.”
Engaging in Spiritual Conversations:
- Philip doesn’t lead with a sermon or a theological argument; he simply asks a good question.
- You don’t need a seminary degree to engage in spiritual conversation.
- You need a heart of compassion, a spirit of curiosity, and a willingness to speak when the Holy Spirit prompts you.
- When God prompts you to speak, trust that He is already working in that person's life.
“Don’t discount the value of your obedience just because you don’t see immediate results.”
The Legacy of Charlie Kirk:
- Charlie was committed to engaging the culture with the truth of Scripture, even amidst hostility.
- You’re either shaping culture, or being shaped by it.
- The Gospel isn’t just something we preach in church; it’s the lens through which we see everything.
"Truth sounds like hate to those who hate truth."
Having a Sense of Urgency
- Philip didn’t delay; he acted immediately.
- A simple question can lead to a divine encounter that transforms someone’s life.
- There are over two billion people in the world who have never heard the gospel.
- 82% of people say they would attend church if someone invited them.
“We aren’t lacking opportunity. We’re lacking urgency.”
How Do I Start Living on Mission?
- Pray for one divine appointment every day.
- Be mindful and willing to follow the prompting of the Spirit.
- Ask questions.
- Share your story.
- Lead someone through Christ Killers book.
- Leave the results to God.
Bottom Line: When you live on mission, there's no such thing as random. When you obey the Spirit, even small conversations can carry eternal weight.
