STUDY: JOIN THIS CHARIOT by Pastor Chris Oyakhilome DSc. D.D
3 Excerpts from Chapter one
Excerpt 1
Chariots!
Chariots represent the vehicles of life, and the word vehicle' here does not only refer to cars, buses and airplanes. There are different types of chariots. Some carry your body like the aplane, while some others carry your ideas, talents, skills and character. A vehicle is that which provides for you an avenue of expression, physically, mentally or in any other way. It brings you in contact with other people, and to some extent detines your scope ot contact. Hence, there are business and professional vehicles. If you work in a bank, the bank is your vehicle. If you are a student, your school is your vehicle for as long as you are a student. These are the vehicles of life.
...
Can God send you to a chariot and believe that you will not go out there just for the chariot but for the real treasure in the chariot? Souls of men are very vital to God and you should be like-minded. God trusted Philip that he would do what He wanted him to do in the chariot. Let God trust you too.
The preaching of the gospel is committed to our trust it is not optional. It is not only for the evangelist like we have thought in the past; we have even taught this in the Church. We expect pastors to be the ones preaching because
we don't have much time due to our business. But this is wrong God already sent you into a chariot, this is why you are on the job. Don't get so busy that you don't notice the treasure in the chariot. Your office is your chariot. You may say that everybody in your office is a Christian, but this does not make any dıtference, you must share the gospel.
You must work hard to remain in the chariot God has sent you to join. If you are careless on the job, that will not be a good testimony and you may have to leave the job if you don't improve. Whether it is your private business or not, if you are out of business, you are out of the chariot. So you must do well in your job or business because it keeps you in the business chariot and you can keep on winning people to Christ.
