STEPHEN: A man full of faith and of the Holy Spirit - part 2
Good day, how was the last blog post?, Please comment are always welcome, you can always comment on the blog or inbox me directly.
Let's move on today about Stephen: A man full of faith and of the Holy Spirit and his impacts.
Another emphasis was in verse 8 of Acts 6.
Another emphasis was in verse 8 of Acts 6.
NIV:Now Stephen, a man full of God’s grace and power, performed great wonders and signs among the people.
Stephen on account of the fullness of God's grace and power in him, did great wonders and miraculous signs. Not with pride, how do we showcase God's grace and power in our own lives? Or we tend to live a normal Christian life without grace and power?
On account of his enablement to perform signs, opposition arose but the Bible said
NIV:But they could not stand up against the wisdom the Spirit gave him as he spoke.
Stephen has not been speaking of himself neither has he been doing things on his own, this made men not to stand against him. But I will like to ask you words and the wisdom you claim to have is of who? God or self?
These men are desperate to seize him, so they are left with no choice than to produce false witness just because the words of Stephen is of a true God.
Do we remember Moses and the veil, when he went upto the mountains to meet God and came down with a shining face that no man's eyes could behold?, Similar thing happened to Stephen in front of the Sanhedrin. The Bible said
NIV:All who were sitting in the Sanhedrin looked intently at Stephen, and they saw that his face was like the face of an angel.
This was also as a result of God's grace, power and fullness of the Holy Spirit, I suppose. The challenge remains, how much of this grace and power do we possess?
I suppose this will propel us to pray and cry more for God's grace and power on our lives, and even more of the holy Spirit.
