Acts of the Holy Spirit: Chapter 7

There is always opposition to the sharing of the gospel. Stephen was a man filled with the Holy Spirit and he had a passion to share the good news of the gospel. Our efforts to share the gospel may meet with resistance but God is blessed when we faithfully communicate the gospel through words and deeds. Stephen’s faithfulness and persistence in speaking the truth about Jesus greatly influenced Saul of Tarsus. I don’t think the Apostle Paul ever forgot the look on Stephen’s face as he was being stoned to death or the words he prayed in his dying moments, for God to forgive those who stoned him. A few days later Saul Tarsus met the Savior that Stephen had spoken about and his life was changed forever. May God use us as His faithful witnesses today as He used Stephen long ago.

Acts of the Holy Spirit - Chapter 6

The Holy Spirit is the spirit of wisdom and truth. As the number of new converts increased, the need for organization increased. The Apostles were being led by the Spirit and the Holy Spirit was providing the wisdom they needed to meet the needs of their expanding ministry. The Holy Spirit equips believers with spiritual gifts to help the church to fulfill its purpose of reaching and making disciples. It is a beautiful  thing to see God  call  believers in the church to exercise their spiritual gifts to minister through the church.
It blesses my heart to see young men and women in our church, growing in their faith, and providing leadership that our church needs. It is Acts 6 being lived out in the church all over again. Have you discovered your spiritual gift? Are you exercising your gift to bless the church? Pray for God to stir up the gift that you have received from the Holy Spirit and offer it to the Lord.
