How Did He Do That?
How Did He Do That? From the life of Stephen, Acts 6, 7 “I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.” Philippians 4:13 It is important that we take a deep look at our lives and recognize what priorities drive us, what conclusions we arrive at, how we arrive at them, and vast difference between intention and reality. “We’ve read all the books and we still don’t do what we know we should.” 1. Stephen’s strong point was not what he could do, rather that the Holy Spirit was absolutely central in him. 2. His ministry was not a place of personal fulfillment; rather it became yet another platform for him to show the reality of the risen Christ. 3. Stephen did not ask “Where is God now that I need Him?” 4. Stephen was a giver. He showed us that the closer we get to God it is not so much a matter of what we give, rather it becomes an issue of what we no longer want to keep. 5. Stephen’s life disintegrates while God watches and he is OK with that.
