And The Son Stood...

AND THE SON OF GOD STOOD

Not too much was said of Stephen in the scripture, neither was there much in the mind of the disciples who chose the seven, other than to serve tables (Acts 6:1-3).

However, only this faithful one saw the son of man STANDING at the right hand of God (Acts 7:54). Jesus stood to receive this beloved and perhaps to defend him as we see him later begging Jesus not to deal with the people according to their sins(vs. 60).Remember who else made a similar statement? JESUS Himself did on the cross.

What was in Stephen that made the difference? Why did he have such a heart? What made his face shine like an angel (Acts 6:15)? What made his wisdom irresistible? What made the Father stand for him?
It was recorded of Stephen that he was a man FULL OF FAITH and THE HOLYSPIRIT (Acts 6:5; 7:55).These two cannot be over emphasized in this RACE we run. You needn't be a pastor, remember Stephen a man called to simply serve tables did great wonders and signs.

The Holy Spirit has been given to us by the Father, while some have failed to receive Him; some who have received Him have failed to fully utilize Him. In Acts 19:2, it says 'have ye RECEIVED the holy ghost since you believed?' Note, not have you been given but have you 'received' Him? The Holy spirit is a GIFT from the father received only by FAITH...

POWER POINT
You can receive and re activate the Holy Spirit and His operations in your life. Simply BELIEVE and Access it.

Think, Believe and...

THINK, BELIEVE AND BECOME

Yes, there exist several demons, but the greatest and most powerful demon is the one on the inside, found in our thoughts 'Negative thoughts'.
Our thoughts go a long way in shaping and molding our lives. Proverbs 23:7a "For as a man thinks in his heart, so is he...”

Let me share this poem from Napoleon Hill's book "Think and grow rich"
If you think you are bitten, you are.
If you think you dare not, you don't
If you want to win but you think you can’t, you won't.
If you think you will lose, you are lost.
For success begins with a fellow's will and it’s a state of the mind...
The man who wins is the man who thinks he can.
YOU CAN... SIMPLY BELIEVE.

God had a lot in mind when he created you, don’t think less of yourself. He has given us all we need: the HOLY SPIRIT (Joel 2:28), GRACE (2 Cor. 12:9), WISDOM (Job 32:8), POWER (John 1:12), His DIVINE NATURE (2 pet 1:3-4), DOMINION (Gen. 1:26) and He blessed us with His own breath.
It is obvious we already have all we need.

In conclusion, Jer. 29:11 "For I know the thoughts I have towards you says the Lord, thought of peace and not of evil to give you an expected end.”(NKJV)

If God Himself has such great thought concerning you, DON'T DO LESS.
Cheers!!!!
