Acts 6 – Yield Yourself to God!

 

When you yield yourself to do God’s will, you never know what challenges you will face.

No ministry is unimportant for a Christlike servant, for Jesus said, “I am among you as the One who serve” (Luke 22:27). In serving tables, the men released the apostles for their ministry of prayer and the Word; and the result was an increase in conversions. People filled with the Spirit see no small jobs or big places. They see only their Master and the opportunity to glorify Him.

From serving tables to doing miracles! Stephen reached out to the lost and sought to win them to Christ. He was an eloquent defender of Jesus. If you are faithful with a few things, the Lord may give you many things (Matt. 25:21).

The unbelievers treated Stephen the way the Sanhedrin treated Jesus; they arrested him on trumped-up charges and hired false witnesses to testify. Stephen experienced “the fellowship of His sufferings” (Phil. 3:10), and so will you if your witness hits home (Matt. 5:11-12). They said Stephen was opposing Moses, but he had a shining face just like Moses (Exod. 34). Those who are filled with the Spirit of God usually reflect something of that reality in their faces.

The church’s job is not only to create converts but to make disciples who teach each other and share their faith. God honors His Word, and it produces His result (Isa.55:11; Heb. 4:12).
