HE will make HIS face shine upon us.

Acts 6.11, Then they secretly persuaded some men to say, “We have heard Stephen speak blasphemous words against Moses and against God.” 12 So they stirred up the people and the elders and the teachers of the law. They seized Stephen and brought him before the Sanhedrin.

Its a proven fact that information is power and power corrupts. Unless we are careful in using the information, we might end up harming some. The abuse of information takes place only due to evil and selfish intentions.  When things dont work out one adds cooked up stories to stir up the matter.

Stephen was a man of God who was doing God’s work. There were many who did not like Him. Stephen was a talented, humble and an effective person. He was all excited about ministry and did not care about those against him. So, the losers and the insecure, so called custodians of the law tried to frame charges against him to stop him from doing God’s work. But that was not enough to stop a man who was sent by God.

The enemy is insecure When you and I have a desire to serve God and make conscious efforts towards it. Thus the enemy uses people to bring our morale down and put us on the backfoot. But let us not be discouraged by such advances of the evil one. You and I will face opposition and allegations in our walk with the Lord. Let’s receive our motivation from above and not from those around. HE will make HIS face shine upon us.
