The power of faith

Lessons from Stephen

“How Trusting God’s Strength Leads to Miracles”

The powerful message of Acts 6:8

“And Stephen, full of faith and power, did great wonders and miracles among the people.”

In the book of Acts, Stephen emerges as a prominent figure in the early Christian community. He was one of the seven chosen to serve in the ministry of distributing food to widows.

However, Stephen’s impact extended far beyond this practical service. His life exemplified faith, courage, and the supernatural power of God.

Faith and power
Stephen was “full of faith and power.” This combination is significant. Faith is our trust in God’s promises, while power refers to the Holy Spirit’s enabling strength. When these two converge, remarkable things occur.

As believers, we are not meant to operate in our own strength alone. Stephen’s faith allowed him to tap into the divine power available to him.

Wonders and miracles:
Stephen’s faith-filled life resulted in “great wonders and miracles.” These were not mere tricks or illusions; they were supernatural interventions that defied natural laws.

His ministry impacted people’s lives, demonstrating God’s love, healing, and deliverance. Stephen’s miracles were evidence of God’s presence and authority.

Overcoming Fear and Negativity:
Fear and negativity can hinder our effectiveness. Stephen’s unwavering faith allowed him to rise above these obstacles.

When we focus on God’s power rather than our limitations, fear loses its grip. Negativity fades when we fix our eyes on the One who holds all things together.

Courage in action:
Stephen’s courage was not passive. He actively engaged with people, sharing the gospel fearlessly.

We, too, can step out in faith, knowing that God’s power accompanies us.

Whether it’s speaking truth, showing kindness, or praying for the sick, courage is essential.

Believe and act:
Stephen’s life challenges us to believe in God’s power and act accordingly. Our faith should lead to action, not passivity.

What wonders and miracles might God accomplish through us if we fully trust Him?

Reject fear:
Fear often paralyzes us. Stephen’s example encourages us to confront fear head-on.

When fear whispers doubt, remember that you are empowered by the same Spirit that worked through Stephen.

Be courageous:
Courage is not the absence of fear but the decision to move forward despite it.

Take hold of your faith, embrace God’s power, and step into the miraculous.

Stephen’s life reminds us that faith and power are a dynamic duo. When we yield to God’s strength, we become vessels for wonders and miracles.

Let us follow his example, trusting in the One who can do exceedingly abundantly above all we ask or think. 🙏✨
