Stephen – The First Martyr And A Spirit Filled Prophet-Zac Poonen by TI1919(m): 1:50pm On Jul 26, 2016 |
[size=14pt] It is written about Stephen that when he preached to the Jewish religious leaders, they could not refute the wisdom and the spirit with which he spoke (Acts 6:10). That can be our experience too, when we speak. Stephen went on to ask them, “Which of the prophets did your fathers not persecute?” (Acts 7:52). Every single prophet in Old Testament times was unpopular and persecuted. A prophet is different from a teacher. A teacher may be accepted by many, but a prophet is usually rejected and unpopular. A teacher is a non-controversial figure. A true prophet however is always controversial. So prophets are always persecuted, but not teachers and evangelists. Stephen preached in such a way that they were convicted. This made them so angry that they killed him. He was the first martyr in the Christian church (Acts 7:54, 55).[/size] http://www.cfcindia.com for more books, articles, sermons and studies by Zac Poonen |
