Missionary power and wisdom: the power to get you through and to know how.
Acts 7
When there is no way God will make a way. Through success and failure, a number of options to no options, ill health, redundancy, divorce, heartache after heartache, God will bring you through.
v9 “Because the patriarchs were jealous of Joseph, they sold him as a slave into Egypt. But God was with him and rescued him from all his troubles”.
And Stephen knew God was giving him the power to get through his trial.
But God also gave him His wisdom.
To be full of wisdom is to know the God of new ideas.
Stephen was able to see what God had done. He would in his trial clearly explain through biblical history God’s plan of salvation.
The religious could not change and embrace Gods salvation through Jesus.
How flexible are you? Would you hear God’s still quiet voice tell you to do something completely different to what you were expecting Him to say?
Power and wisdom are both needed. One without the other leads mission to fail.
