84 Days Of Soaring
WEEK THREE – FAITHFULNESS
DAY 21 – A Wake-Up Call
Where To Start
Read Acts 7:54-60 and then watch the DAY TWENTY-ONE video.
While they were stoning him, Stephen prayed, “Lord Jesus, receive my spirit.”
DEVOTIONAL
WEEK 3 – FAITHFULNESS
DAY TWENTY-ONE
In times of prosperity, God’s people can become sleepy. In times of persecution, God’s people often regain their focus and purpose.
The cost can be high to follow Jesus.
When one person is faithful to Jesus even to the point of death, it inspires the body of Christ. Unless a kernel falls to the ground and is buried, there will not be a fruitful harvest.
The resurrection comes after the death. Jesus only lived into his thirties. Many of God’s servants are called home at a young age. Unprecedented numbers of Christians are being killed for their faith around the world this century.
The realities of life and death, heaven and hell, good and evil all come into clarity when a loved one is no longer with us. Stephen lived with the indestructible hope of Jesus.
His death was a tragedy and a victory. God increased His hope and message among God’s people. Stephen was gone, but the church found her voice and courage. The best is yet to come.
Just Choose Hope
HOPE POINT
Persecution often brings out the best in God’s people, and the church comes to life.
REFLECTION QUESTIONS
Why is prosperity a playground for lukewarm faith?
What is the difference between cultural Christianity and Biblical Christianity?
How is God waking up His people in the chaos we see this year?
PRAYER
Merciful God, forgive those who are violent and oppose You. We want to see all people come to know You. We forgive everyone who has wronged us. In our suffering, may they see Jesus in us. We abide with You, Jesus. This world is bold about sin, but we will be bolder for You Lord. Faithfulness is our prayer in Your name, Jesus. Amen.
