Good morning everyone!
Awesome morning!
Awesome day full of God's grace!
Don't judge the day by it's condition; let the condition in you (that is Jesus) reign.
Believe it and receive it!
Acts 7:54-60(NLT)
54 The Jewish leaders were infuriated by Stephen's accusation, and they shook their fists at him in rage. 55 But Stephen, full of the Holy Spirit, gazed steadily into heaven and saw the glory of God, and he saw Jesus standing in the place of honor at God's right hand.56 And he told them, "Look, I see the heavens opened and the Son of Man standing in the place of honor at God's right hand!"
57 Then they put their hands over their ears and began shouting. They rushed at him58 and dragged him out of the city and began to stone him. His accusers took off their coats and laid them at the feet of a young man named Saul.
59 As they stoned him, Stephen prayed, "Lord Jesus, receive my spirit." 60 He fell to his knees, shouting, "Lord, don't charge them with this sin!" And with that, he died.
Acts 8:1 (NLT)
1 Saul was one of the witnesses, and he agreed completely with the killing of Stephen.
Co-signing…
In case some of you are not too sure what the definition of this powerful word is…
It is a verb; a word of action. Meaning to sign a document or to agree with another person or group of people assisting or helping make a point.
A participate...
Some examples would be:
- being the secondary signer on a car loan - agreeing that if the primary signer does not make the payment, you will
- riding with or keeping company with an individual or group of people that may be engaged in illegal activity
- standing by, just watching and or listening to others gossip, bad mouth, or physically and or verbally abuse another
And many other examples; what are yours?
We have to be very careful what we agree with; whether you realize it or not, you are accountable and involved…
It's called being a witness.
What will you witness to!?
What will you agree with; co-sign!?
How about:
- God so loved the world that he gave His only Son as a sacrifice to save you and I - John 3:16
- Greater is He that is in you than he that is in the world - 1 John 4:4
- Jesus is the light of the world - John 8:12
Then stand in Holy boldness (for the Good that is God) as the three Hebrew boys did in Daniel 3 and Stephen did in Acts!
2 Corinthians 6:14(NLT)
14 Don't team up with those who are unbelievers. How can righteousness be a partner with wickedness? How can light live with darkness?
