Acts 7:44 NKJV

“Our fathers had the tabernacle of witness in the wilderness, as He appointed, instructing Moses to make it according to the pattern that he had seen,

Acts 7:44 NKJV

Stephen was sharing the truth to the religious leaders about the promises that had come to pass throughout the scriptures, leading to the death and resurrection of Christ.

Stephen pointed out a powerful truth. He shared about the tabernacle of witness that the presence of God in that tabernacle is a witness that God Almighty is their Lord and God.

It is a witness that the God of heaven made His dwelling among men on the earth. It is also a witness that man of the earth can dwell near the presence of God, and the presence of heaven.

In that tabernacle, it is the law that testifies God's ordinances, His ways and His presence.

Now in Christ we are made by God to be the tabernacle of His dwelling. We carry the law of the Spirit and life. We are carriers of His glory and power.

We are witnesses that God exists, that His presence is real, His love is sure, His word is truth, and His life is certain.

We become the answers to all the questions that are out there in the world. Stephen spoke with such wisdom that the leaders of his time could not find ways to justify their religious stand.

We, too, have the same Spirit of God that was upon Stephen. The full wisdom of God is not mere shadows of things or mere understanding of scriptures but we walk in the supernatural wisdom and power of God.

No one can deny the manifestation of the supernatural power in Stephen's ministry for he testified with such boldness.

Just as Moses built a tabernacle according to the pattern he saw. Christ had established the new tabernacle, spiritual house and dwells in every believer by the power of His Spirit.

The truth of who Jesus is needs to be revealed to the whole world. This message must reach every soul in this world, so that they can be saved and live in the fullness of God.

Let us determine in our hearts as believers of Christ Jesus to spread the gospel in whatever way we can. We can pray for souls to be saved, give for others to go and step out in faith to reach the world for Jesus Christ.

Live in the blessings,

Ps Ambrose
