God gave Stephen the power to work great miracles and wonders among the people. But some Jews from Cyrene and Alexandria were members of a group who called themselves "Free Men." They started arguing with Stephen. Some others from Cilicia and Asia also argued with him. But they were no match for Stephen, who spoke with the great wisdom that the Spirit gave him.
Acts 6:8-10
Powerful speakers today sometimes use a device called a “Teleprompter.” It is a clear screen that displays the words for the man to read, but the words cannot be seen by those in the audience. Some people who are considered to be “great orators” are “ordinary and uninspiring" without a teleprompter.
As a follower of Jesus Christ you are promised a teleprompter called the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit will give you wisdom as you proclaim the message of Jesus. He can even give you the exact words He wants you to use.
When you depend on the Holy Spirit as you tell about Jesus you will discover that your words will have great power as they impact those who listen!
So today as you have opportunity to proclaim the message of Jesus, look for the Holy Spirit to give you the Words to say! Then your proclamation will be like Stephen as you impart “Great Wisdom” from God!
