Theme of the Month: The Secrets of God’s choice
Wed, 14 September

“And Stephen, full of faith and power, did great wonders and miracles among the people… and they were not able to resist the wisdom and spirit by which he spake”. (Acts. 6:8,10).

This passage in Acts, however, shows how you and I can be chosen for heavenly fame and an eternal name. For example there may be some believers living in a village and you go there and ask: ‘Do you know Subbarao?’ and they will reply: ‘No!’ Though it is only a small village there are few who know his name. How different things are when such a man is chosen of God. Then you could go to heaven and ask any angel: ‘Do you know Subbarao?’ and he would say: ‘Yes, I know him very well.’ ‘How do you happen to know him?’ ‘He has been chosen by our heavenly king, and our king Himself has told us of His choice.’ Upon earth a man may be nothing, but when he is chosen by God he will be acknowledged with joy and gladness by the heavenly host. The pity is that there are so few believers who are willing to be His chosen vessels.

You may indeed be a fine Christian. Your standards may be high. But God wants more than that. He loves you; He bought you by His blood, so as to make you His chosen vessels, His peculiar treasure, His vineyard. His co-worker, and His eternal partner. The first essential thing is to be like Stephen, not working for the sake of position. There are some people who, if you give them some position, will work day and night; but if you do not give them a position, will hang back and do nothing. They are only working for a name. but we are told that Stephen did not work for honour or position. He worked quietly and lovingly.
