What Will Be Your Destiny

Acts 7:49-50  "Heaven is my throne, and earth is my footstool: 

what house will ye build me? saith the Lord: or what 

is the place of my rest? Hath not my hand 

made all these things?" 

   The speech of Stephen begins to accelerate, and by implication it has been condemning the attitude of the Jews; He speaks of the continued disobedience of the people. In the days of Moses they rebelled by making the golden calf. In the time of Amos their hearts went after Moloch and the star gods. Stephen reminds them that they have had the most amazing privileges. They have had the succession of the prophets; the tent of witness, so called because the tables of the Law were laid up and kept in it; the Law which was given by angels. 

   Let's put things together here; continuous disobedience and continuous privilege. The more privileges a man has, the greater his condemnation, "if" he takes the wrong way. Stephen is saying that the condemnation of the Jewish Nation was, because in spite of the fact that they had every chance to know better they continuously rebelled against God. Has much changed? No! It is not Just the Jewish Nation, I am speaking of the entire World. So This statement applies to all: The more privileges a man has, the greater his condemnation, "if" he takes the wrong way. 

   Stephen tells them they have limited God. The Temple which should have become their greatest blessing was in fact their greatest curse; they had come to worship it instead of worshiping God. Does that still go on today in our Church's Temples and Mosque? Yes it does because of  socialism. We get involved with only our Church circle and social media, and a lot of times God is not involved. 

   My Friends, We need to check ourselves and stop serving the evil of socialism and the media, and turn to The God of all men whose dwelling was and is the whole universe. It is a sorrow to see people who have refused the destiny that God offered them. Eternal Life!

Amen!
