As we read Acts 6:3, 8; 7:54, we are admonished to REMAIN FOCUSED.  If we were to focus on Stephen, who was a man that was focused, we would be able to see the character traits of a FOCUSED INDIVIDUAL.  See, he possessed a good reputation, a sound mind, and practicality (wisdom). We must realize that wisdom is more valuable than knowledge.  Wisdom, allowed Stephen stand in a position in which no one could compare.  Stephen was selected first because of wisdom and the acquisition of the Holy Spirit.  He was quickened by the Spirit of God, pregnant with the Spirit to edify the body and to empower the church. Therefore, rejoice if you’re quickened by the Holy Spirit.  There is also, POWER through what you are about to birth. So, you have a walk and a talk, unlike anybody else.  Revisit your Kingdom Mindset, take hold to a Godly mentality. We must be a FOCUSED as Stephen, a follower of Peter; we must make sure we are following a sure foundation.  What are you following?  What is your influence, and what are you influencing? See, when you are focused it validates who you are, and exposes everyone else.  Even if it means death you, you are FOCUSED on a HIGHER CALLING.  SO STAY FOCUS and REMAIN FOCUSED
