Stephen a fearless soldier delivers his last message right before his murderers.
He has pledged his allegiance to Christ, not even death could threaten his decision for God.

Stephen took his stand to declare the gospel, without the fear of death. As a soldier, death was part of his contract, faithfulness was his part to play.
Faithful till death Stephen stood before God.
We have denied severally God over little trials, this is for us to review our commitment and stand in Christ.
