THE POWER OF TESTIMONIES
Memorise:
That I may publish with the voice of thanksgiving, and tell of all thy wondrous works. .. Psalm 26:7
Read:
Psalm 145:1-12
Message
Romans 10:17 says that faith comes by hearing God's word. Revelation 12:11 also tells us that testimonies are powerful weapons that can defeat the devil. This is why I keep sharing testimonies. I have discovered that many people don't often remember the Bible passages I quote during my sermons, but they remember the testimonies. When you look back at the things the Lord has done, you become confident that you can overcome any obstruction that may come your way.
In 1 Samuel 17:1-51, when David confronted Goliath, his testimonies gave him the assurance that he would win. He said, "The God who delivered me from the lion and the bear will deal with Goliath." God has kept you alive until now, and He will keep you unto the end, in Jesus' name.
Bartimaeus, in Mark 10:46-52, was a blind man who was begging by the roadside. He heard that Jesus was passing by and began to cry for help. How did he know that Jesus can open blind eyes? I'm sure it was because he had heard testimonies of miracles that Jesus had performed. So, when he heard that the same Jesus was passing by, he knew that his miracle had come.
Several years ago, I shared a testimony about how my wife delivered a baby naturally after she had delivered three of a our children through Caesarean Sections. The doctor had told us, "No more babies," and we agreed. Thereafter, we became born again, and one day, I read the Bible passage that says, "...with God nothing shall be impossible," and I believed it. My wife and I agreed that we would have another child, and this time, we would not involve any doctor. The baby was born safely by God's grace. I shared the testimony for the first time in Kaduna, a state in Northern Nigeria, as I preached a message titled, '10 steps to your miracle' (The original sermon note I used can be accessed in the Open Heavens International Centre). A woman who attended the programme wrote all the steps in her notebook. She had undergone two Caesarean Sections and was pregnant with her third baby. When she was about to give birth, she took the notebook and began to follow the steps. While she was still acting on the steps, the baby came.
Beloved, Jesus is the same yesterday, today, and forever (Hebrews 13:8). If you have heard someone share a testimony concerning whatever situation you are going through, have faith that your miracle will also come.
