Rev 12:11 says “And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb, and by
the word of their testimony; and they loved not their lives unto the death.”
In my little journey on earth as a Christian, I have come to see that
testimony is one area of our journey that keeps us going. Testimonies are
evidence that there is a God who is truly ready to help us at any point in
time.
One person that was able to use this to his advantage greatly was King
David in the book of 1Samuel 17. Verses 34 – 36 read “And David said unto Saul,
Thy servant kept his father's sheep, and there came a lion, and a bear, and
took a lamb out of the flock: And I went out after him, and smote him, and
delivered it out of his mouth: and when he arose against me, I caught him by
his beard, and smote him, and slew him. Thy servant slew both the lion and the
bear: and this uncircumcised Philistine shall be as one of them, seeing he hath
defied the armies of the living God.”
The first thing that David did was to recall all that God has done for
him, and this way he was encouraged well enough to trust in the same God to
help him defeat Goliath. What we believe tend to be a factor that determines
what we achieve.
When we recall to our memories what things God has done for others, it
has a way of energizing or empowering our faith in the same God to even do much
more for us. Having heard testimonies of how God blessed people has made me to
also know Him as a giver and the One that blesses.
A woman said she started buying baby materials after hearing the
testimony of a 55 year old woman giving birth because the testimony made her understand
that barrenness was never her portion.
As you key into the testimonies of others, God Almighty will do so
much more for you in Jesus Name. Amen!
