INSPIRED BY TESTIMONIES

Text: “David said, The Lord who delivered me out of the paw of the Lion and out of the paw of the bear, He will deliver me out of the hand of this Philistine. And Saul said to David, Go, and the Lord be with you.” 1 Sam 17:37 (Amplified)

A testimony in our context today is a declaration or recognition of the acts of God in a situation or in a place. We can draw inspiration and motivation from the testimonies of others or from what God has done in our lives in the past. As David was going to face Goliath his greatest motivation was remembering how God helped him against the Lion and the bear. He was too sure that if God had done it before he can do it again. Even King Saul that was doubtful before was inspired by the testimony of David. He gave his approval for David to go on.

If you have a challenge listening to the testimony of others you’ll have a problem having your own. Instead of doubting it believe God for your own. The wise will use the testimony of others to challenge God to do the same in their lives. If something has not happen to you is never a reason to discredit what happened to someone else. Learn to celebrate God for the testimony of others and you will soon have your own. The scripture says “Rejoice with them that rejoice…” Rom 12:15.

Every testimony is a pointer to what God can do again. As Moses was going to face Pharaoh he was so fearful and full of doubts, God had to remind him that he was the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob. God was simply telling him “my help that was available for these individuals is still available for you.” (Exodus 3:6). If you listen carefully and watch closely behind every testimony is an underlying principle. God will always do the same thing for as many that will apply the same principle in their lives.

PRAYER:
Lord thank you for every testimony I have ever experienced and heard. Thank you because you can do it again.
