Your Testimony

A very good morning to you. I greet you in Jesus’ precious name! It is Tuesday morning, the 27th of September 2022, and this is your friend, Angus Buchan, with a thought for today.

“So he looked, and behold, the bush was burning with fire, but the bush was not consumed.” 
Exodus 3:2

That was Moses when he was called by God to go to Pharaoh to tell him to let the children of Israel go. He spoke to him through a burning bush.

“Now it happened, as I journeyed and came near Damascus at about noon, suddenly a great light from heaven shone around me. And I fell to the ground and heard a voice saying to me, ‘Saul, Saul, why are you persecuting Me?’ So I answered, ‘Who are You, Lord?’ And He said to me, ‘I am Jesus of Nazareth, whom you are persecuting.’
Acts 22:6

That was the conversion of Saul of Tarsus to Paul the Apostle, probably the greatest of all the Apostles in the Bible. The power of personal testimony is huge. With a testimony, you can either believe it or reject it, but you can’t argue with it because you weren’t there. People always ask the question, especially unbelievers, “How did you meet Jesus?” What a wonderful opportunity for you and me. What an opening to be able to share the good news with the lost.

Two giants of the Bible, Moses in the Old Testament and Paul in the New Testament, had massive testimonies. Pharaoh heard Moses’ testimony, the Pharisees heard Paul’s testimony and what they did with their accounts was entirely up to them. We have an obligation and that is to tell people what Jesus Christ has done for us. We can’t force people to become Christians. We can only share our testimony and allow the Holy Spirit to move in their lives.

Demos Shakarian was a dairy farmer in America, he started the Full Gospel Businessman’s Fellowship. He would hire a very nice restaurant or a hotel and then invite famous people, astronauts, bull-riders, sportsmen, and scientists and all they would do is tell the story of how Jesus Christ impacted their lives. That movement went right around the world and many, many people came to Christ through those testimonies.

Go out today and tell people about how Jesus has impacted your life and you will be surprised how many will listen to you.

Jesus bless you and have a wonderful day.
Goodbye.
