Bible Reading: Revelation 12:11
Memory Verse: And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb and by the word of their testimony, and they did not love their lives to the death. Revelation 12:11 (NKJV)
Like it or not, there are people, ministers and ministries that God has deliberately given a special mandate and commission. The testimony of a lady was told who came to a particular ministry when the devil was after her unborn child who then was in the womb. She had a revelation that if she went in for caesarean operation at child birth, either her or the child will die. Prayers were made and the evil verdict was averted to the glory of God. Psalm 79:11(NKJV) says, “Let the groaning of the prisoner come before You; According to the greatness of Your power Preserve those who are appointed to die.”
The baby came out strong, hale and hearty. Parents, we need to be wise. The circumstances surrounding some of our children should suggest to us that such a child is not an ordinary child. Guess what? This mother disconnected from the grace that brought this child, and never came to rededicate the child back to God nor share her testimony to the glory of God. Soon, the child began to fall sick and she took the child moving from one hospital to another. The consecration rites upon some children is such that they must continually remain under the anointing that brought them forth.
Dearly beloved, don’t disconnect your life from the grace that made you. What happens to a phone that says because it is fully charged, it does not need its charger again? Soon, it will run down. Return back with your testimony and sacrifice of praise and thanksgiving to the same source God used to provoke your testimony. Until then, your testimony isn’t secured. The Lord mercifully informed her to return to the altar that gave birth to her testimony. Do you know as soon as she shared her testimony and returned the child back to his source all symptoms and sicknesses disappeared? Revelation 12:11 “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.”
Furthermore, another reason why we share our testimony is to strengthen the faith of other brethren. Faith and hope is ignited when we share our testimonies with other believers.
Quote: Testimonies are letters of appreciation written to God before His people capable of converting a favour into a covenant.
Prophetic Decree: Your testimony shall not turn to a reproach, in Jesus name.
