TESTIMONY IS SIGNIFICANT

Revelation 12:11 They triumphed over him by the blood of the Lamb and by the word of their testimony; they did not love their lives so much as to shrink from death. (NIV)

This scripture refers particularly to the testimony of the Gospel of Jesus. The Lord Jesus commands us to testify about His death, burial and resurrection. -- John 15:26-27. By the blood of Jesus we have triumphed over satan, sin and the world. When we testify about Jesus' death, burial and resurrection the resultant effects and victories are manifested unto us afresh. 

That being said and explained above, testimony in Revelation 12:11 also means that we overcome when we testify about the good things He does for us. Hence such testimony is very important; you get much more than what He has done for you already when you testimony about it.

Testimony is significant. Ten men with leprosy came to Jesus and pleaded with Him to heal them. The Lord said to them "Go, show yourselves to the priests." And as they went, they were cleansed. But only one came back to testify.
Luke 17:12-14 As he was going into a village, ten men who had leprosy met him. They stood at a distance and called out in a loud voice, "Jesus, Master, have pity on us!" When he saw them, he said, "Go, show yourselves to the priests." And as they went, they were cleansed.

Testimony is praises to God. When we testify before people what He has done for us it is praises unto His Name.
Luke 17:15-18 One of them, when he saw he was healed, came back, praising God in a loud voice. He threw himself at Jesus’ feet and thanked him —and he was a Samaritan. Jesus asked, "Were not all ten cleansed? Where are the other nine? Has no one returned to give praise to God except this foreigner?"

The Lord Jesus asked about the other nine, He expected them to come back to testify. God expects our testimony. When He does something for us He expects us, first, to thank Him, secondly to tell others about it for the praise of His Name, and to inspire faith in those who heard us. Testimony is significant; testimony is a testament. Always testify.

The Lord Jesus declared words unto this man who came back to testify which the other nine didn't receive.
Luke 17:19 And he said unto him, Arise, go thy way: thy faith hath made thee whole.
Others got healed but this man got more than healing. He was made whole. Whole in this verse means total restoration and wellbeing; spiritually, materially, emotionally and prosperity. 

When you testify you get much more, so make testimony your habit. 

PRAYER

Precious Father, thank You for all you have made me and given me though Christ, and thank You for their continuous manifestation. I testify today that you have made me great, righteous, victorious, successful and prosperous by Christ Jesus. I testify of your goodness, kindness and grace in my life, in Jesus' Name. Amen!

THE WONDERS OF WISDOM Chapter 12 Episode 1

WISDOM KEEPS YOU FROM ADULTERY Nothing destroys a man or woman than sexual immorality, and more so adultery. But if you heed to wisdom it will keep you from this. As we have a wayward woman so we have a wayward man. One who leaves their partner to go after another. There is no justifiable reason for it. Don't be an adulterous woman or adulterous man.  As a woman avoid married men if you don't want to destroy your own soul. The easiest way for anyone to start his or her hell on earth is to be an adulterous person or have an affair with a married person. Why love another man's wife? Why love another woman's husband? Why? Avoid this, spare yourself doom. If you would heed wisdom it will save you from the adulterous woman or man. Proverbs 2:16-19 Wisdom will save you also from the adulterous woman, from the wayward woman with her seductive words, who has left the partner of her youth and ignored the covenant she made before God. Surely her house leads down to death and her ...

THE WONDERS OF WISDOM chapter 1 episode 1

THE BEGINNING OF WISDOM Wisdom will begin to work in and through you and produce results when you fear the Lord. Yes wisdom begin with the fear of the Lord. If you find a person who is not wise in the ways of God you find a person who has no fear of the Lord. Psalms 14:1 The fool says in his heart, "There is no God." They are corrupt, their deeds are vile; there is no one who does good. He says there is no God. He doesn't acknowledge God nor have regard for or fear of Him. Consequently he became corrupt, his deeds are vile, he does no good. Because he has no fear of the Lord. It takes the fear of the Lord to walk in the ways of the Lord. Psalms 14:2-3 The LORD looks down from heaven on all mankind to see if there are any who understand, any who seek God. All have turned away, all have become corrupt; there is no one who does good, not even one. It takes the fear of the Lord to do good. It takes the fear of the Lord to understand and seek God. If you find people who do not...

BREAKFAST WITH JESUS

BREAKFAST WITH JESUS A daily devotional Pastor Stanley 23rd DECEMBER 2023 REJOICE IN THE LORD ALWAYS Philippians 4:4 Rejoice in the Lord always. I will say it again: Rejoice! (NIV) The Apostle Paul writing to the Church in Philippi, said they should rejoice in the Lord always. He didn't say they should rejoice in themselves but in the Lord. That calls for spiritual insight.  It takes spiritual insight to see what we got in the Lord and rejoice. When you are ask to rejoice over something it means that it holds significance and value. No nobody would ask you to rejoice over something that's not to your advantage. We have everything to our advantage in Christ, and it is our responsibility to recognize them and rejoice.  Looking at your physical environment and, maybe the circumstances of your life you might have reasons to feel bad and dejected. But looking in the Lord and who you are in Him, you would find not only the glorious you but also answers to all your questions.  W...

THE WONDERS OF WISDOM Chapter 10 episode 1

WISDOM DO GOOD We already know that wisdom is known for its deeds. Wisdom is no wisdom if it is not practiced. True wisdom is practicable.  One of the marks of wisdom is good deeds. A wise man does good. It takes loyalty to wisdom (God's Word) to do good. God's Word teaches us to do good. But a foolish man withhold good.  DO NOT WITHHOLD GOOD Proverbs 3:27 Do not withhold good from those to whom it is due, when it is in your power to act. Good is an element of righteousness. Wisdom too is an element of righteousness. One of the things that sets one apart as wise and righteousness is good deeds. If you find yourself in a position to render help don't withhold it. A wise person doesn't act unbecoming.  If you find a person who hoard to himself you find a foolish person. Greed stems from foolishness; they are relatives. It is lack of understanding that leads to greed. If you understand God's wisdom; God's perspective you would give, you would do good. Wisdom does g...

THE WONDERS OF WISDOM chapter 4 episode 1

TURN YOUR EARS TO WISDOM Everyone listens to a voice or voices. Voices comes to one's mind through three main sources. The flesh, satan and God.  The flesh would speak to you based on impulses, emotions and sight. Satan deceitfully speak to people through their flesh, desire and even perversely quoting the Bible. Then God speaks to us through His Word.  None of these voices forces you to listen to or obey it. The flesh cannot force you to listen and obey its voice, satan cannot, and God would not. Listening to any voice that comes to you is a choice. Many voices may come to your ears but you would choose which to turn your ears to you.  You would hear voice of fear, doubt, failing, uncertainty, faith, assurance, victory, riches but deliberately turn your ears to what you want to hear. Instead of turning your ears to gossip turn it to wisdom. Instead of turning your ears to feelings, fears and anxiety turn it to wisdom. Don't let negative voices dominate you. Don't dwell o...
