ALWAYS COME BACK TO TESTIFY
Luke 17:15 One of them, when he saw he was healed, came back, praising God in a loud voice. (NIV)
The account of the ten lepers recorded for us in Luke 17 verse 12 to verse 19 teaches us the importance and blessing of testimony. When some have received from God they never thought it wise to come back and share their testimony. You can't see God physically and testify to Him. When He blessed you or ministered to your need He used someone. You can go back to that person to share your testimony also.
Ten men who had leprosy came to Jesus to be healed. He gave them instruction to go to the priest, on their way to the priest they got healed. One of them, just one came back to testify. He knew God did it, and also knew He used Jesus. So he thought it wise to testify before Jesus.
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.
Don't say I have thanked God and testified before Him. Don't thank God in private for what He used a man to do for you in public. Share your testimony with the man, and praise God before him so he too can thank and praise God with you.
One of them came back to Jesus to testify.
Luke 17:15-19 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?" Then he said to him, "Rise and go; your faith has made you well."
He who testifies about little things will also testify about big things. It's about the state of one's heart not the magnitude of what has been done for him. To be healed of leprosy is a very big miracle to be thankful for and testify about yet the other nine didn't. It was about the state of their hearts. Examine the state of your heart. Cultivate a thankful and grateful heart. No matter how seemingly insignificant what the Lord has done for you learn to testify to God before those He did it or through whom He did it. This is very important; always come back to testify.
PRAYER
Precious Lord I want to say thank You for all you have been doing and still doing in my life. Thank You for healing, divine health, favour, grace, love, opportunities, victories and successes, I return to say Thank You Lord. Amen!
