Today’s Devotional: The Power of Your Personal Testimony

Your personal testimony of knowing Christ as savior and Lord is an effective tool for evangelism and edification. To many, the Bible is antiquated and irrelevant. But people can relate to what God has done, and is doing, in your life.

Whether your conversion to Christ was quiet living room or Damascus Road experience is insignificant. What matters is that you had an encounter with a personal God that changed your way of thinking and your life.

That encounter is a tangible means of personalizing and manifesting the reality of Christ and His Word – one that the Holy Spirit can use to authenticate the message of the gospel. Even other Christians can be encourage through your testimony. Many can identify with your struggle of unbelief and doubt. Still others can relate to your continuing discovery of God’s truth as a growing Christian, motivating them to continue the race began at salvation.

Never be shy about telling someone else what God has done for you. God may use it in ways you never dreamed.

Men shall speak of the might of Your awesome acts,
And I will declare Your greatness.

Psalm 145:6

My Personal Reflection

I am sure that the regular visitors of this blog may have noticed that I am very honest with my feelings regarding all the issues I went, or am going, through. You might have read about me getting excited about having a regular job after MONTHS of being unemployed. You might have read about how God had protected my family when there was an intruder. You might have come across a post about how depressed I am that I was sacked from my job. Recently, you might have read how I got a new job, a job that pays a lot better, a job that I absolutely love.

So with today’s devotional, I reflected on a personal testimony that would let me tell the world of God’s unconditional love. Then it hit me. This here is my personal testimony. In this blog I let everyone witness how God transforms me into a better person everyday. Sure, I do take a step back every now and then, I do commit mistakes still, but I know how to take God’s hand and stand up straight and walk tall once more.

What about you? Do you share how God is making your life better? Do you tell your friends about how God is making great things happen? Do you spread God’s love to the people around you?

If, like me, you are not very good with public speaking, like standing in front of an entire congregation (but I just know that you will get the courage and confidence when giving a testimony – God will give you that confidence!), you can create a blog similar to mine. Write down your thoughts. Share with us what the realizations that came with your daily quiet time with the Lord. Tell us the miracles that God is making in your life. Who knows, you just might inspire someone to be a confident disciple of Christ.
