THE IMPORTANCE OF TESTIFYING TO THE GOODNESS OF GOD PART 1

Luke 12:48b for unto whomsoever much is given, of him shall be much required; and to whom men have committed much, of him they will ask the more.
BIBLE IN ONE YEAR: Ex 19, Luke 22, Job 37, 2 Cor 7
Many of the great things the Lord is doing in the life of His children are under-reported. God has opened doors to many; He has provided through unbelievable means for countless number of people and they are yet to testify; He has healed many of terminal diseases; He has restored marriages; He has done so many wonderful things and people do not testify of His goodness. When you ask them to come and share their testimony they will begin to give excuse. The reason majority give is ‘I am very shy! I can’t talk in front of people’. The question is this; you were not shy to ask Him for your blessings, were you? So, why should you allow this to stop you from giving thanks to Him? Some say ‘my testimony is not that great.’ Sir, no testimony is too small. It may be small for some, but I can assure you there are people who are in need of exactly what you have received; and your testimony will help them. Few say ‘what if I give my testimony and I lose it later?’ If you are the type that thinks this way, you will probably lose it. Not because we want that to happen (not at all), but because you don’t really believe that God has blessed you. If He gave it to you, who can take it away from you? Definitely nobody.  Others say ‘my testimony is very private and I don’t want to share it with anyone’. This is completely understandable and in this case, you don’t necessarily need to speak in front of all, but you can still let your pastor know, so he can tell people what God has done for ‘someone ’, without mentioning who that person is or revealing your identity.
There should be nothing in this world strong enough to prevent us from glorifying God with our testimony. Luke 6:38 says give, and it shall be given unto you; good measure, pressed down, and shaken together, and running over, shall men give into your bosom. For the same measure that ye mete withal it shall be measured to you again. When you share your testimony, you are giving; and what has our Lord promised to those who give?
ACTION: The Lord has laid it on our mind, to create a Facebook page called ‘Testimony Board’. The objective of creating this page is to share testimonies of what the Lord has done and currently doing in the lives of His children. If you want to testify to the whole world about the goodness of God in your life, please send your testimony to my email address s.oluwatoki@gmail.com. As the admin of this page I will add your testimony to this facebook page and the whole world would be able to see it and praise God. You do not need to add any personal details; all that is required is your first name and the initial of your last name. We will also need the city or town you are from. An example would be Samuel.O, London, UK. The details you provide will be added to your testimony.Remember there are no small testimonies!
