Wisdom For The Day Devotional 6 September 2023 By Bishop Mike Okonkwo – Witness Your Faith
TOPIC: Witness Your Faith (TREM Devotional 6 September 2023)
‘’But ye shall receive power after that the Holy Ghost is come upon you and ye shall be witnesses unto me’’. Acts 1:8 (KJV)
MESSAGE:
I come to challenge you to take a quality decision to always witness your faith. The events of today in our very unstable and insecure world confirm that Jesus is coming soon. And so, as a child of God, you have a responsibility to witness your faith everywhere you go. Don’t be a secret service Christian. Let people know you are saved. Remember that your salvation cost God the blood of His Son and there is nothing to be ashamed about. The Apostle Paul boldly declares this fact in Romans 1:16. He says “For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ for it is the power of God unto salvation to everyone that believeth; to the Jew first and also to the Greeks.’’
You cannot afford to be ashamed of the gospel because therein lies the power of God unto salvation. You also cannot afford to keep quiet in this day and hour when people are daily streaming into a godless eternity. When you talk about Jesus and His saving grace, you are witnessing your faith. You are helping to change the lives and destinies of others around you. Don’t just say it doesn’t concern me. It should concern you.
The woman at the well of Samaria did not know much of the scriptures, but after her encounter with Jesus, she went to town with the little she knew and brought souls to the Kingdom. You might not be able to preach, but you can share your personal experience. That is witnessing! The woman told the people in her neighborhood about her personal encounter with Jesus. And they followed her to see the man who changed her story. I am sure you also have a story or an encounter to talk about. It would encourage someone to depend solely on God and before you know it, a soul is won. Make Christ known in your neighborhood, office, or marketplace. Be assured that as you labour in His vineyard, He will also labour in your vineyard.
