Testimonies
Hey people,sorry I haven't been blogging for a really long time.Been really busy,especially with the exams.Still in the midst of them,left with Geog paper tomorrow.Well,the exams haven't been going really well,but still,I'm trusting God on this and I know He'll sustain me.LORD I commit the paper to you.
Have been sick the whole week,down with flu and slight fever.A big thank you to all who prayed.I'm feeling much better now.Don't worry,I'm taking care of myself and I know God will heal me.Because I know He's mighty to save! :) I really thank God for blesing me with you people,people whom I can go to for help,whether it's a prayer or even for answers to a few questions.But yeah,big or small,you people have really blessed me a lot,really.
Anyway,just wanted to post about something I've held in my heart for a considerable amount of time,and that is to the giving of testimonies.As I was doing my TAWG,I came across Luke8:39,which reads,"'Return home and tell how much God has done for you.'"
While many of us reading Luke chapter 8 might find that the main point of the story is about God's faithfulness,and how He will heal us as we cry out to Him,but this particular verse caught my eye even as I was reading it."'Return home and tell how much God has done for you.'" God desires us to declare even of His faithfulness,to testify of His power and love.It's not because God needs the glory,but it's because God wants us to always rememeber who is in control,and that is God.When many of us receive healing,we accept it from God and then we put it aside.We never remember it nor testify of it.And this saddens my heart.We always say,"God has been faithful",but have we ourselves be faithful?Have we ourselves credited God for our healing?Have we credited God for the good things He has done?Be it healing,restoration,journey mercy,good grades,or even a good day,God deserves all the glory!Friends today let's begin to openly testify of God's faithfulness.Whether it's big news or smallGod deserves the testimony.Let' begin to realize that the one in control is really God.It is He who gives us what we have,it is He who makes us who we are,it is He that has our lives planned out well.Friends,today let's begin to testify openly to anybody!You never know who you will impact with that testimony.God is waiting for you to act before He can convict.Friends I'm not saying that God will not bless you if you do not remain faithful,what I'm saying is,God wants you to testify of who is in control.God wants you to know that without Him,you are nothing!Many of us have hidden testimonies,and we are afraid to share it,because we think it's too small to share."It's no big illness,"we say."It's not a really big pay-rise,"we think to ourselves.But hey,I want you to know that big or small,minor or major,God deserves the glory!
There is a story.Once there was a man who had a lot of faith.With the power of God He could heal anybody.If a person had headache he would crash the person's head unto the wall,and that person would be healed.Many people came to this man for healing,and every single one of them would be healed.But there was one person this man could not heal,and that was his own daughter.You see,his daughter contractd a serious disease,and she didn't have much longer to live.The man did all he could to try to save his daughter.He bought the best medicine,consulted the best doctors,gave up his job so he could have as much tim as he could to pray,fasted everyday,but his daughter could not be healed.When his daughter eventually died,the pale,skinny,distraught man seeked God and asked desperately why his daughter could not be healed.God answered with a short but powerful answer,"My son,I want you to kep focus on me,to know that all the people who received healing,you did not heal them,I did.And I wanted you to know who is in control." The man understood,and from there He continued to preach the gospel and continued healing people.
Friends,today God wants you to always rememebr that He is control.You might be doing well,and that's good,but give all the glory and praise to God.Or perhaps you are doing not so well,but praise God as well,for it is you that God seeks to help.
Matthew 5:4'Blessed are those who mourn, for they will be comforted.'
Lord I thank you for all you have done for me,for all that you have so faithfully blessed me with.Father I'm sorry for all the sins I've made.I need you Lord,becaus I know I can't do this alone and Lord,I know that you'll bring me through.I pray Oh God,that you will give me strength,because I know that I cannot rely on my own strength.By your spirit Lord.Amen.
Worship You My Lord
Until the very end
Jesus, lover of my soul
Jesus, I will never let You go
You've taken me from the miry clay
You've set my feet upon the rock
And now I know
I love You, I need You
Though my world may fall
I'll never let You go
My Savior, my closest Friend
I will worship You until the very end
