THE TESTIMONY OF JESUS: PART 1

Revelation 19:10(And I fell at his feet to worship him. And he said unto me, see thou do it not: I am thy fellow servant, and of thy brethren that have the testimony of Jesus: worship God: for the testimony of Jesus is the spirit of prophecy).

Life is a battlefield and not a funfair; we came to battle and it begins from the day we were born. If a new born baby refuses to cry the midwife will hit the baby’s back; if the baby cries she has won her first victory and if she refuses to cry then she lost the battle at birth. That’s just the fact whether we like it or not; and in every battle there is a winner. The account of the victory of every winner is a testimony. It is only a winner that has a testimony. You cannot have testimony without a fight. Mathew 11:12(And from the days of John the Baptist until now the Kingdom of heaven suffereth violence and the violent take it by force). Jesus came to fight the kingdom of darkness in order to reconcile us with God and the kingdom of darkness fought him back; but Jesus won the victory and emerged as a conqueror King. The account of all his battles and victory are recorded in the New Testament and it is called the testimony of Jesus. His testimony has made it easy for us to go through life without losing any battle. Revelation 12:11(And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb and by the word of their testimony; and they loved not their lives unto the death). Everyone that has the testimony of Jesus became a god in human form. In our anchor scripture above; John was move to worship the Angel and he said no to him; that he is just like him and the only difference between them is that he has the testimony of Jesus which he is about to give to John and that will make him a conqueror and men will be move to worship him. If you have the testimony of Jesus you will do what he has done because testimony has the power to reproduce itself. Jesus himself said that if we believe in his testimony we will do greater things than what he has done. John 14:12(Verily, verily I say unto you He that believeth on me the works that I do shall he do also; and greater works than these shall he do; because I go unto my Father). This scripture was made manifest in the life of Apostle Paul; men of the city of Lystra were moved to worship him and he repeated what the Angel said to John that he was just like them the only difference is that he has the testimony of Jesus.  Acts 14:11(And when the people saw what Paul had done, they lifted up their voices saying in the speech of Lycaonia, The gods are come down to us in the likeness of men. 2 And they called Barnabas, Jupiter; and Paul, Mercurius, because he was the chief speaker. 13 Then the priest of Jupiter, which was before their city, brought oxen and garlands unto the gates, and would have done sacrifice with the people. 14 Which when the apostles, Barnabas and Paul, heard of, they rent their clothes, and ran in among the people, crying out, 15 And saying, Sirs, why do ye these things? We also are men of like passions with you, and preach unto you that ye should turn from these vanities unto the living God which made heaven and earth, and the sea and all things that are therein). The testimony of Jesus empowers the believer to do great things; you can’t have his testimony and be a loser. You will not lose again in Jesus' name; from today your new name will be a winner. John 16:33(These things I have spoken unto you that in me ye might have peace. In the world ye shall have tribulation: but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world).  Jesus understood that challenges are part of our everyday struggle because that is the reason why he came and he overcame the kingdom of darkness. Your battle was long over since the day he was crucified and if you accept and believe his testimony, no matter how bad that situation and harassment of the devil is; It shall turn to you for a testimony (Luke 21:13).

Lord Jesus, I come to you today, I am a sinner, and I cannot help myself, forgive me my sins, and cleanse me with your precious blood. Deliver me from sin and Satan to serve the living God. Lord Jesus, I accept you as my Lord and savior. Now I know I am Born Again, Amen.
