Acts 1:8 But ye shall receive power, after that the Holy Ghost is come upon you: and ye shall be witnesses unto me both in Jerusalem, and in all Judaea, and in Samaria, and unto the uttermost part of the earth.
We are all witnessing whether you accept it or not; it is either you are witnessing for God or against Him. Luke 11:23 (He that is not with me is against me: and he that gathereth not with me scattereth). There is no in between; every child of God is called to witness for Him; we are saved to witness; we are to tell others what we know about God. Jeremiah 9:24 (But let him that glorieth glory in this, that he understandeth and knoweth me, that I am the LORD which exercise lovingkindness, judgement, and righteousness, in the earth: for in these things I delight, saith the LORD). So, your glory lies in your job as a witness; God said that the only way we can please Him is to testify about His loving kindness. So friends, if you really want to win God's heart , start witnessing for Him. Jesus said if you are not with him then you are against him and if you are not gathering with him then you are scattering. You cannot just be idle in this kingdom; that is the rule. The question is where are you as an individual; are you with God or against Him. If you are not witnessing then you are in disobedience because the instruction that Jesus gave to me and you was a standing instruction that we should go out into the world and witness for him (Mark 16:16-18). You cannot be in disobedience and expect to enjoy the fullness of God. John 1:6 (There was a man sent from God, whose name was John. 7 The same came for a witness, to bear witness of the Light, that all men through him might believe. 8 He was not that Light, but was sent to bear witness of that Light. 9 That was the true Light, which lighteth every man that cometh into the world). The world is full of darkness and God sent the light to come and lighten the world; but before then, He sent someone in the person of John the Baptist to come and witness for the light; to tell the world to prepare their mind for the light that is coming. Matthew 11:11( Verily I say unto you, Among them that are born of women there hath not risen a greater than John the Baptist: notwithstanding he that is least in the kingdom of heaven is greater than he. 12 And from the days of John the Baptist until now the kingdom of heaven suffereth violence, and the violent take it by force. 13 For all the prophets and the law prophesied until John). The bible said that John the Baptist is the greatest of all the prophets that has come before him. And we the children of the kingdom are greater than John the baptist. But as we all know, the scriptures say that the glory of the latter shall be greater than the former. Haggai 2:9 (The glory of this latter house shall be greater than of the former, saith the LORD of hosts: and in this place will I give peace, saith the LORD of hosts). It is true we are ordained to be greater than John the baptist and every other prophets that has come before him; because we all have the seed of greatness deposited in us at redemption but it will only be activated when we accept to do what John the Baptize came to do because we are to continue from where he stop. He came to prepare the way for Jesus and Jesus showed us the way and he said we should go ahead and prepare the way for his second coming. He is waiting for us to witness more people before he comes again. We really need to hasten our work if we want him to come quickly. This greatness was not just conferred to us for doing nothing. It is because we have the privilege of witnessing for God and that is the advantage we and John the baptist has over the prophets of old. So, John's greatness was as a result of his assignment of witnessing for the light. So, your greatness lies in the number of people you witness to, concerning God. so, as you go out telling people about the kingdom of heaven and how good God is and Jesus Christ as the light of the world and that without him there is no saving grace. That he is the way that leads to heaven; that God is good and His righteousness is everlasting; and He is judge of the universe and that He loves the world so much that he sent his only begotten son to die for the world. John 3:16 (For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life). You are to tell the world that the kingdom of God is here; we are to tell those who are still in darkness to repent of their sin and evil way; and to come into the light and begin to do good. We are to tell them the truth about eternal life; they need to know that hell is real and heaven is real also. And that if they don't repent of their evil that they will end up in hell. And tell them what it means to be in darkness and to point and introduce them to the light; that is witnessing. There is no other work as important as this; Any time you tell the truth about Jesus to someone, you are standing in the court witnessing for him. God does joke with those who will put their life on the line witnessing for Him. The person is actually battling the kingdom of darkness for God; harvesting the world for Him; working with God and reconciling the world with Him. It is a very lucrative job and it is meant for every child of the kingdom. The Samaritan woman went into the city to tell the people of the city to come and see the light of God; she began her work of witnessing as soon as she surrendered her life to Jesus (John 4:29 and 39). You may be saying, but Nene, where do I begin from? Has God been good to you? If your answer is yes, then Just tell them what God has done for you and that such things are still remaining with Him and they will follow you to your God. Job 23:14 (For he performeth the thing that is appointed for me: and many such things are with him). Whatever blessing you think you are seeing now is a mercy drop compared to what God has in stock for you if you will take up this job of witnessing. It requires a decision to surrender; John surrenders to the extent of losing his head. That is why God does not joke with anyone who will stand to witness him against the kingdom of darkness; that is, anyone who will not be afraid to say the truth in the face of the world. John came to bear witness for the truth because the whole is in darkness and capture by lies; we are witnessing against Satan; we are to discredit him in the presence of the whole world, that the report he gave and the picture of God he is painting to the world is a lie and if we do a good work of witness the person will be convince and he or she will be free by accepting Jesus Christ. Apostle Paul was called to witness and he did a great job and I know that you will do a great job too in Jesus name. Acts 9:15 (But the Lord said unto him, Go thy way: for he is a chosen vessel unto me, to bear my name before the Gentiles, and kings, and the children of Israel): Friends, you are the next to receive your crown in Jesus name. If you are not saved you cannot save others; in case you are still in darkness; hurry up and receive this offer to cross over to the light before it is too late; because you cannot be safe where darkness rules.
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 saviour. Now I know I am Born Again, Amen
NENE ISAH,
