One of the most powerful weapons God has given to us as believers in our daily walk in the world, is our testimony. (See Rev 12:11) He has called and empowered us to witnesses to Him from our Jerusalem unto the uttermost parts of the earth. (Acts 1:8)
Unfortunately, this truth has been misunderstood by many sincere believers within the Church.
Witnessing was mainly seen as a Church program where we reach out to unbelievers once a week to share the gospel and try to persuade them to follow Christ.
But what does it really mean to be a witness for Christ?
Witnessing is not a spare time occupation or a once – a – week activity! You don’t go witnessing, you are a witness. Witnessing must become a quality of life – a lifestyle.
Witnessing is to put God’s Name, Nature, and Character on display and to be an example to others in everyday life situations (Matt 5:13-16)
Jesus is our greatest example of what it means to be a witness – in fact, He is called the True and Faithful Witness in the book of Revelation. (Rev 3:14)
Let us emulate His example and follow in His footsteps because:
“If your walk does not convince them, your talk will confuse them!”
