WITNESSING TO THE FAITH

WITNESSING TO THE FAITH As 21st century Christians We are called to be WITNESSES To God and Jesus And to our FAITH In today's world “….....Do not worry about HOW you will DEFEND yourselves Or what you will say For the HOLY SPIRIT Will teach you at that time WHAT you should say” Luke 12:11 MOST of the time Our witnessing to the FAITH Will be in silence Our faith Should stick out It should demonstrate That we are witnesses To the faith By our thoughts And by our actions By WHERE we go And by the KIND OF PEOPLE We surround ourselves with THE JOY AND LOVE That we live our lives with Should INSPIRE OTHERS To be Christians Or at least to say: “What does that guy got-or What does that girl got- That makes him or her so HAPPY Despite what they may be Going through We should be a SOURCE OF INSPIRATION to others But there will also be moments WHEN we will be called To speak To give explicit testimony To our faith “And this gospel Of the kingdom Will be PREACHED To the whole world As a testimony To all nations And then the end Will come” Matthew 24:14 Our witnessing by words May only impact a few But our actions And the way We live our lives SHOULD IMPACT MANY “But you Will RECEIVE POWER When the Holy Spirit Comes on you And you will be My WITNESSES In Jerusalem and Samaria And to the ends Of the earth” Acts 1:8 We will get it done ONE PERSON at a time For the rest of time IF that is what it takes We will be WITNESSES To God-to Jesus- Through our faith and thoughts SOME PEOPLE In today's world BOTH Christian and Jew Have given their lives For their faith HOPEFULLY We will never Have to do that But we may Have to TESTIFY WHEN AND IF our faith is challenged NOT to worry The HOLY SPIRIT Will give us the words We need The Holy Spirit Will STRENGTHEN AND INSPIRE US That leaves us with Just one question How can we and HOW will we TESTIFY to our FAITH THIS VERY DAY?
