It’s a wonderful day to be a child of God. When you go throughout your day’s journey, do you behave in a manner that is pleasing to God or pleasing to man? Do you strive to be accepted by others, while ignoring the commandments of God? Do you carry yourself in a Christ-like manner or an egotistical manner? Can people see Christ residing within you? How do you treat other people? How do you display Christ on your job? Many times in our lives we become preoccupied with our own agendas until we forget the agenda of God. The way we treat other people explains a lot about us. Have you ever been guilty of talking to someone in a rude manner? Have you ever treated someone less than a person? Do you act better than the waiter or waitress when you order your food? The Bible declares in Hebrews 13:2 – Be not forgetful to entertain strangers: for thereby some have entertained angels unawares. Have you forgotten how far God has brought you?
This morning, I have been commissioned to come and minister to you. Can God trust you with the anointing He placed over your life? Does your mouth cause more problems than necessary? Do you allow the enemy to use you? My friend, We Are Walking, Talking Testimonies! We are not here to have the world centered around us. We are not here to have our horn tooted by our peers and colleagues. We are here because God saw fit to rescue and redeem us from a life of sin and hell. You are here because Jesus Christ sacrificed His life in our stead. The Bible declares in Romans 5:8 – But God commendeth His love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us. He died so we could live. He died so we could testify about His goodness and faithfulness toward all mankind. The way we conduct ourselves will either hinder or bless our witness to others. Many people will watch your actions before they receive your words. What are your actions saying right now?
My brother, my sister, We Are Walking, Talking Testimonies! On our jobs, in our communities, within our churches, at the beauty salon and barber shops, driving in our cars, at the restaurant. Wherever you are or whatever you are doing, we are charged to display Christ. The Bible declares in 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. It is through our testimonies and Jesus’ blood that we are able to defeat the enemy. The more you tell of God’s great and mighty works, the more you defeat the enemy. Think about it, when you start talking about the Lord, it is then that the enemy tries to shut your mouth. He starts to send anything and anyone against you. We Are Walking, Talking Testimonies! Open your mouth and declare the mighty acts of God. Be silent no more. Prayer for Today: Father, You have been to good for me to remain silent. I will be an effective witness through my walking and talking. In Jesus’ name … Amen!
Scripture Reading for Today: Psalms 150
