GETTING GOD’S BLESSING
A poem and essay by ILMA
Are you currently in need of something?
Have you repented and confessed your sins?
When the apostles testified to Jesus’ resurrection
They received blessings and paved the path to salvation.
Have you testified to the power of what Christ did for you?
Did it make you change your heart and mind renewed?
When you believed that Christ died and rose from the dead
God pours his blessings to all those who heard and spread.

Testimony is defined as a formal written or spoken statement, especially one given in a court or law. It is also an evidence or proof provided by the existence or appearance of something. What is the importance of testifying for someone in court? It helps the judge to make the right verdict after considering all the other testimonies and evidences that are laid down in the trial. What the witness says on the stand matters a lot in the arrival at a decision on the case being tried. Do you ever think about what a testimony for Christ would do to a believer’s life?
After Christ died, his followers testified powerfully to his resurrection. As a result, they were showered with blessings and were anointed with many gifts.
PRAYER
Lord, let me know when you give me opportunities to testify for you.
REFLECTION
What would a testimony of faith do to another believer or unbeliever?

And this is what God has testified: He has given us eternal life, and this life is in his Son. Whoever has the Son has life; whoever does not have God’s Son does not have life.
– 1 John 5:11-12 (NLT)
GOD’S TESTIMONY
A poem and essay by ILMA
God testified that he has given us eternal life through Jesus
It is important to help us in all our trials and crises
God witnessed to his Son, the one who can give us life
Yet some of us continue to deny Christ and live in strife.
Whoever commits his life to the Son will have life
Whoever does not have Jesus Christ will stagnate and die
Why won’t you believe God’s testimony and accept it?
It will cleanse all your sins and allow the indwelling of the Spirit.

I just gave a testimony this week about how God recycled my pains for his Kingdom gain. God gave me a 10-minute poem to testify and declare to some women who attended our bible study group how all the abuses and traumas I experienced was recycled for God’s glory. Someone who heard the testimony shared how encouraging it was to hear my life story and how God to know she wasn’t alone in her emotional pains as well. Sometimes pain can be a good teacher for us.
God himself testified for his Son. He said that he has given us eternal life through him and whoever believes him, has life.
PRAYER
Thank you for a chance to tell others your glory.
REFLECTION
What recent miracles have you shared?

Since we believe human testimony, surely we can believe the greater testimony that comes from God. And God has testified about his Son. – 1 John 5:9 (NLT)
IMPORTANCE OF TESTIMONY
A poem and essay by ILMA
Is there something that God has done for you?
Has he given you healing and a mind that is renewed?
Testimonies are ways we can proclaim God’s salvation
It strengthens and encourages us to overcome temptation.
Testimonies can make others feel validated and inspired
It makes them know there is hope and they can still aspire
God testified about his Son so we can trust and believe
He gave us his Son who is perfect so we won’t be deceived.

Testimony is defined as an evidence or proof provided by the existence or appearance of something or someone. In court, testimonies or witnessing are essential for the making of a fair decision for a trial between two opposing people or groups. What we say in the witness stand can affect the judgment of the ones who will give the verdict to the trial.
The bible encourages us to give testimony to others so that the glory and power of God will be witnessed and experienced by either believers or non-believers in order to grow their faith. Testimonies can validate the existence of God and may bring other unbelievers to be convinced that there is a God who loves them. God himself testified about his Son.
PRAYER
Thank you Lord for opportunities to testify for you and your Son.

Why are testimonies paramount in a Christian’s life?
