John 1:7 This man came to witness, that he might testify of the light, that all men might believe in it through him.
How to we give our testimony or how to testify?
1. No need to be dramatic or emotional - some people cannot relate to sensational testimony. We don't ask mercy on people who are listening to us. We don't boast. No immaterial things are needed when we testify of the goodness and greatness of God.
2. We should have a strong testimony - telling the amazing things that God did to us. Testifying on who we are before and who we become when we receive Jesus and believe in him. What are the changes in our lives? Do not say things that are irrelevant.
3. We have to be truthful - God wants an honest and authentic testimony. No added information just to make the testimony looks good to listen to. Don't use meaningless words that would just lift yourself up.
4. It should be clear - there are new convert that isn't familiar with the wordings that we use. Some of them are not well verse or haven;t read the Bible yet. we have to be clear on our testimony in this way, they'll be able to understand it.
And why do we testify? It is one way of giving glory to God and inspiring others. It is also a way to build your faith - knowing God's faithfulness in the past and His strength to give you greater faith in the future.
When we testify, people will begin to realize that God is for real and He's true to His promises, miracles do happen and prayer works.
Have a blessed day.
