In Revelations 12 vs 11 it says: “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”.
What is my testimony and why is it so important?
In my simple understanding it is the evidence of what Jesus has done and is doing in my life. The bible also talks about us being the light of the world, with all of this load shedding going around we are once again reminded how even the smallest torch can help when the lights go out. The bible plainly tells us how we don’t light a candle and hide it, but we place it in a place where the whole room can benefit from it’s light. That is the same with my testimony, it needs to be shared, it needs to be witnessed not because it brings glory to me, but because it brings glory to the Father and to Jesus. How is it that someone can be going through the most difficult, the most trying time but there is a peace in their lives. That is the evidence of Jesus in their lives. That little light, shining in the darkest night, that is my testimony. That is me showing the grace, the love, the mercy, the forgiveness that exists with Jesus when everything else around us is screaming the opposite.
My testimony, the evidence of Jesus in my life, is what draws others to this life in Jesus and because of that it is so important that I share it with others (and sometimes I can even use words to share my testimony ).
