Monday 1st March

A lovely day to you in the name of Jesus. We thank God for bringing us into the month of March, the third month of the year. We thank God for His help, it's important we don't take these things for granted.

God has kept us and we are grateful to Him. I declare this will be a month of marching forward for you in the name of Jesus. In every area of your life, you will see progress, you'll see advancement, you'll see promotions in the name of Jesus; it will be a month of consolidation, it will be a month of elevation for you in the name of Jesus.

Throughout this month, we'll be talking about “Building your Testimony”. What do we mean building your testimony?

Every life was designed by God to be a testimony and every single day of your life is an opportunity to work with Him to build the reality of that testimony into time. God has already settled it in eternity but we have to work with Him to build that into reality in our time. Throughout this week, we'll be talking about the fact that every life is a testimony. EVERY LIFE IS A TESTIMONY, no matter who you are, no matter what you've been through.

A testimony is something that gives proof or evidence to support a position and, in this context, when we say a person is a testimony, we mean a person who has seen the goodness and faithfulness of God and their life. When somebody's life is an evidence of the reality of the power of God, a reality of the covenant, when the person is victorious, when the person is more than a conqueror then we say that person is a testimony.

If we remember the story of Jesus, in Luke 2:28-33 (NIV), it says;

28 Simeon took him in his arms and praised God, saying: 29 “Sovereign Lord, as you have promised, you may now dismiss[a] your servant in peace. 30 For my eyes have seen your salvation, 31 which you have prepared in the sight of all nations: 32 a light for revelation to the Gentiles, and the glory of your people Israel.” 33 The child’s father and mother marvelled at what was said about him. Jesus’s parents were amazed at was being said.

This man Simon was a worshipper of God; he had been in the temple for years, on seeing this baby Jesus, he began to declare things to show that this is not an ordinary child; this is a special child, this child is a testimony. The story of Moses is also similar.

In Hebrew 11:23 (NLT).

23 It was by faith that Moses’ parents hid him for three months when he was born. They saw that God had given them an unusual child, and they were not afraid to disobey the king’s command.

Can you imagine these little children who had not really started living out their lives were seen as testimonies? Simon saw Jesus and saw a testimony; the parents of Moses saw him and saw a testimony.

If children can be testimonies, even without doing anything, how much more adults who have already started living out their days actively?

There is more than enough biblical evidence to proof that we are all designed and created in this world to be testimonies no matter the current situation.

trust God that before we get through this series month, you will see that God has made you a testimony and may you reflect that reality in your life in Jesus name.

God bless you.

Enjoy the rest of the week.
