MoneyWalk 97: Your testimony is powerful

This program will help you undo financial bondage.

People are trying to measure whether or not your testimony is significant or not. Some want to measure it simply because they desire to continue in unbelief, so that their chosen beliefs and lifestyles are not challenged by the truth of God’s word declared in the bible. Thus, they will ridicule anything that is based on that truth. Others want to measure it because they feel a need for change in their lives and are wondering if your testimony will lead them to the person or path they need to take to obtain the changes they need.

What you must remember is that your testimony should lead them to Jesus Christ, his earthly life, death on the cross, shedding of blood, and resurrection life for evermore regardless of the measurement people would put on it. You must become immune to the attacks and the praise that others would heap upon you because it is not about you. It’s about Jesus and what He has done and can do for those who will hear your testimony.

When you have accepted Jesus Christ, salvation and eternal life are yours. Rest assured that you have a powerful testimony no matter what others think. Your testimony will dovetail with the gospel and be used by the Holy Spirit as a means to lead many people to Christ. You only have to believe it and be unafraid to share it in whatever relationships and forums you have available to you (family, friends, neighbors, co-workers, social groups, etc.).

People who are or would be spiritual-minded understand the great value your testimony represents concerning the progressive removal of worldly impurities that engulfed your life. While the greater treasure awaits you when you are resurrected to dwell with Christ in your heavenly home, the renewal of your life begins immediately upon accepting Christ in that:

1. You actively desire and seek to become more like Jesus Christ and live in intimacy with Him each day.

2. You actively utilize biblical principles in every area of life and learn to live a truly fulfilling life on this temporary home called earth by doing what God’s word says is good to do and staying away from what His word says is wicked and sinful.

3. You give a tithe and offering of your income to further what's truly important to the Lord: bringing other people closer to Christ and help train them in His way of living and serving others.

Temptations, trials, hurt, and loss challenge every person. The fact that you go through such situations is not a sign of weakness! Your strength is shown by responding to these situations in faith with obedience to scriptural principles and with an eye toward sharing your testimony to serve others by leading them to the One who can change their lives for the better. When you patiently apply biblical principles through every situation that you go through, Christ promises you true significance, fulfillment, victory, success, and prosperity on this earth and throughout eternity.

Please pray for this ministry and email any questions. May God bless you richly as you follow His plan!!!
