FAITH CAPSULE: Keeping quiet and not sharing the testimonies of God is same as shutting your miracle door.

Psalm 91

What do you have to say about God? What you have to say about God is your testimony of God. Psalm 119:2, “Blessed are those who keep His testimonies, who seek Him with the whole heart!” Psalm 119:22 “Remove from me reproach and contempt, for I have kept Your testimonies.” What do you have to say about God? What you have heard people say is not the question. Also what you have joined others in saying is not what you need to answer. What is it that you can say of God? The Psalmist says, I will say of the Lord “He is my refuge and my fortress; My God, in Him I will trust.” (Psalm 91:2) What the Psalmist is saying here is that God, is his shelter and protection from danger and difficulty. Before the Psalmist could say what he said, he must have known something about Him. If you do not know Him you will have nothing to say to yourself about Him. It is not enough to know God through what others know about God. The Psalmist knows the Lord as the author and finisher of His life, the beginning and the end. The One and only that can fight his battles for him without him raising hand for a moment. Above all else, he knew Him as the one that is worthy to be trusted, the One to count on in every moment and every situation, the One to wait on for direction and deliverance also for provision and preservation. The Psalmist knew Him well enough to personalize Him by stating, “My God in Him I will trust.”  Personalizing God is a demonstration of understanding God and having knowledge about Him. By virtue of knowledge and understanding of the Lord, the Psalmist declared a statement of certainty saying; “Surely He shall deliver you from the snare of the fowler and from the perilous pestilence. He shall cover you with His feathers, and under His wings you shall take refuge; His truth shall be your shield and buckler.” (Psalm 91:3-4) When the covering of God is upon our life, provision and every other area of need, such as protection from danger, will not cease to flow in our life. Keeping quiet and not sharing the testimonies of God is same as shutting your miracle door. Speak of His testimonies even when your miracle is yet at hand. Psalm 119:46, “I will speak of your testimonies also before kings.” There should be no limitation declaring His testimonies. God is a faithful God; declare His testimonies and He will not deny your transformation.  

Prayer for today: Look upon me and be merciful to me as Your custom is. Lord, make me to love declaring your testimonies.
