FAITH CAPSULE: Testimonies of God will convey a true believer into confirmation of God’s wonder.

1 Samuel 17

Testimony of God over the life of man is one of the routes to arrive at expected end in the journey of life. Testimony is evidence in support of the wonders of God. Testimony is an open declaration or profession, as of faith.
The testimonies of God will convey a true believer into confirmation of God’s wonder. In the battle of David and Goliath, David testified God’s doing, “…The Lord, who delivered me from the paw of the lion and from the paw of the bear, He will deliver me from the hand of this Philistine…” (1 Samuel 17:37) David’s testimony of God’s doing over his life conveyed him to the center of God confirming victory for David over Goliath. By testimony, David’s victory was his transportation for the transformation of his story of life for the glory of God.
Continually, meditating on what God has done and all that He is doing in man’s life is keeping God’s testimony. Are keeping testimonies of God by constantly meditating His testimonies over your life? The Psalmist knew and confessed about testimonies of God in Psalm 119:2, “Blessed are those who keep His testimonies, who seek Him with the whole heart!” Keeping His testimonies is setting self-up to serve Him and not rebel by complaining. Psalm 119: 24, “Your testimonies also are my delight and my counselors.” Psalm 119:46, “I will speak of Your testimonies also before kings and will not be ashamed.” The testimonies of God are all the things that He has done, the things that He is doing, and the evidence of what He can do. His testimonies are worthy of mediation.
The testimony of God is what a believer needs to plead case before God. Isaiah 45:26 stated, “Put Me in remembrance; Let us contend together; State your case, that you may be acquitted.” Do you have any testimony to remind God when presenting your case before God? In the battle of David against Goliath, David had testimony of what God has done over his life when he stated his case before God. David’s testimony reminded God and God gave him victory over Goliath. God is faithful to honor His word.
The children of Israel needed to continually give to testimonies of God as their transportation through wilderness journey to God’s Promised Land. In the place of God’s testimonies over their life complaint took charge. Complaint transformed transportation of eleven days journey to forty years journey for the Israelites. Are you experiencing a time of wandering where you are to be experiencing wonder of God in your world?
God promised to take them to the Promised Land. He showed them great and mighty signs in Egypt, and they could not meditate to keep His testimony.

Prayer for today: Ask for the grace to help in keeping His testimony constantly.
