Confessions II
Witness.
Witness and Testimony
“Come, see a man who told me everything I ever did. Could this be the Christ?”
~John 4:29
It’s a part of me that I always find hard admitting to myself, to him or anyone. It’s a quiet fear of giving wholeheartedly every twist and turn of my life to him. I imagined my love will be enough, until I found myself in rooms that questioned how much I loved him.
Maybe I wanted to be found among the girls captioned “pretty girls love Jesus”. I was scared of being called too much or too holy. During ministrations I’d leave my eyes half closed to read the faces of my brethren.
I didn’t give the holyspirit full possession, but the grace was so visible. They could see through me. And he knows them that trust in him, somehow they held me close. Carrying flames that burned of manifestation. He fixed me in the mist of those he called his own.
And he said :
Fix this words of mine in your hearts and minds, tie them as symbols on your hands and bind them on your foreheads.
He wanted me to be a witness. To testify.
He wanted me to carry him everywhere I went.
To take up his cross daily.
So I laid myself bare. And in those moments he consumed my heart.
Then I prayed. Not for favors, not to intercede for anyone. Just to thank him for finding me when I was lost. For being the light in the darkness.
I prayed. To thank him for salvation, the gift of life and the chance to know him. To tell him how afraid I was but willing to surrender.
I prayed. To confess that I believe in the power of his name, his existence, his love and his son, Jesus Christ.
I allowed him to be visible. In everything I was doing.
And I realized he sees our consistent faithfulness, not our one time acts of service. It wasn’t just the intimate moments behind closed doors.
It’s how unashamed we are to boast about him.
Eph.3.12 - “in whom we have boldness and access with confidence through faith in Him”.
We were included in Christ when we heard his word of truth, the gospel of salvation. And having believed, we were marked in him with a seal, the promised Holy Spirit.
The helper.
Acts.4.31 - “And when they had prayed, the place was shaken where they were assembled together; and they were all filled with the Holy Ghost, and they spake the word of God with boldness”.
Firstly, why should i be ashamed? Why should you?
You’re a transmitter of eternal life because his death opened the door to that grace. So we have the power to give eternal life through the gospel because we believe and we have received faith that Jesus is our lord and savior
We approach God through our belief. Through our surrender. Wholeheartedly.
Your character isn’t the criteria to enter the kingdom of God but by your confession.
You must do it publicly, because he said “if you’re not willing to acknowledge me publicly before me, I will not acknowledge you before my father which is in heaven”
You coming forward doesn’t save you. It’s coming forward as a symbol of an inward decision you’re making in your heart, you are coming and standing with Christ and his cross.
You’re a witness to others, so embrace that grace till your last breath.
Eph.6.19-20- And for me, that utterance may be given unto me, that I may open my mouth boldly, to make known the mystery of the gospel, for which I am an ambassador in bonds: that therein I may speak boldly, as I ought to speak.
Ó yóò fi agbára fún mi
(He’ll strengthened me)
“For it is by believing in your heart that you’re made right with God, and it is by confessing with your mouth that you’re saved”
~Romans 10:9-10
Jéwò!!
