TOPIC: You Should Testify (Open Heaven for Teens 3 November 2024)
MEMORISE: And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb, and by the word of their testimony; – Revelation 12:11a
READ: Luke 17:12-19
12 And as he entered into a certain village, there met him ten men that were lepers, which stood afar off:
13 And they lifted up their voices, and said, Jesus, Master, have mercy on us.
14 And when he saw them, he said unto them, Go shew yourselves unto the priests. And it came to pass, that, as they went, they were cleansed.
15 And one of them, when he saw that he was healed, turned back, and with a loud voice glorified God,
16 And fell down on his face at his feet, giving him thanks: and he was a Samaritan.
17 And Jesus answering said, Were there not ten cleansed? but where are the nine?
18 There are not found that returned to give glory to God, save this stranger.
19 And he said unto him, Arise, go thy way: thy faith hath made thee whole.
MESSAGE:
Testimonies are so important and powerful that they have the ability to overcome satan. Testifying is a weapon of warfare because it is a form of thanksgiving that moves God to fight for you, as seen in 2 Chronicles 20, where King Jehoshaphat testified of God’s past goodness before the people of Israel. God was moved to the extent that He told him that there was no need to fight the battle again. As Jehoshaphat and the people praised God, He set the enemies against themselves.
When I just gave my life to Christ, I always had a testimony to share in church every Sunday. It got to a point that my Father in the Lord, Pa Akindayomi, would intentionally not call me whenever I raised my hand during testimony time. I almost got offended until the Holy Spirit explained to me that testifying is not restricted to a location. You can testify of God’s goodness to your classmates, teachers, parents, or friends. You can also share testimonies while preaching; just ensure that your motive is to bring glory to God alone, not you.
ACTION POINT:
Testimony is a great weapon; start using it today.
BIBLE IN ONE YEAR
EZEKIEL 7:1-9:11, HEBREWS 5:1-14
HYMN 31: Wonderful Story Of Love
1 Wonderful story of love!
Tell it to me again;
Wonderful story of love!
Wake the immortal strain.
Angels with rapture announce it,
Shepherds with wonder receive it;
Sinner, O won’t you believe it?
Wonderful story of love!
Refrain:
Wonderful! Wonderful!
Wonderful story,
Wonderful story of love!
2 Wonderful story of love!
Though you are far away;
Wonderful story of love!
Still he doth call today.
Calling from Calvary’s mountain,
Down from the crystal bright fountain,
E’en from the dawn of creation;
Wonderful story of love!
3 Wonderful story of love!
Jesus provides a rest;
Wonderful story of love!
For all the pure and blest;
Rest in those mansions above us,
With those who’ve gone on before us,
Singing the rapturous chorus;
Wonderful story of love!
