“But ye shall receive power after that the Holy Ghost is come upon you and ye shall be witnesses unto me.” Acts 1:8 NKJV
The events of today in our very unstable world confirm that Jesus is coming soon. So, as a child of God, you have a responsibility to witness your faith everywhere you go. Don’t be a secret service Christian. Let people know you are saved. Remember your salvation cost God the blood of His Son and there is nothing to be ashamed about. The Apostle Paul boldly declares this fact in Romans 1:16 (KJV). He says, “For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ for it is the power of God unto salvation to everyone that believeth; to the Jew first and also to the Greeks.”
Beloved, you cannot afford to be ashamed of the gospel because therein lies the power of God unto salvation. You also cannot afford to keep quiet in this day and hour when people are daily streaming into a godless eternity. When you talk about Jesus and His saving grace, you are witnessing your faith. You are helping to change the lives and destinies of others around you. Don’t just say it doesn’t concern me. It should concern you.
The woman at the well of Samaria did not know much of the scriptures but after her encounter with Jesus, she went to town with the little she knew and brought souls to the Kingdom. You might not be able to preach, but you can share your personal experience. That is witnessing! I am sure you also have a story or an encounter to talk about. It would encourage someone to depend solely on God and before you know it, a soul is won. I come to challenge you to take a quality decision to always share your faith. Wherever you go, let people know you are a believer. Leave people better than the way you met them even without them seeing your Bible. Become the walking and the talking Bible they may ever get to know, and as you do, many souls will be saved to the glory of God.
