Have you been a witness? Told your story and your experience not in a court of law but in your life with Christ? If so, how? Where does it come from? How do you share it? What’s your witness?
I was sitting in church yesterday and the Pastor touched on being a witness through different aspects of your life. It made me think how I used to believe the only way to witness or minister to someone was from a pulpit.
Yet during yesterday’s service, a woman presented her art and how God told her it was her ministry. Her way to share her witness of who He was to her and who He can be to the world.
What’s your witness?
I grew up in the Pentecostal church where a day without church was rare. My Grandmother was an Evangelist and she organized many a Street Witness Day. In our church, members of the church would gather early in the morning with tracks (pamphlets with information about God and scriptures) to pass out to people on the street.
Before each Witness Day, we would have prayer and whoever was in charge would pray for each of us to have strength and courage to witness. I’m not sure I ever truly grasped what that word meant as a Christian until now.
To witness the grace, faith, forgiveness, and favor of God is one thing. To experience it is another and to share it well that’s where the Gospel comes in. To spread to Good News of Jesus Christ and the salvation He offers us at no cost to us.
Those mornings walking up and down the street handing out tracks and having folks throw them back at you or on the ground didn’t hit me until I really thought about how important my witness can be to drawing someone to God’s love.
Through my witness – the sharing of my first-hand experience – I can give someone a light of hope that whatever it is they are going through or have been through is easy for God. If He did it for me He can do it for them.
I am so grateful for those who have born witness to the works of God in their lives and shared that with me. It’s through their testimony and victory that I found the strength and the faith to find my own.
They weren’t always from a pulpit or podium at times it was through a kind word, a hug or even a simple sharing of a story. Finding your witness is no more than finding the way that connects you to someone and allows you the space to share your story of salvation.
The next time you hear the word witness. Don’t take it lightly. There may be that one someone who needs to hear your story in order to find the path to their own and no matter what form your witness may take it’s always one worth giving.
