““You are My witnesses,” says the LORD, “And
My servant whom I have chosen, that you may know and believe Me, and understand
that I am He. Before Me there was no God formed, nor shall there be after Me.
I, even I, am the LORD, and besides Me there is no Savior. I have declared and
saved, I have proclaimed, and there was no foreign god among you; Therefore,
you are My witnesses,” Says the LORD, “that I am God.” Isaiah 43:10-12 NKJV
There is something awe inspiring about
being declared Jehovah’s witness. Many of us do not even see ourselves as such. So who is a witness?
A witness is someone who provides
evidence of something because they saw or were part of it.
If something happened to you, you are
the best witness to testify of that thing.
Many people do not believe in the
Almighty God because they cannot ‘see’ Him. He is not physical to them. Many have
gone to the extent of moulding an image of animals, carving, physical items to
represent ‘god’ to them. They need something they can see as a reference
because an invisible God is incomprehensible to them. Images that cannot speak
or move, the work of man worshipped by man.
Apart from the evidence in nature, God shows Himself through His witnesses, you and me. The works of God in your
life makes you a witness for Him. God does not exist in man-made images. He is
evidenced through lives transformed, from nothing to something; from poverty to
riches: from sickness to healing; from sorrow to joy; from prison to release
and from death to life.You are Jehovah’s witness.
How are you
witnessing that He is God? That before Him there was no God and after Him there
is no-one. He is the only Saviour. He is God.
A witness who is found to lie is
discredited as a witness. If your life does not reflect God, you are
a discredited witness. Rather than being a witness for Elohim, you bring
reproach to His name.
How is your life a witness for God? Are
you reflecting Him, His character, His principles, His ways? Are you a witness or a reproach?
#Prayerfortheweek
Almighty Father let my life be a
witness of You. May I never be a reproach to your name. May my life be a
pleasing aroma to You oh Lord. If I have failed you in anyway, forgive me and
let Your mercy cover me.
I
pray this inspires you to be more and do more for Yeshua Ha Mashiach (Jesus
Christ). Spend this week to meditate on the passage and take relevant step to
live out your faith.
