“But you will
receive power when the Holy Spirit comes on you; and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem, and in all
Judea and Samaria, and to the ends of the earth.”
Acts 1:8
Summing what we
spoke about yesterday –
God wants to
raise you up to let Him be the focus.
God wants to
raise you up to give Him the glory in the earth.
Today we add
this:
God wants to
raise you up to be His witness in the earth.
A witness is defined
as one who gives evidence after seeing or hearing something.
Yesterday’s
title was: “All Eyes Are On You Lord”
A witness to
Jesus Christ keeps his eyes and ears on
the Lord.
Not only on the ‘historical’
record from the Bible but he or she is in relationship with the Lord that is moment-by-moment and up-to-date with
what God is doing.
God is active in
the earth.
We have options
concerning that.
We can join Him
in His work.
We can sit on
the sidelines.
We can deny He
is doing anything at all.
What we do as
His witnesses is up to Him.
The charge given
to my 28 year old son and his wife may be quite different than what God
requires of my 91 year old house-bound mother-in-law.
But both are
called to be His witnesses.
You are to.
No matter where
you are in life, no matter what circumstances you find yourself in, you can be
a witness for Christ in the earth.
Your ‘Jerusalem’
may be quite different from mine but we each are called to be witnesses where
we ‘live’.
How will you be
a witness today?
What will you ‘see’
and ‘hear’ about Jesus that you will ‘tell’ others with your life?
