The witness!

First let’s understand what is the meaning of the word witness in the dictionary:
1. Give witness of;
2. To confirm, attest, affirm; Claim to have seen, heard or known;
3. To express, reveal;
4. Give evidence or appearances of;
5. See, be witness, verify;
6. Serve and testify as a witness.
You can only be a witness of what you know and of what you are sure of, that is, you can only be a witness of the Lord Jesus when you have a personal experience with Him—when you know Him!
And when that happens, it is demonstrated to people that He exists through your life, through your conduct, your character! There is a difference, there is a before and an after, the old and the new, the darkness and the light!
When family members, schoolmates and co-workers speak with irony and criticize, it will not make you feel inferior, on the contrary, all is well, you remain in your belief, because you are brave to live in a different way from the rest … And deep inside, these people who see you admire you for the courage of having gone against the world and having your own personality!
Now that’s being a witness, it’s being light where there is darkness! It’s showing the difference when speaking, in reacting, in dressing, in friendships, in the respect for parents, in the obedience to the Word of God, in thinking before acting, in controlling your own feelings, in valuing yourself and not surrender to the first boy who is interested in you, and in saving your intimacy until marriage!
Being a witness is making people believe in the Lord Jesus because they see Him through you, and the desire to be just as you are is passed on to them!
When we are witnesses of the Lord Jesus, we are special—unique!
Don’t ever disregard this privilege!

This was powerful. More youth or anybody in general should really let God work through them so they can be used to do his work.

We as servants of God need to set an example of the way we present ourselves outside of the church,we need to deny ourselves and take more pleasure in teaching others about God wonders and make them a witness of our Lord Jesus.

Thus true and at the same time it is not easy to be different from everybody else. That is where we need the Spirit of God to confirm and make us to be witnesses thank you for this nessage

Sometimes as Christians we can cause people around us to doubt God’s existence because of the way we behave i.e in a manner that doesn’t show the character of God and such Christianity is multiplying on a daily basis. When we are witnesses of the Lord, there’s no way we can mis-represent Him.
Thank you for this post.
