READ: Matthew 5:13-16
13 Ye are the salt of the earth: but if the salt have lost his savour, wherewith shall it be salted? it is thenceforth good for nothing, but to be cast out, and to be trodden under foot of men.
14 Ye are the light of the world. A city that is set on an hill cannot be hid.
15 Neither do men light a candle, and put it under a bushel, but on a candlestick; and it giveth light unto all that are in the house.
16 Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven.
BIBLE IN ONE YEAR: 1 Samuel 1-3
MESSAGE:
A testimonial is an official statement that describes an individual’s abilities, qualities and character. This could be written by someone’s former employer or head of the academic institution where the individual was a student. Sometimes, this could be used to get a job. Just as men assess fellow men and issue out a report of their assessment. so also does God.
Many years ago, I stumbled on the testimonial that was issued to me from Ilesha Grammar School in 1960 while searching for the documents I needed to apply for a visa. In it, my principal wrote that I was ‘cool, calm and collected.’ That appeared to be more of a prophecy because to the best of my knowledge, I was nowhere near that.
As a child of God, the people you relate with and God in Heaven must be able to testify that you’re a child of God indeed. If they have a different testimony, something is wrong. However, you can correct that by giving your life to Jesus today and allowing Him to work on you like He did on me.
REFLECTION:
What do people say about you?
HYMN 7 – Just As I Am, Without One Plea
Just as I am, without one plea,But that Thy blood was shed for meAnd that Thou bidst me come to Thee,Oh Lamb of God I come, I come.
Just as I am, and waiting notTo rid my soul of one dark blotTo Thee, whose blood can cleanse each spotOh Lamb of God I come, I come.
Just as I am though tossed about,With many a conflict, many a doubt,Fighting’s and fears within, without,Oh Lamb of God I come, I come.
Just as I am poor, wretched, blind,Sight, riches, healing of the mindYea, all I need, in Thee to findOh Lamb of God I come, I come.
Just as I am, Thou wilt receive,Wilt welcome, pardon, cleanse, relieve,Because Thy promise I believeOh Lamb of God I come, I come.
Just as I am Thy love unknownHas broken every barrier down;Now to be Thine, yea Thine alone,Oh Lamb of God I come, I come.
Just as I am, of that free loveThe breadth, length, depth andheight to prove,Here for a season, then above,Oh Lamb of God I come, I come.
