Why a Testimony?
Besides the obvious, that is, testimonies declare the goodness of God, encourage those who hear them, continue to ‘give credit where credit is due’, God loves to reveal Himself and His Promises through them!
Testimonies: The Bible gives us many symbols and stories to inspire us and encourage us. When the Lord brought His children out of Egypt, a type of our initial salvation, He had them put the tablets of stone (His Word) in what was called the ‘Ark of the Testimony’. After a period of time in the wilderness, on their way to the Promised Land, it was referred to as the ‘Ark of the Covenant’.
In other words, the Testimony of what He had done became the Promise of His continued involvement and blessing in their lives. They had a Covenant with God, based on His Promises … what He had done and what He promised He would do.
We believe every testimony is a fulfillment of His promises; and is a promise to you of what He’ll do for you if you enter a covenant relationship with Him!
