In what ways can we testify about God's mighty acts to others? Eyes That Have Seen “For your own eyes have seen every great work that the LORD has done.” (Deuteronomy 11:7) Why Our Testimony Matters • The mighty acts recorded in Scripture are historical facts; recounting them honors the God who truly performed them (Psalm 105:1–2). • God commands His people to “make known among the nations what He has done” (Psalm 105:1). • Our witness strengthens faith in fellow believers and invites the lost to trust the living God (1 Peter 2:9; Revelation 12:11). Practical Ways to Testify of God’s Mighty Acts 1. Tell Your Own Story • Share concrete moments when the Lord intervened—healing, provision, protection. • Like the demoniac in Mark 5:19, “tell them what great things the Lord has done for you.” 2. Recount His Works in Scripture • Relay accounts such as the Red Sea crossing (Exodus 14) and the resurrection of Jesus (Luke 24:6–7). • Confidence grows when people hear that these events literally happened and still reveal God’s character. 3. Teach the Next Generation • “Teach them diligently to your children” (Deuteronomy 6:7). • Psalm 78:4—“We will not hide them from their children; we will tell the next generation the praiseworthy deeds of the LORD.” 4. Live Out Obedience • Visible faithfulness proves God’s power to transform lives (Matthew 5:16). • Israel’s obedience in the land was itself a testimony of God’s greatness (Deuteronomy 4:6–8). 5. Build Memorials and Keepsakes • Joshua 4:6–7—twelve stones prompted future conversations about the Jordan miracle. • Journals, artwork, or online posts can serve the same purpose today. 6. Praise Publicly • Psalm 145:4–6—“One generation will declare Your works to the next.” • Singing, corporate worship, and spontaneous thanksgiving turn praise into proclamation. 7. Serve in Love • Tangible acts of mercy echo the Lord’s mighty act of the cross (1 John 3:16–18). • When compassion answers prayer, it becomes a living illustration of His power. 8. Proclaim the Gospel Clearly • The death and resurrection of Jesus remains God’s greatest act (1 Corinthians 15:3–4). • Speak it plainly; “we cannot stop speaking about what we have seen and heard” (Acts 4:20). 9. Use Written and Digital Platforms • “Let this be written for a future generation” (Psalm 102:18). • Articles, blogs, and social media posts multiply the reach of your testimony. Encouragement to Keep Going The same Lord who parted seas, toppled Jericho’s walls, and raised His Son from the grave still works mightily today. Keep your eyes open, your heart grateful, and your lips ready; the world needs to hear what you have seen the Lord do. |
