How can we "make known to men Your mighty acts" in daily life? The Call in Psalm 145:11-12 “They shall speak of the glory of Your kingdom and tell of Your might, to make known to men Your mighty acts and the glorious splendor of Your kingdom.” Root Your Own Heart in His Mighty Acts • Read the historical works of God aloud—Exodus 14, Joshua 3, 1 Kings 18, Luke 24. • Memorize and meditate on key rescue verses (e.g., Isaiah 12:2; Romans 5:8) so His works stay fresh on your lips. • Keep a journal of personal and family answers to prayer; review it regularly. Weave Testimony into Everyday Conversation • Replace vague “I was lucky” with “The Lord provided.” • Share recent answered prayer when greeting coworkers or neighbors. • Tie daily events back to gospel truth—“Jesus calmed storms then, and He gave me peace today.” Let Your Light Preach Matthew 5:16—“Let your light shine before men, that they may see your good deeds and glorify your Father in heaven.” • Offer help before it is requested. • Deliver meals, mow a lawn, babysit; mention that you serve because Christ first served you (Mark 10:45). • Invite recipients to read the miracle account that inspires you. Practice Intentional Hospitality • Open your table: Acts 2:46 models believers breaking bread with glad hearts. • Share stories of God’s faithfulness over dessert; Scripture comes to life around shared meals. • Keep Bibles within reach; read a Psalm before parting. Steward Digital Platforms • Post brief Scripture art or personal testimonials rather than arguments. • Celebrate God’s works publicly: “Praise God—He healed my aunt after we prayed! (Psalm 103:2-3).” • Link to solid sermons or articles explaining the gospel (Romans 1:16). Disciple the Next Generation Deuteronomy 6:6-7—“These words I command you today are to be upon your hearts. And you shall teach them diligently to your children…” • Share bedtime “God stories” from Scripture and your life. • Encourage kids to recount blessings at the dinner table. • Involve them in service projects so they see God’s power at work. Cultivate Readiness to Explain 1 Peter 3:15—“Always be prepared to give an answer to everyone who asks you to give the reason for the hope that is in you.” • Keep a clear, concise gospel outline handy. • Rehearse a two-minute testimony of Christ’s saving act in your life. • Carry a pocket-sized Gospel of John for spontaneous conversations. Walk in Visible Holiness and Joy • Resist grumbling; joy signals divine intervention (Philippians 2:14-16). • Live with financial integrity and sexual purity; holy difference attracts questions. • When applauded, redirect glory: “Any good in me is Christ in me” (Galatians 2:20). Pray for Open Doors and Boldness Colossians 4:3-6 urges prayer “that God may open to us a door for the word, so that we may proclaim the mystery of Christ…”. • Ask daily for God-appointed conversations. • Depend on the Spirit, who empowers witness (Acts 1:8). Persevere in Proclamation Psalm 71:15-18 models lifelong testimony: “My mouth will tell of Your righteousness, of Your salvation all day long…”. • Keep speaking, serving, writing, and singing about His mighty acts until He calls you home. |
