"THE POWER OF A TESTIMONY"

Exodus 16:33 And Moses said unto Aaron, Take a pot, and put an omer full of manna therein, and lay it up before the Lord, to be kept for your generations.

There is nothing like a good testimony to stir up hope and build up faith. God told Moses to put some of the manna in a pot and store it up for future generations to see how God provided for them. The manna would later be put into the ark of the covenant, and it would serve as a reminder of God's care for His own. I love to hear from godly men and women that testify of God's ability and desire to deliver, provide, sustain and save. I always think to myself "if God did that for them, He can do it for me!" And you know what? He can, and He has! The longer that I live, the more manna that I'm able to store away for future generations to see the amazingly awesome God that I serve. I have to wonder to myself how many times the children of Israel had to be reminded that God would come through for them. Maybe one of the elders would go and grab that old pot and say "Look in this pot! This is bread from heaven that God rained down upon us while we were wandering in the wilderness!" I would bet that at the sight of the manna and the testimony that followed it, that all the doubters would grow silent. If you will pay attention today, you'll see that there are a lot of doubters in this world, and you might could change someone's perspective completely with just a testimony about the goodness of God.

  2. During hard times I repeatedly say " God was there before and He will be here now"! Testimonies put feul to the fire of God's presence. Along with the blood of the Lamb, we will overcome! This power is unlike any in existence. When we stand beside a huge water fall or the waves of the ocean, or watch a terrifying tornado of tsunami, what we see and feel is nothing compared to the Blood of the Lamb and word of our testimony! Revelation from God has to be controlled for it's power is much greater than we can handle. This power crushes the head of the serpent. Is it a wonder that the devil fights against us so much! Thank God for His sovereignty!
