4 Reasons to Share Your Boring Testimony Anyway

  • God wants you to be a neighbor (Mark 12:31). God is not looking for people to move mountains, He can do that on his own.Instead, God wants us to invest in the lives of those around us. You might think there’s nothing special about being someone’s friend, someone’s coach, someone’s teacher, but these relationships can make a real and lasting change. You don’t need a wild testimony to lead someone to Christ, the quality of your actions will give your story all the meaning it needs.

    1. “You have been sealed and indwelled by the Holy Spirit; God himself lives in you (Eph. 1:13)!  Rather than being separated from God by sin or relating to God through the vicarious ministry of another (as Old Covenant believers did), God himself lives within you. He guides you into all truth, convicts you of sin, prays for you when you don’t know what to pray, comforts you and empowers you for ministry.”
    2. Little things can change the world (Luke 17:6). In the book of Mark, Jesus and his disciples witness a poor widow give two copper coins to the temple. Upon seeing this, Jesus declares she has given more to God than anyone else. In another story, the disciples are tasked with feeding five thousand people, yet all they have are five loaves of bread and two fish offered up by a small boy. In both cases, Jesus demonstrates his ability to take our meager offerings and turn them into something spectacular. The same is true for our testimonies. If we simply speak the truth, God will do the rest.maxresdefaultkk

    Don’t be afraid to share your story, no matter how boring it may seem. For with God, even the humblest offering can change the course of the future.
