TOPIC: SURPASSING EXPECTATIONS THROUGH FAITH AND TESTIMONIES
“And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb and by the word of their testimony.” Revelation 12:11
INTRODUCTION
Testimony is the language of the redeemed. Testimonies inspire hope and faith.
Expecting the Unexpected
1. God’s power surpasses human limitations: “For the foolishness of God is wiser than human wisdom, and the weakness of God is stronger than human strength.” 1 Corinthians 1:25
2. Trust in God’s plans: “For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.” – Jeremiah 29:11
Testimonies of Faith
1. Abraham’s faith: “Against all hope, Abraham in hope believed and so became the father of many nations.” – Romans 4:18
2. The woman with the issue of blood: “She came up behind him and touched the edge of his cloak, and immediately her bleeding stopped.” – Luke 8:44
Overcoming Challenges
1. David and Goliath: “You come against me with sword and spear and javelin, but I come against you in the name of the Lord Almighty.” – 1 Samuel 17:45
2. Paul’s thorn in the flesh: “But he said to me, ‘My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.'” – 2 Corinthians 12:9
Since testimonies inspire faith and hope, expect great things from God this month. (Romans 10:17, Ephesians 3:20). Your testimony is a testament to God’s unfailing grace. Where you were and where you are now is a story of transformation, faith, and divine intervention.
God’s grace has carried you through them all. Never underestimate the power of sharing your testimony. It is a light to someone still in the dark, a reminder to the weary that God is still in the business of lifting, restoring, and blessing. “Let the redeemed of the Lord say so, whom He has redeemed from the hand of the enemy” (Psalm 107:2).
God is going to do miracles in your life far beyond your expectations!
Happy New Month
