Verse of the Day: Matthew 28:19
”Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit”
In our journey as witnesses for Christ, we may encounter trials and sufferings. Just as a witness in a courtroom faces threats and intimidation, so too do we, as bearers of the testimony of Christ, face opposition from the enemy.
The early apostles experienced firsthand the trials that come with bearing witness to Christ. They were threatened, beaten, and imprisoned for boldly proclaiming the Gospel. Yet, they remained steadfast in their faith, knowing that they were sharing the most precious testimony—the testimony of Jesus Christ.
As believers, we are also targets for the enemy's schemes. The Devil seeks to silence us, to hinder us from sharing the truth of Christ's love and salvation. But we need not fear, for Jesus Himself promised to be with us always, even to the end of the age. He empowers us to endure trials and tribulations, and He comforts us through the presence of the Holy Spirit.
We stand firm in the knowledge that nothing can separate us from the love of God. We are defiant against every force that opposes the testimony of Christ, knowing that our allegiance is to Him alone. With boldness and courage, let us continue to share the testimony of Jesus Christ, knowing that He is with us every step of the way.
