TOPIC: SHARE YOUR TESTIMONIES

TEXT: JOHN 1: 43-51
 
43. The next day Jesus decided to leave for Galilee. Finding Philip, he said to him, “Follow me.”
44. Philip, like Andrew and Peter, was from the town of Bethsaida. 
45. Philip found Nathanael and told him, “We have found the one Moses wrote about in the Law, and about whom the prophets also wrote—Jesus of Nazareth, the son of Joseph.”
46 “Nazareth! Can anything good come from there?” Nathanael asked. “Come and see,” said Philip.
47. When Jesus saw Nathanael approaching, he said of him, “Here truly is an Israelite in whom there is no deceit.”
48. “How do you know me?” Nathanael asked.
Jesus answered, “I saw you while you were still under the fig tree before Philip called you.”
49. Then Nathanael declared, “Rabbi, you are the Son of God; you are the king of Israel.”
50. Jesus said, “You believe because I told you I saw you under the fig tree. You will see greater things than that.” 
51. He then added, “Very truly I tell you, you will see ‘heaven open, and the angels of God ascending and descending on’ the Son of Man.”

MESSAGE:
The testimony of Philip concerning Jesus was what was required to introduce Nathaniel to the Author of life. How often have we shared our testimonies of Christ among family and friends? Notice the show of doubt in Nathaniel (v. 46): “Can anything good come from Nazareth?” The world has found it difficult to believe that the author of life could have such a poor beginning and die such a shameful death. Notice that Philip did not argue with Nathaniel when he doubted but only said to him “Come and see!”
At times, we engage in arguments and reasoning in trying to convince sinners, but it is unnecessary, because the message of the Cross does not make sense to the natural mind; however, it is still the power of God unto salvation (Romans 1 : 16). Our commitment to witnessing is all that God needs to draw the unsaved to Himself. Always share your testimonies.

Prayer: 
Dear Lord, help me to share Your goodness to me with everyone. Amen.

EXCERPTS FROM: 24/7 WARFARE PRAYERS AND SUPERNATURAL BREAKTHROUGH MANUAL

INTRODUCTION Right from childhood, the number “SEVEN” has always been an intrigue, an interesting puzzle, a fascination, and a great phenomenon to me. I was actually born on the seventh day of the month; perhaps this was one of the reasons why something leaps inside of me whenever I see the number. But as I grew up in the Christian faith I began to see a regular reference to it the scriptures. I was kind of saying, whoa! Holy bliss! Seven occurs 257 times, or 7 × 41 Seventh, the fractional part occurs 98 times or 7× 14 Seven –fold occurs 7 times. Seventy occurs 56 times or 7× 8 “Seventy” in combination with other numbers occurs 35 times or 7× 5. God is pleased to stamp the number “Seven” with the seal of perfection and completeness. God never down played the importance of the number, because it was the number of God. It is a carrier of God’s mysteries. It pleased God that, the Seventh man from Adam – Enoch sh
