Prayer before the Word:

TODAY’S TOPIC: Testimonies
Text: John 1:19-28 (NIV):
"1:19. Now this was John's testimony when the Jews of Jerusalem sent priests and Levites to ask him who he was.
1:20. He did not fail to confess, but confessed freely, "I am not the Christ."
1:21. They asked him, "Then who are you? Are you Elijah?" He said, "I am not." "Are you the Prophet?" He answered, "No."
1:22. Finally they said, "Who are you? Give us an answer to take back to those who sent us. What do you say about yourself?"
1:23. John replied in the words of Isaiah the prophet, "I am the voice of one calling in the desert, 'Make straight the way for the Lord.'"
1:24. Now some Pharisees who had been sent
1:25. questioned him, "Why then do you baptize if you are not the Christ, nor Elijah, nor the Prophet?"
1:26. "I baptize with water," John replied, "but among you stands one you do not know.
1:27. He is the one who comes after me, the thongs of whose sandals I am not worthy to untie."
1:28. This all happened at Bethany on the other side of the Jordan, where John was baptizing."
SHOWER (Reflection):
This is season of testimonies. The year is coming to an end in about two weeks time. What has God done to you this year that you are yet to honour or celebrate him? That you are alive from January to December, is a great testimony. Go on and testify of God's goodness before men and women. Go to motherless babies homes, Old people homes, street beggars and so on to celebrate with them. Let them have you to testify to God about. John testified about Jesus; a man whose thong's sandals he cannot remove. What of you? What can people say about you tomorrow ? Make an amend today as we journey to 2023!!!
