FAITH’S TESTIMONIES

27^TH ,FEBRUARY 2022

BIBLE IN ONE YEAR: 1 Corinthians 12-14

TEXT:  Hebrews 11:32-40

 32 And what more shall I say? For the time would fail me to tell of Gideon and Barak and Samson and Jephthah, also of David and Samuel and the prophets: 

33 who through faith subdued kingdoms, worked righteousness, obtained promises, stopped the mouths of lions, 

34 quenched the violence of fire, escaped the edge of the sword, out of weakness were made strong, became valiant in battle, turned to flight the armies of the aliens. 

35 Women received their dead raised to life again. Others were tortured, not accepting deliverance, that they might obtain a better resurrection. 

36 Still others had trial of mockings and scourgings, yes, and of chains and imprisonment. 

37 They were stoned, they were sawn in two, [a]were tempted, were slain with the sword. They wandered about in sheepskins and goatskins, being destitute, afflicted, tormented— 

38 of whom the world was not worthy. They wandered in deserts and mountains, in dens and caves of the earth.

39 And all these, having obtained a good testimony through faith, did not receive the promise, 

40 God having provided something better for us, that they should not be made perfect apart from us.

KEY VERSE: Hebrews 11:39

“And these all, having obtained a good report through faith, received not the promise.”

THOUGHT FOR THE DAY:

Live for God’s glory to be in the number.

THE MESSAGE:

Thomas Jefferson was reputed to have been an ardent follower of the life and teachings of Jesus Christ of Nazareth. It was reported that after reading the four synoptic gospels of Christ, he extracted only the words of Christ and turned them into a book, which he titled: The Life and Words of Jesus of Nazareth. This text later became the Jefferson Bible.

God, in all ages, has continued to raise faithful and courageous men and women who delight in Him. They, through divine grace, did great exploits. The account in our text shows evidently how godly men and women in Bible day expressed their love and loyalty to God and the heavenly cause.

The catalogue of faithful saints ranged from Abel, the first martyr to Moses the great charismatic leader of God’s people, down to the great prophets and kings who hazarded their lives, comforts and reputations in the course of the defence of their faith in Jehovah. The poor, needy and vulnerable folks, including women, were not left out. Some of them were tortured but refused to compromise: all they wanted was to obtain a better resurrection (Hebrews 11:35).

Dear reader, you can have your share of the good testimony from Christ if you turn your life genuinely to Him in repentance and faithfully follow His teachings and ways as enunciated in the Scriptures. The list of heroes of faith is still being compiled and your name could be the next in the roll. Indeed, the Lord has great plans for you. His thought towards you are pleasant ones to give you a future and hope (Jeremiah 29:11).

DO HAVE A BLESSED DAY
