What does God says about me?
Acts 13:22“And when He had removed him, He raised up for them David as king, to whom also He gave testimony and said, ‘I have found David the son of Jesse, a man after My own heart, who will do all My will.”
1Samuel 13:14 “But now your kingdom shall not continue. The Lord has sought for Himself a man after His own heart, and the Lord has commanded him to be commander over His people, because you have not kept what the Lord commanded you.”
From the above two verses we see, God himself testifying about David,as a man after God’s own heart, and the one who does God’s will. Isn’t it amazing when God himself testifies about a man .We can testify that God is Good,Worthy,has done many good things, but what testimony would God give about us?
We all know that God the Father testified about Jesus.At the Jordan river, Jesus was baptised and when he came out of the water the heavens opened and a voice came from heaven saying “This is my beloved son ,in whom I am well pleased.”Likewise John the Baptist also testified “Behold!The lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world”.
Today,What can God the Father testify about us?Many a times we are keen to know what kind of testimony people give about us,we think about it,we also enquire to know if the people are talking good about us,great about us .Have we ever regarded to receive a good report from Our Heavenly Father? We all know that the best students from schools and colleges and also best performer from government offices receive “Certificate “.
Rather than receiving good certificates from the people of the world,how great it would be to receive such report from Our Heavenly Father.
David:
We already saw that God testified about David saying a man after God’s own heart. The man who does my Will is indeed commendable.
Let’s see how God has testified about a few more
Moses:
Numbers 12:7-8
“Not so with My servant Moses;He is faithful in all My house.I speak with him face to face,Even plainly,and not in dark sayings;And he sees the form of the Lord.Why then were you not afraid
To speak against My servant Moses?”.God testified about Moses in front of Aaron and Miriam.Can God testify about us in such a way?Is our life all true?Is our words,works true?Can God look at us and say my true and faithful servant?
Job
Job1:8
“Then the Lord said to Satan, “Have you considered My servant Job, that there is none like him on the earth, a blameless and upright man, one who fears God and shuns evil?”
What an wonderful testimony we see about Job especially Before the devil.Like how God gave a testimony about Job,can God share a testimony about us?
He or She is best,good morale,there is none like him/her; before men,before the devil can God testify about our life ?
Nathanael:
John 1:47
“Jesus saw Nathanael coming toward Him, and said of him, “Behold, an Israelite indeed, in whom is no deceit!”
Jesus testified that Nathanael is without deceit can God testify that we are innocent and without deceit and a righteous child regarding us?
Beloved,God is one who sees us,who knows us and there is nothing hidden from Him.Today can God testify that we are innocent,good conduct Israelite?
Centurion:
Out of the hundred servants,when one of the servant of the Centurion was sick,he came to Jesus and told,say just one word and my servant will be healed
Mathew 8:10
“When Jesus heard it, He marveled, and said to those who followed, “Assuredly, I say to you, I have not found such great faith, not even in Israel!”.
Jesus marvelled.Centurion didn’t call Jesus home,neither did he say come and touch my servant and heal.Instead he told just say one word,his faith was marvellous to Jesus.Have we at any point of life mentioned,Lord just say a word,I believe there is power in your word ?
Luke 12:8 “Also I say to you, whoever confesses Me before men, him the Son of Man also will confess before the angels of God.”
Are we proclaiming about God before men?or are we hesitating?are we fearful?ashamed?When we proclaim and declare about our God before men , Our God testifies about us to the angels in heaven.
Hence receiving a good report from men is nothing.But The Creator who created everything,who said heaven is my throne and earth is my footstool,God who is,who was and is to come ,The King of kings,The Almighty God testifying about us that we are the man after His own heart,true in all ways,best,good conduct,innocent righteous Israelite,great faith in none like her,not only before men,but also before the devil and also before the heavenly angels,May the Lord testify our lives as such.
Let us all strive to live a life which pleases God,and that God himself can testify regarding us.In Jesus Name,Amen
