➡️INTRODUCTION
➡️Question: Who is a witness
A witness is one who testifies in a course of an event.
It is someone who has personal and indepth knowledge of what had happened.
We are not witness of only the physical things but also of the spiritual event of Jesus Christ. We are witness of His birth, miracles, works, death and resurrection and His ascension.
➡️Attributes of Witnesses of Jesus Christ:
📝 A messenger: According to Matthew 28:19-20. We are messengers of Jesus Christ and is our work to portray Christ in works and in character. We ought to keep ourselves as ambassadors of Jesus Christ in everywhere we go and even in our discussion. We do not need to be like the people in the world.
➡️Points to Note
•As an ambassador of Jesus Christ, know that someone is constantly watching you, Let them see Christ in you and not the other way round.
📝 Gentleness and humility: (2Tim 2:24_24) Christ portrays tenderness, humility,peace,love,sincerity and as such People need to see that in you. We ought not to strife or have harshness in our conduct unto all men. We should teach Christ through our utterances and be meek and patient even when dealing with anger. Through this, one could repent and follow God.
📝 Self-Control: (Proverbs 16:32). He that is slow to anger is greater than the mighty and He who can control is Spirit is better than ye that taketh a city.
Without Self-Control people will not see God in us. (1 Corinthians 6:9-10)
The speaker summarizes the sermon with a story of events that happened to a colleague at work and to Him.
➡️Advice
We should know that people are watching us, so is God therefore we should be ye separate from what people do irrespective of the situation we find ourselves.
➡️Conclusion
1 Thessalonians 5:6-11
