Each day of our lives, each one of us is presented with a golden opportunity to witness to others about the goodness of our God. Success in this line of duty depends on whether or not we are aware of our calling to witness and on how keen we are to such kind of opportunities!
Throughout the centuries, many have taken the courage to use their opportunities to the maximum. Let us see a few examples:
1. Genesis chapter 39 tells us that the young man Joseph stood firm for that which he was convinced was the truth.
2. Daniel Chapter 1 tells us that away from his parents and country of origin,the young man Daniel purposed in his heart to be faithful to his God no matter what!
3.Daniel chapter three tells us that the three Hebrew boys stood firm at the time when such a decision was so un-popular and faced the possibility of loosing their lives.
4.All it took for the slave girl to witness to Naaman,the commander of the army was the statement,”If only my master would see the prophet who is in Samaria! He would cure him of his leprosy.” (2 Kings 5:2.)
5.And, the gospels tell us that the man of Galilee preferred His ministry of witnessing to even the basic needs of life such as food. He always started with one, such as the Samaritan woman, and ended witnessing to the whole village.

Each one of us is presented with an opportunity that is so unique and different from others-in riding a bus, on the road, at our homes, at our places of work, at the social gatherings, the way we talk, dress,eat, and many others. How I pray that we be aware of such opportunities and make use of whatever is available!
In the end,someone will come to you and say, “it was because of you that I got to know Jesus Christ as my personal Savior!” What a testimony!
Dear fellow soldiers, let us move forward by faith, letting all those that we come across to know without any doubts whatsoever of how great our Lord is. Shall we!
Blessings to each one.
Your fellow witness,
