“Testimony Time”
Monday, July 14, 2025Key Verse
“And I thank Christ Jesus our Lord, who hath enabled me, for that he counted me faithful, putting me in the ministry” (1 Timothy 1:12).
Text —1 Timothy 1: 12-16
Message
The high point of the life history of Apostle Paul was when he met Christ on the way to Damascus. This event so filled him with awe and joy that he often testified of it afterwards. In Damascus, “…straightway he preached Christ in the synagogues, that he is the Son of God” (Acts 9:20). Before Festus and King Agrippa he so powerfully testified of Jesus and how He saved him, that King Agrippa declared that Paul had almost persuaded him to be a Christian (Acts 26:1-32). The story and testimony of the Samaritan woman that encountered Jesus at Jacob’s well is also very striking and it shows how excited a new convert should be in testifying about the Saviour. She was an adulteress, but on conversion, brought many Samaritans to believe in Jesus (John 4: 5-42).
In our text, Paul declared that he was a blasphemer, a persecutor, an injurious person and a sinner, but Christ graciously saved him and also put him in the ministry. Beloved, never hide your salvation story. It is the greatest testimony – tell it that others might believe.
