REVELATION 19:11-16
Obedience
is one of the most important prerequisites for qualification for the heavenly
Kingdom. God’s words are eternal decrees which must be obeyed. The universal
king has decreed: you have no choice but to obey. Who is the universal King?
Revelation 19:12-14 gives us the answer: “His eyes were like a flame of fire, and on
His head were many crowns. He had a name written that no one knew except
Himself. He was clothed with a robe dipped in blood, and His name is called the
Word of God. And the armies in heaven, clothed in fine linen, white and clean,
followed Him on white horses.” Jesus is the King that cannot be
confronted. If any problem comes your way as child of God, those who fight
against you are fighting against God. But if you join God’s enemies and begin
to fight against Him, you might put God in an embarrassing situation. If you
praise God He will be the One to ask you what you want Him to do for you. Here,
the Lord Jesus Christ told the disciples that they would receive power when the
Holy Ghost has come upon them. This is a beautiful promise indeed and it has
been fulfilled in the lives of many people. Many of us have received power when
the Holy Ghost came upon us. Attached to this promise is a commandment that we
should be witnesses unto Him. Who is a witness? A witness is someone who speaks
in your favour when you stand accused before a judge. We are witnesses of Jesus
Christ. If He is called a liar and a pretender, can you defend Him? Jesus
Christ knew that there would be people who would constantly accused Him. There
are those who call Jesus Christ a liar. Some say He was pretender. Others say
that He cannot heal today and that He never really healed in those days.
Witnessing involves telling who Jesus is. It is different from preaching. It is
telling other people what you know about Jesus Christ. Tell others what you
know about Jesus Christ. If they say He is dead, say He is alive. If they say
He is not the Son of God, tell them that, without doubt, He is the Son of God.
If they say He is a liar, tell them that His name is the Truth. If they say He
is a magician, tell them that He is not a magician but the Almighty God
Himself. This is what we call witnessing. Do this and He will do the rest. Just
obey and He will prove Himself in your life. Speak the word of God; demonstrate
His power to save to the uttermost.
