Who bears your Witness?
Acts 19:15 And the evil spirit answered and said, Jesus I know, and Paul I know; but who are ye?
bearing witness is an act of giving evidence to confirm events happened and the things said are true
As we have been redeemed from the guilt of sin and death, we have become a new citizen of a kingdom different from that of this world, a kingdom of righteousness and holiness, we then walk in the newness of the spirit, and we become identified with Christ
As we have been identified with Christ, becoming a witness of God in the world, then God must witness us and the devil must witness us too. We must be identified by God as His true servant and satan must identify us too as a threat to his kingdom.
In the life of Job, God bears witness about him as His true servant and can never deny Him for whatever that happens,
Job 1:8 And the LORD said unto Satan, Hast thou considered my servant Job, that there is none like him in the earth, a perfect and an upright man, one that feareth God, and escheweth evil? 1:9 Then Satan answered the LORD, and said, Doth Job fear God for nought? 1:10 Hast not thou made an hedge about him, and about his house, and about all that he hath on every side? thou hast blessed the work of his hands, and his substance is increased in the land.
This is the greatest accolade a man can ever receive from God, He was so sure of His relationship with job that He challenged satan to tempt Him. Even satan himself recognised Job as a true son of God.
Can Satan witness you to be a true God's servant?
In the same view, Christ and Apostle Paul was witnessed by a demon possessed as having the true power of God.
Acts 19:15 And the evil spirit answered and said, Jesus I know, and Paul I know; but who are ye?
Some fellow had gone out to imitate Apostle Paul in casting out demons, but the evil spirit was able to differentiate between a true servant of God and fraudsters.
They were mercilessly dealt with in the language they understand
Acts 19:16 And the man in whom the evil spirit was leaped on them, and overcame them, and prevailed against them, so that they fled out of that house naked and wounded.
Who bears your witness?, it is not enough for people to know you as a child of God, it is not enough for people to see you as a church addict, God must bear your witness, and satan must bear your witness too.
The moment you identify yourself with Christ, that movement you just become wanted in the kingdom of Satan.
Don't deceive yourself, God knows who are truly His
John 15:16 Ye have not chosen me, but I have chosen you, and ordained you, that ye should go and bring forth fruit, and that your fruit should remain: that whatsoever ye shall ask of the Father in my name, he may give it you.
As God as chosen you, then you must bear fruit for Him and your fruit must remain. By this, the name of Christ will be honoured and God will be glorified.
Who bears your witness today?
If Satan has not bear you witness, then you are yet to be a child of God.
Check your life and make amends.
God bless you.
