- 0:09world. The Word of God is the life support of our feet. Relieve
- 0:14by the world of God. The Campaigners Podcast episode Gods would make quick profitable.
- 0:22Blessed be God. This is fate feed on episode eighty seven, I'll
- 0:27be talking about the Testament of the believer. Testament of the Believer Revelation,
- 0:35Chapter twelve, verse eleven. And they overcame by the blood of the lamp
- 0:41and by the world of their testimony, for they loved not their lives onto
- 0:48death, onto death. This last phrase shows us the efforts of a believer
- 0:55towards his testament, because a testament refers to the legacy, because if there
- 1:00is no testament, it will reflect and may affect the generations of a believer.
- 1:07So the testament refers to a legacy that the believer leaves behind. It
- 1:14is what gives a believer purpose in this kingdom. Note there are two dimensions
- 1:19that makes up the testament of a believer, and the first dimension will be
- 1:25talking about is that of the blood of the lamb. Look twenty two verse
- 1:30twenty. Likewise, also the cop after supper saying this Jesus speaking this cop
- 1:37is the new testament in my blood, which is shared for you. The
- 1:44testament of the blood refers to the speakings of the blood. Remember when the
- 1:49Bible talks about thus in Hebrews twel verse twenty four, that the blood of
- 1:53Jesus speak gets better things than that of Abel. Yes, so these speakings
- 1:59of the blood, of the blod of Christ is the testimony of God.
- 2:02This is the work of God, This is God's doing, God's ordination,
- 2:07this is God's predestination. This is what God has set in place for the
- 2:12believers. And that is why our overcoming first starts from the testimony of God,
- 2:19the speakings of the blood. That is it, what makes up the
- 2:23testament, is a testimony, and so the speakings of the blood is part
- 2:28of the testimony that forms the testament of the believer. Now the second is
- 2:34the word of testimony, the overcoming by the blood and by the words of
- 2:38their testimony. Now, this word of testimony simply talks about the believers work.
- 2:46The believers work first Beitachapter three, verse fifteen to sisteen. But in
- 2:52your hearts honor Christ, the Lord has Holy, always been prepared to make
- 2:59a defense to anyone who asks you for a reason for the hope that is
- 3:04in you. Yet do it with gentleness and respect, having a good conscience,
- 3:10so that when you as landed, those who reveal your good works,
- 3:15those who rever your good behavior in Christ, may be put to shame.
- 3:21This scripture simply summarizes the reason why you must have a testimony backed by clear
- 3:28conscience, a clear conscience that backs your testimony as a believer. So this
- 3:34second dimension talks about the testimonial of the believer. A testimonial is like a
- 3:42declaration, is certificate of a good conduct character, you know, a qualification
- 3:51of an individual, the value of a believer. Yes, so, because
- 3:54to be honest with you, your testimony will have no authority if there are
- 4:00no efforts made. That's why we read in that last phrase in the beginning
- 4:03that they loved not their lives onto deaths. So the world of testimony is
- 4:10not just by the Mount's by action. And that is why when you see
- 4:14people at cross junctions of their life, they remind God of their sacrifices.
- 4:19They bring to light spiritual laws that have been done that they have done.
- 4:25So, even the simple law of giving can form the testimony of a believer.
- 4:30Why do people first for long? Why do people pray for long?
- 4:34Is simply for a better testimony which will form a testimonial which will be part
- 4:41of the testament of that believer. So, like I said, in as
- 4:46much as you have faith for the blood, for the speakings of the blood,
- 4:48the testimony of God upon your life on God's world concerning you, must
- 4:54also be ready. In order for your testament to live on, to stand,
- 5:00you must be ready. We must be intentional in creating that legacy.
- 5:04And you cannot create that legacy without sacrifice, without efforts for the kingdom,
- 5:11with loving your life onto debt. Note, the testament of the believer is
- 5:15a gradual thing that builds up, and so in as much as you have
- 5:19completed the necessity of fate of having faith, you must walk towards the second
- 5:27dimension. And that is what will determine because there is the work of faith.
- 5:32This is what we determine the testimony of the believer. Inasmuch as you
- 5:38are a believer, one of the things that you must seek is keeping a
- 5:42legacy, a legacy that makes people look up to you a legacy that will
- 5:46keep speaking in your generation. That is a test that is born from a
- 5:50testament. The testament of a believer is what we determine the reward, the
- 5:57reward of that believer. As believers, we must make efforts ensuring that we
- 6:03are leaving a good reputation, a good legacy, a good pattern, a
- 6:10good foundation behind. And remember it doesn't just start. You must start now
- 6:15to build that testament, that legacy. I remained the fake campaigner of Christ.

- 6:29your waters out of your relish flow, rivers of living waters. Blessed the
- 6:34God for eternity and keying m brought to you by the faith campaigners of Christ,
