Turn to your Neighbour and Say…..God is good

Scripture Reading
1 John 5:11 “This is the testimony: God has given us eternal life, and this life is
found in his Son.”
Psalm 66:16 “Come and listen, all you who fear God, and I will tell you what he did
for me.”

Prayer
Welcome

Opening Remarks:
The Bible is filled with snippets of person’s lives. The Bible tells of their experiences,
character, victories, shortcomings, and so much more. These men and women were
not chosen because they were special but because they had a story to tell that
would be impactful throughout the ages, even for every Christian who reads the
Bible today.
For a judge to rule in most cases, they need the eyewitness account of someone
who saw the act committed. You see, judges need someone to testify about what
occurred. Turn to your neighbour and say Testify.

The question for today is, whose account would you believe? Would you believe
someone who experienced it for themselves or someone who heard from someone,
who heard from someone, who heard from someone?
As long as you witness God, you should have a testimony about what transpired.
Do you have a testimony an eyewitness account of what God has done for you? I
dare say without apology that every Christian should have a testimony.

If you don’t, you are a LIAR, and you do not know Jesus. Who woke you up this
morning? Who has kept you and your loved ones safe from harm seen and unseen?
Who has preserved your health?
Who gave you a job? Who took you through school?
Who found you a spouse?
Turn to your neighbour and say God is good and He has done something for me.
It is important to keep a testimony on your lips because your testimony can remind
someone that Jesus is real and He will bring victory to them just as He has brought
victory for you.

Testimonies
Have the church give testimonies in any way that comes to mind (song, testimony,
poetry). You could ask persons to prepare testimonies. The AY Leader should start
the testimonies by sharing their testimonies; this would encourage the church to
share their testimonies.

Special Music:
Main Feature: Church in discussion
Break up the church into small groups. Have each group present the best bible
story of victory over a situation and how God came through in a powerful way.
You could ask each group to present in either song, poetry, debate or presentation.
