““Return to your home and your family, and tell them all the wonderful things God has done for you.” So the man went away and preached to everyone who would listen about the amazing miracle Jesus had worked in his life.”
Luke 8:39 TPT
Observation:
Jesus had just cast a legion of demons from this man and the entire area was amazed. He asked Jesus if he could follow Christ wherever He went and Jesus replied to him that he must return home and tell them everything God had done for him. Then it says, “so he went away and preached to everyone who would listen”.
Application:
WHen God does something wonderful in our lives, He wants us to go back where we came from and tell everyone who will listen about His goodness and what He has done for us. The power of this man’s testimony in his local area was more important than following Christ around. Jesus wanted the man to go and tell his story. We need to be telling the story of what Christ has done for us.
Prayer:
Lord, let me be a teller of Your story. Help me to be a bold witness for You. Empower me to live a life of witness in my local community. Help me to never be ashamed of the Gospel, but to boldly proclaim Your goodness in my generation.
Yours,
Jeff
