Bold Witness
Focus Verse: Acts 4:31 “After they prayed, the place where they were meeting was shaken. And they were all filled with the Holy Spirit and spoke the word of God boldly.”
Declaration: The Spirit gives me boldness; I speak God’s Word fearlessly and shine His light today.
Boldness is the result of the Holy Spirit’s filling.
In the presence of the Holy Spirit, the first thing we experience is courage or boldness.
There was a person who was afraid to even pray during family prayer. He would run out at any opportunity to pray aloud. During a prayer meeting once, the Holy Spirit strongly urged him to stand up and speak. He quietly went to the leader and shared this prompting from God. They gave him the microphone and he spoke boldly for over 10 minutes and everyone was stunned. The Holy Spirit enables us to boldly share the Word of God. If you are someone who is afraid or shy to share your testimony among friends and family, ask God for boldness.
This was what happened on the Day of Pentecost when the disciples were filled with The Spirit and boldness.
In the Book of Acts chapters 2,3 we see how the disciples step out in boldness from the Holy Spirit to preach the Word of God across lands !
2 Timothy 1:7 “For the Spirit God gave us does not make us timid, but gives us power, love and self-discipline.”
Romans 8:15 “The Spirit you received does not make you slaves, so that you live in fear again; rather, the Spirit you received brought about your adoption to sonship. And by him we cry, “Abba, Father.””
Bold witnesses speak truth despite opposition
The early church faced many threats, persecution, and opposition. They were attacked, sent to prison, and even killed. But they did not lose their boldness.
Acts 4:29 “Now, Lord, consider their threats and enable your servants to speak your word with great boldness.”
They didn’t pray for the persecution to go away, instead they prayed for more strength to preach!
Acts 5:20 ““Go, stand in the temple courts,” he said, “and tell the people all about this new life.””
Ezekiel 2:7 “You must speak my words to them, whether they listen or fail to listen, for they are rebellious.”
Sharing the Word of God is a command from God.
Boldness is obedience when silence would be easier.
A lighthouse gives out its light every day regardless of the weather or the storm. Like this, God calls us to shine His light always as the ‘light of the world’ regardless of trials or persecution.
Bold witnesses reflect Christ through their life.
Witnessing is more than speaking, it is reflected through your character and compassion. You can be a witness only when you have compassion for people and for their salvation.
Matthew 5:16 “In the same way, let your light shine before others, that they may see your good deeds and glorify your Father in heaven.”
Philippians 2:15 “so that you may become blameless and pure, “children of God without fault in a warped and crooked generation.” Then you will shine among them like stars in the sky”
God promised Abraham that his children will be like the stars in the sky- the main promise was about the number of children, but it also means that we need to shine like the stars in the sky.
Bold witnesses trust God with their results.
Our responsibility is faithfulness. God is responsible for the harvest. Our harvest is not in our hands.
1 Corinthians 3:6 “I planted the seed, Apollos watered it, but God has been making it grow.”
In this passage, the church in Corinth was getting split across many leaders and division began springing up. Here Paul says that he came and planted the church, Apollos watered it, but at the end of the day, God grew them. All we need to do is be faithful and obey God in doing our part, the rest will be done by God.
Isaiah 55:11 “so is my word that goes out from my mouth: It will not return to me empty, but will accomplish what I desire and achieve the purpose for which I sent it.”
Mark 4:26-27 “He also said, “This is what the kingdom of God is like. A man scatters seed on the ground. Night and day, whether he sleeps or gets up, the seed sprouts and grows, though he does not know how.”
We need to rely and depend on God for our harvest. All we need to do is our part and be faithful, and surrender the rest fully to God.
