It is one of the deadliest weapons of war inthe mouth of the believer. The devil is easily defeated by the words of ourtestimonies. The Scripture says, “And I heard a loud voice saying in heaven, Nowis come salvation, and strength, and the Kingdom of our God, and the power of hisChrist: for the accuser of our brethren is cast down, which accused them beforeour God day and night. And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb, and by theword of their testimony; and they loved not their lives unto the death.” –Revelation 12:10,11.Most of the Psalms of David tell of the goodness of the Lord. David was oneman who knew the secret of praise. Praising God for His wonderful works formedpart of David’s lifestyle. Therefore he admonished us thus –Praise ye the LORD forit is good to sing praises unto our God; for it is pleasant; and praise iscomely.” – Psalm 147:1. By praises in this context, David meanttestimonies of God’s goodness. The rest of the verses outline some of thewonderful works of God that call for such praises. David learnt the secret ofsuccessful living and it could be seen in his praises.The testimony of your salvation is a powerful took that draws more of suchmiracles closer to you day by day.
