“Alive to Be a Witness of God”

Happy Monday and God’s blessings,

“Alive to Be a Witness of God” 

“I shall not die, but live, and declare the works of the Lord.” (Psalm 118:17)

This verse is our declaration as we enter Thanksgiving week. It is more than survival; it is a confession that our lives have purpose. You are alive today because God is not finished with you. Your story is still being written, your assignment is still active, and your testimony is still unfolding.

Look back over this year. There were moments that could have broken you, seasons that drained your strength, situations that seemed impossible. Yet here you are—kept by grace, carried by mercy, and preserved by the hand of God. That alone is a reason to give thanks. You are not where you used to be. God has lifted you, taught you, refined you, and brought you further than you imagined.

This week, refuse to treat God’s goodness as a quiet secret. Your testimony is a weapon and a light. When you speak of what God has done, you strengthen the weary, encourage the discouraged, and point hearts back to Him. Thank Him openly for the doors He opened, the battles He fought, the peace He gave in the storm, the healing He released, and the provision He sent at just the right time.

And remember: what you have seen is only the beginning. God’s goodness did not end last week or last year. More favor, more breakthroughs, more answered prayers, and more miracles are ahead. So declare it in faith: “My story is not over and I will live to declare the works of my God!”

You are not a victim: You are a victor. Fix your eves on Jesus’ finished work on the cross, and let your heart sing, “From victory unto victory...till ev’ry foe is vanquished, and Christ is LORD indeed.” 

Let this be your song and ongoing testimony of your life.

“I will live to tell of God’s goodness. My life is a testimony of His mercy, His protection, and His unfailing love. I am a witness of God’s goodness in the land of the living.”

Let your Thanksgiving week be filled with joy, reflection, bold gratitude, and a fresh awareness that God’s goodness is alive and active in your life.

You are Blessed! You are a Winner! Enjoy this Thanksgiving week!
