You Be Witness for Jesus Christ – No Hide Your Mouth
My brother, my sister, make we talk. This matter wey I wan drop so no be joke at all. E concern you, e concern me, and e concern everybody wey call imself Christian. You see, once you don give your life to Christ, you no fit dey hide again. You be witness! Yes, you wey dey read this now – you be witness of Jesus Christ.
Bible talk am clearly. Jesus say, "If you deny me before men, I go deny you before my Father in heaven." (Matthew 10:33). E no mince word. This one loud! You no fit dey shy or dey hide say you be child of God because you dey fear wetin people go talk or think. My padi, Jesus no hide die for you o! E no hide carry cross. E no hide when dem flog am. E no hide when dem nail am. So why you go dey hide to talk say you belong to am?
To be a witness for Christ mean say you go open mouth talk about Jesus. Talk wetin you know. Talk wetin you don see. Talk how Jesus change your life. You no need to be pastor or prophet before you fit witness. You just need to be person wey Jesus don save.
You fit dey ask: "Wetin be witnessing sef?" My brother, e simple. To witness for Christ mean say you go carry this gospel matter put for your mouth. You go talk am for your street, for market, for boat, for school, for office, anywhere wey you dey. Just like Jesus tell him disciples before he go: "You go be my witnesses in Jerusalem, in all Judea, in Samaria, and to the ends of the earth." (Acts 1:8)
E no say na only inside church or crusade ground. Na everywhere.
See wetin Jesus do: before he comot go heaven, he gather him people – the disciples – tell dem say, "Una go bear witness of wetin una see and hear. I don teach una, I don walk with una, I don show una miracles, so una go tell the world."
Jesus know say the world wicked. He know say e get people wey no go like the truth. Na why he say, "I dey send una like sheep inside wolves." (Matthew 10:16). So you wey dey carry Bible, you wey dey pray, you wey dey call Jesus name – no be soft work you dey do. But still, Jesus don prepare us. He say make we wait for the power of the Holy Spirit.
You see that power? Na that Holy Spirit go give you boldness. E go give you utterance. E go help you talk even when your body dey shake. E go give you wisdom to know when to talk and how to talk. So if you say you no sabi, Holy Spirit go teach you. If you say you dey fear, Holy Spirit go strengthen you. You no get excuse.
Let me ask you now: who you dey witness for? Jesus or the devil?
Because for this life, everybody dey witness for something. Some dey witness for fashion. Some dey witness for alcohol. Some dey witness for cult. But we wey dey follow Christ, we must witness for Jesus. No sit down dey form Christian when your mouth dey sealed. No dey shout “I love you, Jesus” for church, but when dem talk about Jesus outside, you begin pretend say you no hear.
Jesus dey see all. That day of judgment go come. No be threat o, na truth. That same Jesus wey you dey shy of today, na the same Jesus wey go judge you tomorrow. That same Jesus wey you dey downgrade, call "ordinary man," na the same one wey go sit for throne judge every man. Na why I say make we reason this thing well.
No be only pastor go do this work. You wey dey read this now – you be disciple. Bible say make we go into all the world preach the gospel and make disciples. No be only carry mic. Sometimes, na your life go preach. Sometimes, na your character go witness. But every time, your mouth suppose still dey open for Jesus.
You no go say you no hear this word o! Because today, I don tell you. I don drop the matter for your table. You go choose who you go serve. You go choose who you go represent. If na Jesus, carry am with your full chest. Stand for am with boldness. E no go leave you. E go reward you.
Make I yarn you this one again: No dey form say you be believer when your heart no dey inside. Some people dey shout, “I love God,” but inside them, e no pure. Some go say, “I dey serve God,” but their heart still dey far from am. Make your confession match your heart. Because God dey see beyond your talk – e dey check your heart.
Make I round up this matter.
As Christians wey dey Bayelsa, we dey waka inside world wey no get pity. E get as things be for our side. People dey mock Christians. People dey press your faith. People go call you mumu for standing right. But no shake. This journey no be for weak mind. Bible talk am – “The kingdom of God suffereth violence, and the violent taketh it by force.” (Matthew 11:12)
So whether you dey sell fish for Swali Market, or you dey drive boat for Nembe creek, or you dey work for oil company for Yenagoa – wherever you dey, na there be your mission field. Witness for Jesus boldly. Use your life preach the gospel. Use your words share the truth. Use your story lift person up.
Remember say heaven dey watch. And the reward of those wey witness for Christ no go small. No let devil press your voice down. No let shame close your mouth. You get one job: to make Jesus proud.
