There was a man in the book of Mark who was filled with demons. After a brief conversation with Jesus Christ this man became a new creature who was demon free.
I wanted to highlight what Christ told this man in chapter 5; verse 19.
"Go home to your people and report to them what great things the Lord has done for you."
When God does something great in our lives we should want to share it with others. And Jesus Christ informs us here that the very first people that should hear your testimony is the "home" people or "Your people". Those close to you should be the ones who knows all good things that God has done in your life.
We share it with our Sunday School class. We share it with our prayer partners but there is something special about your family hearing your testimony. You may think they don't care about what God is doing for you. As I read this scripture, no where are we told to ask their permission or if there is an interest to hear it. God wants to use YOU to reacher YOUR family. But you will never reach them for Christ if they never hear you bragging on your God.
Share your testimony to your family and let them know what God is doing in your life.
Prayer: "Lord, help us to not neglect those closest to us in sharing the good news."
