THE WORD OF OUR TESTIMONY

And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb, and by the word of their testimony;
Revelations 12:11a

The above text is a popular one that is shared normally during testimony time. The usual interpretation that has been ascribed to it is that as we share testimonies, then we overcome the devil. Even though this concept is partially right, let's look at the contextual meaning of the verse.
Man was assigned to a penalty of spiritual death(hell) for disobeying God in Eden. Satan therefore took undue advantage of man's fallen state to put him in bondage using death as his power/weapon (Hebrews 2:14b). After Jesus died and shed His blood for man, man dhhhďd&ddd\became legally free from the penalty of death. In other words, Jesus took man's penalty of death upon himself so that man will not have to die again.
This means anyone who believes and accepts the sacrifice of Jesus is legally free from every single dominion of the devil. However, the devil even though he has no legal right over the saved man, still tries to scare him into the bondage of fear by bringing accusations against him. But as long as the believer testifies(gives a testimony) that Jesus' blood sets him free, he overcomes the enemy and his schemes. This is the surest way of defeating the devil. When he comes to you with accusations of sins you may have committed, just keep on testifying of the work of the blood.

LIFE APPLICATION
Never cease giving the testimony that the blood has restored you and made you whole.

PRAYER
Thank you Father for the precious gift of the blood and the power behind testifying to it.
