THURSDAY - August 20

Read. Acts 19:8-12

8 Paul went to the synagogue and spoke confidently for the next three months. He interacted with those present and offered convincing arguments concerning the nature of God’s kingdom.9 Some people had closed their minds, though. They refused to believe and publicly slandered the Way. As a result, Paul left them, took the disciples with him, and continued his daily interactions in Tyrannus’ lecture hall. 10 This went on for two years, so that everyone living in the province of Asia—both Jews and Greeks—heard the Lord’s word.

11 God was doing unusual miracles through Paul. 12 Even the small towels and aprons that had touched his skin were taken to the sick, and their diseases were cured and the evil spirits left them.
Reflect. Paul continues to witness to people in Ephesus about Jesus; in fact, Paul continues this work for around two years. 

• The power of testimony is real, and the most important testimony is the testimony that you can give. Imagine that you are put in the position of Paul. Take a moment to write what you would share with others. Tell of how God has touched and changed your life; then share how God can do a similar work in them. 

Pray. Give thanks for God for the testimony that you are able to give. Perhaps, ask God to reveal a moment where you can share it with someone else.
