Don't let your your past destroy testimony

Many of you here have been through unpleasant circumstances in the past, those unpleasant circumstances tend to influence your future or your destiny. I want to tell you today that God does not consult your past to determine your future. It doesn’t matter how bad your past is, for as long as you are living a righteous life and doing the will of God, He will not remember your past. When you are at the right destiny, do not let you past shake you.


Some People who know your past, like your friends, your colleagues, and family, may try to bring up your past or to use it against it, in order to hinder your progress or stop you from getting to your destiny, but when you stand firmly on the Word of God and hold on to your faith, nothing will take you down.


In Psalm 119: 22-24 , David prays to God and says “Remove from me reproach and contempt, For I have kept Your testimonies”, the testimonies in this Scripture refers to the Word of God. In verse 23, he continues to say “Princes also sit and speak against me, But Your servant meditates on Your statutes. Your testimonies also are my delight And my counsellors”.


David knew that his past was unpleasant, this is why he prayed that God may remove the shame that was caused by that unpleasant past. But as God is busy working on David, cleansing him from his past so that he can approach his destiny in Holiness and Righteousness, people keep speaking against him, to discourage him and to cause him to lose focus.


Instead of being discouraged, David delights in the Word of God. What is it that you are facing today? What is it that you are going through? What is it that they are saying about you? I want to tell you child of God, delight in the Word of God, and God will see you through. When your past wants to stop you from reaching your destiny, don’t lose courage, but pray the prayer of David and delight in the Word of God.


It doesn’t matter how much you have sinned in the past, but when you confess your sins to God, and ask for His forgiveness, He will cleanse you of all your reproach and shame, and you will be renewed. When your past is wiped away and you are renewed, stand on the Word of God and you will never be shaken. Whenever David prayed, he prayed according to The Word of God, he stood on the Word of God and he confessed the Word of God, this is why his past could not stop him from testifying.


In whatever situation that you find yourself, when you stand on the Word of God, you will overcome. When you are sick, declare the Word of healing upon your body, and you will be healed. Whether you are in setback, limitations or poverty, when you stand boldly on the Word and declare your own blessing according to the Word, you will see the manifestation of God’s power.


I want to tell you children of God that whenever you come across a challenge, don’t look where the challenge comes from or start to ask but why me, but rather look for solution in the Word of God. The Word of God is a solution for all fundamental issues of life. Whatever situation you find yourself in, don’t lose focus, but keep your eyes on the Word of God.


Some of you here are being haunted by your past decisions, because when you made the decisions you did not consult God. Whatever decision you make, you need to seek God’s opinion and wait for God’s time, because even the right decision at the wrong time can bring you disappointment. Yes you will be disappointed because instead of leaving the matter to God, you took the matter into your own hands and you ended up being disappointed.


As Christians, we should depend on God for everything that we do, when we come across difficulties, we must not approach those difficult issues on our own but we should leave them for God. If you know that you have been doing things your way and have not consulted God, go back to God, repent, and ask Him to take away the reproach that your wrong decisions have brought.


None of us is perfect, this is why the Bible says “all of us have sinned and fall short of the Glory of God” (Romans 3:23).I want to tell you today, even if you have sinned against God, do not run away from Him, but rather run towards Him. He will restore you and bring you back on track. Do not allow your past sins to fight your testimony.


You past sins will always come to haunt you, even if you have repented and are now walking God’s perfect will. Your past will haunt you in order to cause you to lose focus. But if you meditate on the Word of God and stand on the promises of God, you will overcome your past. Do not let your past destroy your testimony.


Some of you are suffering because of your past. Even if it is time for you to move forward, your past draws you back. I want to tell you child of God, do not let it draw you back from God. You past has no share in your future, your past has no role in your destiny. Fight your past with the Word of God. We are all going to pray, and we are going to ask God to erase our past, so that we can all testify.


Your past does not want you to enjoy God’s blessing, your past does not want you to live according to God’s will. We must not allow our past to destroy our testimonies. We resist our past through the Word of God. David says in the same Psalm 119:26, “Teach me your statutes”. When you know the statutes of God, I mean the Word of God, you will overcome your past.


To God be the Glory.
