"Let the redeemed of the Lord say so" is a biblical directive that encourages those who have experienced God’s redemption to speak openly and gratefully about it. This practice not only honors God and gives Him the glory but also serves to edify, encourage, and evangelize within and beyond the community of faith.

[00:00:07] Let us pray, bread together on our knees
[00:00:14] When I fall on my knees with my face to the rising sun
[00:00:21] Oh Lord, never see all the knees

[00:00:58] Romans 10 verse 9
[00:01:01] Brothers and sisters, welcome to Words of Inspiration
[00:01:07] From wherever you are and whenever you're listening
[00:01:10] We don't take it lightly that you spend this time with us
[00:01:14] And look forward to sharing the word of God with you
[00:01:19] Today, we are going to have a discussion on the topic of
[00:01:25] Let the Redeemed of the Lord Say So
[00:01:29] Our scriptural inspiration comes from Psalm 107 verses 2-8
[00:01:39] Which reads
[00:01:48] They wandered in a wilderness in a solitary way
[00:01:51] They found no city to dwell in
[00:01:53] Hungry and thirsty, their souls fainted in them
[00:01:57] Then they cried unto the Lord in their trouble
[00:02:00] And He delivered them out of their distresses
[00:02:04] And He led them forth by the right way
[00:02:07] That they might go to a place where they could not
[00:02:12] O, that men would praise the Lord for His goodness
[00:02:16] And for His wonderful works to the children of men
[00:02:20] Romans 1 verse 16 reads
[00:02:23] For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ
[00:02:27] For it is the power of God unto salvation
[00:02:30] To everyone who is in the world
[00:02:33] And is in the world
[00:02:36] And is in the world
[00:02:39] And is in the world
[00:02:43] And is in the world
[00:02:49] And the world
[00:02:55] And the world
[00:03:02] And you
[00:03:05] Do we negate the power we were given by failing to acknowledge his existence?
[00:03:13] In Luke 9, verse 26, Jesus says, For whoever is ashamed of me and of my words, of him will
[00:03:22] the Son of man be ashamed when he comes in his glory and the glory of the Father and
[00:03:29] of the holy angels.
[00:03:31] What happens when Jesus treats you like you treat him?
[00:03:36] What if your prayers were only answered when it was convenient for God?
[00:03:43] When the redeemed say so, they contribute to the strengthening of their community's faith.
[00:03:51] Testimonies can play a powerful role in building a sense of unity and shared faith
[00:03:55] among believers.
[00:03:58] Hearing about how God has worked in the lives of others can bolster the faith of those who
[00:04:03] hear it, reminding them that God's active presence and ability to intervene in their own lives.
[00:04:11] This phrase also serves as an invitation to express gratitude.
[00:04:18] By stating what God has done for you, the redeemed are engaging in an act of thankfulness.
[00:04:25] This expression of gratitude is both a personal acknowledgement of God's goodness in one's
[00:04:30] own life and a public declaration that will uplift and build the faith of others.
[00:04:39] You might not be an evangelist, but if the Lord has been good to you, you should
[00:04:45] be willing to let everyone know.
[00:04:48] In the same manner when you are going through a trial, your faith in God should shine
[00:04:55] and when people ask you how you are holding it all together, tell them about the goodness
[00:05:02] of God.
[00:05:04] Brothers and sisters, let the redeemed of the Lord say so.
[00:05:08] It is a biblical directive that encourages those who have experienced God's redemption
[00:05:15] to speak openly and gratefully about it.
[00:05:18] This practice not only honors God and gives him glory, but also serves to edify, encourage
[00:05:26] and evangelize within and beyond the community of faith.
[00:05:32] Brothers and sisters, I thank you for spending this time with me on today and I look forward
[00:05:37] to our time together on tomorrow.
[00:05:40] Until then, God bless.
