AUGUST, MY MONTH OF UNCOMMON TESTIMONIES

By Rev. Samuel Arimoro

INTRODUCTION:
Every month carries a divine agenda, and August is prophetically ordained to be a month of uncommon testimonies. These are the kinds of testimonies that are rare, remarkable, and supernatural—testimonies that defy logic and human explanation. When God decides to move beyond the ordinary, He produces results that cause people to say, “The Lord has done great things for them.” (Psalm 126:2). Uncommon testimonies are not fabricated stories; they are living proofs of divine intervention that turn mockery into amazement and trials into triumphs.

God delights in giving His people testimonies that provoke awe and praise. Throughout Scripture, we see God turning impossibilities into possibilities, rewriting the destinies of men and women in moments that altered history. He turns tears into laughter, ashes into beauty, and barren seasons into fruitful harvests. These are not just isolated Bible stories—they are patterns of what God desires to replicate in the lives of His children today. This month, God will do for you what will sound like a dream to others.

Testimonies are not merely outcomes of answered prayers; they are divine strategies for overcoming challenges and advancing the Kingdom. Revelation 12:11 tells us that “they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb and by the word of their testimony.” Your testimony is a spiritual weapon. It is a declaration of God’s power and faithfulness. As you walk in alignment with God this August, expect Him to do the unusual and manifest His glory in your life like never before. This is your season of uncommon testimonies!

1. GOD SPECIALISES IN DOING THE UNCOMMON

a) God is not limited by human possibilities (Luke 1:37)
The impossibilities of man are opportunities for God to display His power.

b) He delights in surprising His people (Job 5:9)
He does great and unsearchable things, marvellous things without number.

c) He works beyond patterns and formulas (Isaiah 55:8-9)
His methods often surpass human reasoning and structures.

d) Testimonies show God’s glory and power (John 11:40)
Jesus said, “Did I not tell you that if you believe, you will see the glory of God?”

Biblical Example: The Virgin Birth of Jesus (Luke 1:26-38)
A testimony that stunned humanity and displayed the sovereignty of God.

2. UNCOMMON TESTIMONIES FOLLOW UNCOMMON FAITH

a) God responds to faith that stretches limits (Mark 5:34)
Jesus told the woman, “Daughter, your faith has made you whole.”

b) Faith sees the invisible and expects the impossible (Hebrews 11:1)
Faith is the bridge between the promise and the manifestation.

c) God honours those who trust Him absolutely (Romans 4:20-21)
Abraham was fully persuaded that what God had promised, He was able to perform.

d) Faith connects us to divine power (Mark 9:23)
“If you can believe, all things are possible to him who believes.”

Biblical Example: Centurion’s Faith for His Servant (Matthew 8:5-13)
He believed that a word from Jesus was enough—and his faith was rewarded.

3. YOUR SEASON OF TEARS WILL PRODUCE A HARVEST OF TESTIMONIES

a) God sees your pain and hears your cry (Exodus 3:7)
He said, “I have seen the affliction of my people and heard their cry.”

b) Every delay has a divine purpose (Habakkuk 2:3)
The vision is for an appointed time; wait for it, it will surely come.

c) God is the Restorer of lost years (Joel 2:25-26)
He promises to restore the wasted years and bring satisfaction and praise.

d) Your night season is turning to joy (Psalm 30:5)
Though weeping may endure for a night, joy comes in the morning.

Biblical Example: Hannah’s Testimony After Barrenness (1 Samuel 1:9-20)
Her years of weeping ended with a testimony that shook her nation.

4. UNCOMMON TESTIMONIES REQUIRE OBEDIENCE AND POSITIONING

a) Obedience is key to divine manifestations (Deuteronomy 28:1-2)
If you fully obey the Lord, He will set you on high and release blessings.

b) Partial obedience hinders full testimonies (1 Samuel 15:22)
God desires full obedience, not selective compliance.

c) You must be in the right place at the right time (Ruth 2:3)
Ruth’s “chance” encounter was orchestrated by God for her breakthrough.

d) Service and humility attract divine visitation (James 4:6)
God gives grace to the humble and elevates the lowly.

Biblical Example: The Servants at Cana (John 2:1-11)
Their obedience led to the miracle of water turning into wine.

5. GOD USES YOUR TESTIMONY TO DRAW OTHERS TO HIMSELF

a) Your testimony will inspire faith in others (Psalm 40:3)
Many shall see and fear and trust in the Lord.

b) Testimonies silence the enemy (Revelation 12:11)
They are spiritual evidence that God is still at work.

c) God uses your story to make a statement of His glory (Isaiah 43:21)
You were formed to show forth His praise.

d) Sharing your testimony brings honour to God (Psalm 105:1-2)
Speak of all His wondrous works with boldness.

Biblical Example: The Man Delivered from Legion (Mark 5:18-20)
His life became a message that turned an entire region to Jesus.
