The knowledge and understanding of who you are in Christ is very important as a child of God. Knowing who you are in this kingdom is the key to access your inheritance in christ. The agenda of darkness is to hide yourself from you (2 Corinthians 3:14-18 and 2 Corinthians 4:4); as we all know that it is to you according to your level of your understanding and no one can manifest what he or she does not understand. Matthew 13:23 (But he that received seed into the good ground is he that heareth the word, and understandeth it; which also beareth fruit, and bringeth forth, some an hundredfold, some sixty, some thirty). The word of God is a spiritual mirror that reveal to us our true identity; it paints our pictures and reveal them to us as a believer; so if you really want to know how you look like and what you should be, then you have to lay hold on the perfect law of liberty and look into it (James 1:23-25). God knows this very well and he told Joshua in the book of Joshua 1:8( This book of the law shall not depart out of thy mouth; but thou shalt meditate therein day and night, that thou mayest observe to do according to all that is written therein: for then thou shalt make thy way prosperous, and then thou shalt have good success). The moment you allow it to depart from you, you will begin to lose your identity little by little until you lose everything, but that will not be you, in Jesus name. The irony of life is that many believers do not really know who they are; but whether you like it or not, people, situations, the devil and his agent will continue to ask you everyday the question of your true identity. That sickness is asking you the same question, unemployment is asking you the same question, lack and want is asking you the same question; what is your answer to them because that will determine your victory. I developed this habit which I picked from my mentor of introducing myself when praying. The reason is because prayer is a warfare, the opposition needs to know you and the ground in which you are standing. That is, on which authority are you standing to command them. The Jews asked Jesus the same question; Matthew 21:23 (And when he was come into the temple, the chief priests and the elders of the people came unto him as he was teaching, and said, By what authority doest thou these things? and who gave thee this authority)? That affliction you are praying against that refuses to go is challenging your authority as a believer. You need to tell the disease that by the stripe of Christ you are healed. Goliath introduces himself to David and David also introduces himself to Goliath and suddenly the battle changes hands. The Israelite Armies and King Saul forgot their identity because they were not meditating on the commandant as God instructed Joshua. They allow the perfect book of liberty to depart from them and they enter into bondage and become prey to their enemies including Goliath. Thank God for a young man like David who still knows and has a good relationship with God. He introduced His God to Goliath as His identity; He said to Goliath that God has trained his arm to slay Lions and Bears and he is not different from any of those animals. David killed Goliath like a small bird because to David he was smaller than Lion and Bear and there was no need for too much fight (1 Samuel 17:42-58). Friends, what kind of situation are you facing? How do you view it? Who is challenging your redemption? What is your answer to them? Are you going to be like David or King Saul and his armies? The answer will determine your victory in this battle. 1 John 5:3 (For this is the love of God, that we keep his commandments: and his commandments are not grievous. 4 For whatsoever is born of God overcometh the world: and this is the victory that overcometh the world, even our faith. 5 Who is he that overcometh the world, but he that believeth that Jesus is the Son of God)? The word of God says you are an overcomer because you are born of God and he also said that for this to manifest in your life you need to love God by keeping His commandment and that His commandment is not to punish you but rather it is meant to profit you. Your authority as a believer is in the word of God and Jesus Christ is the word of God; so, our authority is Christ our rock. You need to let the devils know that you are standing on the solid rock. Friends, enough is enough of the harassment of the devil, it is time to disgrace your Goliath in order of David . It is only God that can direct your stone towards the right target and turn it into a weapon of destruction. He is the only one that can give you the confidence you need by revealing yourself to you; and He wants to enter into a relationship with you. What are you still waiting for, run to Him by praying this salvation prayer below and be blessed, in Jesus name
Lord Jesus, I come to you today, I am a sinner, and I cannot help myself, forgive me my sins, and cleanse me with your precious blood. Deliver me from sin and Satan to serve the living God. Lord Jesus, I accept you as my Lord and saviour. Now I know I am Born Again, Amen.
NENE ISAH,
