Like begets like; a goat will produce another goat like itself; a child of God is god and expects to produce fruit after his kind. If you don't know your true identity, then what kind of fruit are you going to be bearing? Corruption entered the world because of a lack of knowledge. Genesis 3:5 (For God doth know that in the day ye eat thereof, then your eyes shall be opened, and ye shall be as gods, knowing good and evil). The same Satan that deceived Adam and Eve was unable to deceive Jesus (Luke 4:1-13); the difference between the two was knowledge and self-awareness. If Adam had a deep understanding of his identity, he would not have fallen into the trap of the devil because he was already created in the image of God; he was already like God because of his lack of knowledge of who he was, Satan was able to confuse him. If you don't know who you are, the devil will confuse you; he will give you a name that is not yours. Knowing who you are means understanding your purpose and God's plan for you.
Genesis 1:26 And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth.
Psalm 82:5 They know not, neither will they understand; they walk on in darkness: all the foundations of the earth are out of course. 6 I have said, Ye are gods; and all of you are children of the most High. 7 But ye shall die like men, and fall like one of the princes.
John 8:44 Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father of it. 45 And because I tell you the truth, ye believe me not. 46 Which of you convinceth me of sin? And if I say the truth, why do ye not believe me? 47 He that is of God heareth God's words: ye therefore hear them not, because ye are not of God.
Your confidence in God is what will make the confidence of your enemies impotent. Everyone trusts in something, even though some may not be conscious of it. If you don't trust God enough to fight your battle for you, there is nothing he can do about it; in the end, it would still be you versus the other side. You need to wear your confidence with pride; that is, making it obvious for the opposition to see where your confidence is coming from. Your confidence, your boldness, comes from knowing your root and what your root carries. Before your enemies can defeat you, they will go after your roots to destroy your confidence. If they cannot tamper with your confidence, they won't be able to take anything from you. Your root is your identity; it defines who you are and the kind of results you are expected to generate. Your confidence comes from knowing your root; the deeper your root, the more confidence you have. The Jews sought to know by which authority Jesus Christ operates, where his confidence comes from. (Matthew 21:23) His authority comes from knowing his root and who he was; those questions were meant to cast doubt in his confidence, but he did not move because he was sure of his rock. Friends, today, if your enemies challenged your authority, what would be your response? Whether you like it or not, your confidence is being challenged regularly. Your response will determine where you are right now and where you will be tomorrow.
Romans 15:12 (And again, Esaias saith, There shall be a root of Jesse, and he that shall rise to reign over the Gentiles; in him shall the Gentiles trust).
Revelation 22:16 (I Jesus have sent mine angel to testify unto you these things in the churches. I am the root and the offspring of David, and the bright and morning star).
The question is, do you know your roots? Are you producing after your root? Has your seed been corrupted? The good news is, redemption has made an avenue for you to choose who your father is; whether the Almighty God or Satan. The choice is yours. I pray for you right now, you will not be cast into the fire, in Jesus' name.
Luke 3:9 And now also the axe is laid unto the root of the trees: every tree therefore which bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn down, and cast into the fire.
Friends, to avoid being cast into the fire, you need to SAY YES TO JESUS if you have not said yes to him. Please do it quickly by praying this salvation prayer below
Lord Jesus, I repent of my sins and accept You as my Lord and Saviour. I believe you died for me to make me a new man/woman. Forgive me all my sins, wash me with your blood, and give me a new heart. Thank you, Lord, for saving my soul. Now I believe that I am born again. And I am a child of God. Amen!
NENE ISAH,
