This question is for every believer; each one of us needs to answer it by ourselves. It is not me, Nene, asking you; I have no such power; Christ himself is the one asking you. Your enthronement depends on your answer, so be careful with your answer. Your answers do not depend on the years of your new birth; no, not at all; remember the twelve disciples were with Jesus for three and a half years, but yet only Peter was able to answer correctly, what an irony! Don't be surprised that many believers don't really know who Christ is to them? You may live inside a church, sleeping on the altar, yet still don't know Jesus's true identity. Here is how it works: you must discover Christ's true identity yourself, and then Christ will reveal your own identity to you. Because, as it is now, you may not know who you really are in Christ until you know who Christ is. Don't assume you know him; you will be limiting yourself. Friends, please come with me and let's explore more.
Matthew 16:13 When Jesus came into the coasts of Caesarea Philippi, he asked his disciples, saying, Whom do men say that I the Son of man am? 14 And they said, Some say that thou art John the Baptist: some, Elias; and others, Jeremias, or one of the prophets. 15 He saith unto them, But whom say ye that I am? 16 And Simon Peter answered and said, Thou art the Christ, the Son of the living God. 17 And Jesus answered and said unto him, Blessed art thou, Simon Barjona: for flesh and blood hath not revealed it unto thee, but my Father which is in heaven. 18 And I say also unto thee, That thou art Peter, and upon this rock I will build my church; and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it. 19 And I will give unto thee the keys of the kingdom of heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt bind on earth shall be bound in heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven.
You cannot be elevated in this kingdom until you answer the question of Christ's true identity; if I may ask you, who do men say Jesus is? Who did your Pastor say Jesus is? And who is Jesus to you? That is, what is your personal revelation about Jesus? Your personal revelation of who Jesus is to you is what will qualify you for enthronement. You can't define Jesus on my own terms; you need a personal encounter to define him. There were twelve disciples, but only Peter was able to answer the question of Jesus' true identity. In return, Jesus told Peter who he was. No wonder he was the only one who followed him when he was arrested. Even though he denied Jesus, he repented immediately(Luke 22:54-62).
Luke 22:31 (And the Lord said, Simon, Simon, behold, Satan hath desired to have you, that he may sift you as wheat: 32 But I have prayed for thee, that thy faith fail not: and when thou art converted, strengthen thy brethren).
Jesus Christ foretold his denial, and he also said that when he repented, he should strengthen his brothers; that was why he named him the rock. Rock to be built upon. He has a solid foundation in Christ, and that is why Christ said this rock is ready for him to build upon. That revelation is beyond human understanding. Ask God to reveal his son to you; ask Jesus to reveal Himself to you, because your change of story lies in your personal encounter with Jesus; that is, your personal revelation of Jesus. It is to you according to the level of your understanding of who Christ is to you. He said, if you love him, you will obey his commandments; but you are still selecting which of the commandments to obey, and the main commandment is Love. He says go ye into the world and preach his gospel (Mark 16:15); that you should be his witness (Acts 1:8); because that is why he came; and that is the church that he wants to build on the rock. Every child of God is likened to a rock, and a rock is for Christ to build his church; the question is, are you ready to be built upon by Jesus? Do you know him enough to convince people to trust him? Tell me, how are you going to explain your love for Christ when you are face -to- face with him on the last day if you refuse to manifest your call as the rock by drawing multitudes to Jesus? Peter, the rock, preached the gospel, and 5,000 souls were converted at a spot (Acts 4:4).
Just like Peter, Satan will challenge your knowledge of Jesus by confronting you with a situation that will make you want to deny what you already know, but you will overcome in Jesus name.
Friends, to move forward from where you are now to your next level requires personal revelation of the person of Jesus, because the more you know, the more progress you make. Please ask him to give you more of himself, and your destiny with no limit will manifest, in Jesus' name.
Every journey begins with a step, and the first step in your relationship with Jesus is salvation. So, friends, take that bold step today by praying this salvation prayer below and begin your journey with Jesus. God bless you.
Lord Jesus, I repent of my sins and accept You as my Lord and Saviour. I believe you died for me so that I could become 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 I am born again. And I am a child of God. Amen!
