Christian, know Thyself
Romans 8:1; 14-15
There is therefore now no condemnation to those who are in Christ Jesus, who do not walk according to the flesh, but according to the Spirit.
For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, these are the sons of God. For you did not receive the spirit of bondage again to fear, but you received the Spirit of adoption by whom we cry out, ‘Abba, Father’.
Precious one, you are a child of God! a treasured son or daughter to the Almighty, Omnipotent, Omniscient Great God Jehovah. We have to walk confident and conscious of who we are in Christ, and take possession of all that we have been blessed with as Christians.
Beloved, it is possible that sometimes we go through life, defeated, tossed and turned by the waves of life because we are ignorant of who we are. Like teenagers going through an identity crisis, even though we have been saved, we are unsure of what that really means. As such, we go through cycles of uncertainty and confusion in which we are insecure, and confused, asking questions like who am i? why am I here? And where am I going? Beloved, you are not ordinary. Once you accept the offer of pardon through faith in Christ Jesus, and accept Him into your life, you have to go a step further to find out what this means for you. You are no longer the old man you used to be. You are daily conformed to the image of Christ, as you renew your mind and walk, led by the Spirit of God.
You are a Christian, bearing within you the Holy Spirit, who empowers you to walk victoriously in life, according to the will of God. You have peace with God, you have access to God, you are no longer condemned, and you have the power to walk victoriously, overcoming the challenges of life. The Resurrection power of Christ is available to you, to revive any dead situation in your life, you can pray to God at all times and receive His help. You have the blessing of God over you here on earth and you have the assurance and hope of meeting Him in the life hereafter. You have the power to speak His Word over your situations and circumstances, and you have access to have sweet communion and fellowship with God, where you can learn of Him, and develop the fruit of the Holy Spirit. You are a chosen vessel of God, to be used for His mighty exploits. You are a blessed child of the Most High, through which He blesses others by your gifts, your possessions and your life. You are a light shining in this dark world, anointed and sent forth to preach the Good news, sent to be like Christ in this world. You are precious to God and you must know who you are in Christ and walk in this confidence. You are not an accident; you are not a mistake. You were intentionally made for such a time as this. You are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, an holy nation, a peculiar people; that ye should shew forth the praises of him who hath called you out of darkness into his marvellous light. (1 Peter 2:9).
Dear Christian, know thyself, and walk in this confidence. God is with You and God is for you. And you are here to fulfill God’s divine mandate for your life. God’s plan for you is good. And it will bring you to a glorious end. Shalom.
Memory verse
Romans 5:1
Therefore, having been justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom also we have access by faith into this grace in which we stand, and rejoice in hope of the glory of God.
