YOU ARE MORE THAN WHAT YOU THINK YOU ARE

            WHO AM I? This is a question majority of us humans run away from answering, but have you noticed that as much as you run from it is always staring you directly in the face? Do you really know who you are or do people tell you who you are. For certain if you don’t know people will help you define your existence. Now don’t get me wrong here, I’m not talking about your name or your resume or even your surname, I’m talking about what stuff are you made of or simply put your person and how do you see yourself. In Numbers 13:31-33, the people of Israel saw themselves as grasshoppers to the descendants of Anak and the painful part was that they didn’t only think it but said with their mouth’s, “we looked the same in their eyes”. What a way to degrade the army of the Lord.

            If you don’t know who you are in Christ Jesus, this is the time to ask him that simple question. But first by way of reminder if you have ever thought less of yourself or you’ve seen yourself as worthless just as in the case of Gideon in Judges 6:15, or just maybe everyone you’ve relied on has failed you or perhaps you have been abused and molested or lived a rough and terrible life, God still says “YOU ARE THE APPLE OF MY EYES, YOU ARE INSCRIBED ON THE PALM OF MY HANDS, BEFORE YOU WERE BORN I KNEW YOU, YOU HAVE A FUTURE AND A HOPE, YOU ARE THE LIGHT OF THE WORLD AND A CITY SET UPON A HILL THAT CANNOT BE HIDDEN...God has so much in store for you and loves you dearly with everything even more than you can imagine, let no one tell you differently. Dear friends, there is so much on the inside of you that you have not yet figured out. I’m sure you are always thinking is this where it all ends, is this what life is all about, all the hustle and struggling just for survival is that why I’ve been dumped on this earth? A capital NO is your answer. God is not a wicked God, there’s more and trust me serving God pays a great deal.

            I urge you today get angry, go to God and ask him “Lord who am I” and he would answer you. Also in your spare time please read Judges 6, 7, 8, it will show you how a man (Gideon) who thought he came from the weakest clan in Manasseh and the least of his family was called by God as a mighty warrior and also saved the people of Israel from the hands of the Midianites.

“AND WHAT EVER GOD HAS SAID YOU ARE, THAT’S WHO YOU ARE. AND I LEAVE YOU WITH THIS, HE SAID THAT HE WOULD NEVER LEAVE YOU NOR FORSAKE YOU (DEUTERONOMY 31:6) KEEP HOLDING ON”.
