Do You Know Who You Are?

in #steemchurch6 years ago (edited)

Life is not just about existing or living but knowing who you are. Do you know that you are a representative of God and you carry an authority unimaginable? God has given you dominion over the earth He created and everthing in it, whatever we allow is what will be allowed in heaven and whatever we dissallow is what will be disallowed in heaven.

Verily I say unto you, whatsoever you shall bind on earth shall be bound in heaven: and whatsoever you shall loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven. Mathew 18:18

On earth is man who controls its affairs and effect changes. God backs us when we issue our authority concerning anything on earth.

You may just be an ordinary person in the eyes of people but you've got something inside of you which is greater than that which outside.

You are of God, little children, and have overcome them: because greater is he that is in you, than he that is in the world. 1 John 4:4

Of all the creations of God, it was man that God made in his own image and likeness. We were chosen for special assignment on earth. The power of God which is the Holy Spirit lives in us and makes us so unique and different from any other man.

The power of God always make us so special, it gives an upper hand over any situation and over any enemy.

Satan knows this and will make sure you don't know your real identity, keep you in the dark and will capitalise on anyhing that is rightfully yours. We have been given power to control the affairs of our world.

Solomon gave account of two people who were in an erronous situation which he described as evil:

There is an evil which I have seen under the sun, as an error which proceedeth from the ruler: Folly is set in great dignity, and the rich sit in low place. I have seen servants upon horses, and princes walking as servants upon the earth. Ecclesiastics 10:5-7

He said i have seen this issue which is an evil and an error that for the fool to be set in high place and the rich in low place, for servants to be on horses and princes walking on earth.

The issue is, how can a rich man sit in low place and princes walking instead of being on horses? is it because both the rich and the prince do not know their place or position or are content with where they are and accept to be there?

How can this even happen when the bible has already said:

Luxury is not fitting for a fool; much less for a servant to have rule over princes.Prov.19:10

Any position can be given to you in life if you don't know where you suppose to be or sit. If you know who you really are and where you should be you would definitely fight to be there at all cost.

The ruler from whom this evil proceeds from is the devil. The weapons he uses to create this error is ignorant. He always keeps the sons of God in ignorance to have control over them. The bible says my people are perish for lack of knowledge.

My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge: Hosea 4:6

what you don't know can kill you easily and the knowledge of the truth always set a man free. who are you in christ if i may ask? Do you know who you are?

When you are a son of God you have access to inumerable blessings that you can never imagine. You are co heirs with Christ ones you become a son.

And if children, then heirs; heirs of God, and joint-heirs with Christ; if so be that we suffer with him, that we may be also glorified together.Romans 8:17

Again we are told Ephesians 2:6 that we are seated with Christ in heavenly places and are from above and not from the earth and he that is from a above overcomes all John 3:31. Can you see where you operate from?

We are God's ambassadors and representatives enforcing the devine mandate of our kingdom here on earth, Peter describes who we really are and our mission here, he says this:

But ye 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

It becomes difficult for the devil to misrepresent or misuse you if have knowledge of your true identity.

Ones you know this truth about your identity it gives gives yoi an upper hand over the devil and again it sets you free form him.

As God representative here on earth wr have authority to exercise our jurisdictional powers and authority to effect changes and bring about transformatuon.

And he said unto them, I beheld Satan as lightning fall from heaven. Behold, I give unto you power to tread on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy: and nothing shall by any means hurt you.Luke 10:8-19

Don't just sit and allow the devil to do as he pleases in your life whiles you possibly stop him and make him flee.

Don't live in ignorance.
