LIGHT FOR THE WAY

"I know where I came from and where I am going"(John 8:14AMP)

DO YOU KNOW WHO YOU ARE?

A national news network recently reported a man who was released from prison after serving a time for a crime he didn't commit. A case of mistaken identity had stolen many of his best years. And unless you understand who you are before God, Satan will sentence you to a life of worthlessness, fear and manipulation. Identifying someone means having the ability to recognise and say exactly who they are; so when you identify with what people say you are versus what God says, you are setting yourself up for problems. Jesus identified with God's opinion. "I know where I came from and where I am going'. People said terrible things about Jesus, yet the Bible says, 'The stone...the builders rejected has become the cornerstone' (Psalm 118:22). Sometimes we are so busy telling people what to do, that we neglect to tell them who they are. Knowing who you are in Christ gives you the confidence to hold your head high! Paul says 'in Christ you have been made complete'(Colosian 2:10). 'Complete!' That means you lack nothing! Once you accept that, you stop feeling constantly fall short. When you have money in the bank, and you need to withdraw it, you dont feel pressured to. That's because you know its there with your name on it, right? You dont have to struggle to be right with people when you know you are right with God. He loves you and has plan for you; never lose sight of that! Instead of focusing on people, begin looking to 'Jesus, the Author and finisher of your faith'(Heb12:2), because you have His approval!

PRAYER POINT

Father, thank you for what and whom you have made me to be. Thank you for bringing completion into my life this day in Jesus name.
