The Power of Identity

in #motivation6 years ago

The making of man followed a particular process in Genesis 1:25-26.

•The Image (being - your identity. The foundation)
•The likeness (doing - your purpose. The assignment)
•The dominion mandate (having - your resources. The inheritance)

1. Image.

God made man in His own image. Image is basically your identity in Him. It's about BEING a human being like God.

People that know who they are, are usually those that do greater things. The devil knows this and attacks our identity specifically because he knows that it is our foundation. The devil distorted eve's mind because she did not know her identity.

He tried it with Jesus to get Him to prove that He is the Son of God. But Jesus did not need to prove anything. God had already reinforced it by saying "This is my beloved son. In whom I am well pleased... "

NB: if you do not know who you are, you will be made to earn it by doing. You will be made to question God's love. You will be made to question your inheritance.

Live with a reinforcement and reassurance of who God has made you in Him. If the foundation, your identity is shaky, your purpose and inheritance will be taken from you. You are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, a peculiar people, etc.

God loves you. He cares about you. He's not some anger wielding God that I'd ever ready to rain fire and brimstone. He is a God of Love. He loves you unconditionally. You are the apple of His eyes. God is happy with you.

PS. Know how big your God is and focus on your identity in Him and total success will be your stepping stone.

Thanks for reading people. Much love😘😘😘
