At creation, man was created as a king, a god, who has dominion over everything created. He was made ruler and possessor of the earth. He was made to be greater than every other thing. He was amazing, unstoppable, unlimited, powerful and full of wisdom.
What you are going through, your circumstances or people around should not suggest your identity. NO! Rather, your identity should suggest and dictate what happens around you. You are not a victim of unpalatable situations rather you are a king over the storm, so take charge. You are citizen of heaven and possessor of the earth, therefore only your vote is needed.
You are a citizen of heaven, ambassador of Christ and carrier of God’s spirit, therefore your resources are from an unfailing economy where recession cannot be. Your strength is not according to the size of the physical food you eat but according to the size of the spiritual food you eat on the dining table of God’s energizing word. The more you “eat” God’s word as you study, the more you know who you truly are and save yourself from the wrong identity that has been imputed in your mind by the enemy. You must make sure you know, believe and do what you read from the scriptures, because it is what you have on the inside of you that the Spirit of the Lord will use to raise a standard against the enemy.
Sin, unrighteousness, makes us loose our identity. It made the first Adam loose his position and subjected him to ridicule. But thanks be to God through our Lord Jesus Christ, who gave us a new life in Him, that through Him we (as many who believe in Him) may have our rightful place back again. Now we are seated with Christ in heavenly places far above all things. Now we rule from above, from a vantage position and our identity is restored in Christ Jesus. Redemption is not the end of story, transformation must follow i.e. Renewal of the mind. Therefore, Salvation is a means to an end not the end in itself. It qualifies you to start in the race of dominion and kingship. You can’t have Jesus and not have the whole world. The Beginning of Knowing Who You Are is to KNOW JESUS. HE IS YOUR IDENTITY.
