THE KNOWLEDGE OF YOUR IDENTITY
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).
PASTOR CHRIS OYAKHILOME Dsc. Dsc. DD.
The Word declares that we are a chosen race, a royal priesthood, a dedicated nation, God’s own purchased special people. You’re special. You’re born of God; therefore, you’re taxonomically different from the unregenerate man. You have the organic and existential attributes of deity. You’re of a divine origin. This is your identity in Christ.
God created you to set forth His wonderful deeds and display His virtues and perfections, His glory and His excellence in the earth. He called you out of darkness into His marvellous light, to reveal Him to your world. What’s more? You’re His righteousness (2 Corinthians 5:21); you’re the proof of His equity. Blessed be God!
It’s important for you to know these and other truths about your identity in Christ so you can walk accordingly. You need to know who you truly are, and the best way for you to know is to study God’s Word. The Word, particularly the Epistles, are the album of the new creation in Christ.
Through the Word you see and know yourself, you know the substance and character of your human spirit. In Christ, we’re of a different spirit. We’re gracious, loving, affectionate and kind. We’re royalty. Consider again what we read in our opening scripture; it unveils who you are, what you have, and what you can do in Christ.
When the revelation of your identity dawns on your spirit, it becomes your consciousness. You’ll speak boldly and act confidently in line with the Word, resulting in testimonies, victories, unending joy, and peace with prosperity. The knowledge of your identity and heritage in Christ puts springs in your steps. It causes you to walk in His righteousness and dominion always. Hallelujah!
CONFESSION
I'm God’s peculiar treasure; holy, righteous, sanctified and justified. I walk in the consciousness of my royal identity and I manifest the virtues and perfections of Christ to my world. God’s Word is my life; therefore, excellence, triumph and unending joy are the hallmarks of my life. I walk in the full blessings of the Gospel of Christ. Amen.
