Actively defend your identity

🌟 EXHORTATION through THE BOOK OF LIFE

Scripture to ponder on:

“giving thanks to the Father who has qualified us to be partakers of the inheritance of the saints in the light. He has delivered us from the power of darkness and conveyed us into the kingdom of the Son of His love,”

‭‭Colossians‬ ‭1‬:‭12‬-‭13‬ ‭NKJV‬‬

🤺🔥 ACTIVELY DEFEND YOUR IDENTITY 🔥🤺

Beloved,

Many Christians suffer because they don't truly understand who they are in Christ. Yet, the Bible reminds us that God works within us, prompting us to desire and do what pleases Him (Philippians 2:12-13).

From the beginning, God created you with the ability to reflect His glory, just as He blessed Adam (Genesis 2:15). But because of sin, the world has fallen under Satan’s influence (1 John 5:19), which explains the confusion and suffering around us.

But the good news is that God hasn’t left you there. He has delivered you from the grip of darkness and transferred you into the kingdom of light of Jesus Christ, His beloved Son. It’s like going from total darkness to brilliant light: your vision changes, your life changes.

Colossians 1:12-13 shows us what God has done for us, and Philippians 2:12-13 calls us to fully live this new identity with gratitude and perseverance, for He (the Holy Spirit who raised Jesus from the dead) who is now in you is more powerful, greater, and majestic than all the powers in the world, and this is your inheritance in Christ. (1 John 4:4/Ephesians 2:8/Romans 8:17)

REJECT THE WORKS OF DARKNESS WITH PERSEVERANCE

Now that you know who you are in Christ, tolerate nothing from darkness in your life:

Sickness, fear, confusion, guilt, demonic oppression… none of this belongs to you anymore. Command these things with perseverance, persistence, and daily devotion to leave your life in the name of Jesus.

You are a child of light, so receive all that the light of God gives you. It offers you: peace, healing, freedom, joy, wisdom, power, and victory.

Stand firm in your new identity.

Walk with gratitude.

And let the light within you shine.

Jesus’ beloved !
