HOLY SPIRIT: The Revealer of Man's Identity

The true revealer of man's Identity is not the mirror of this world but the Holy Spirit.
   God the creator of heaven and the earth and every thing on earth including human being has from the point of creation established the significance of everything He created Only one thing is needed for man, he must find his way to God.
   After that Jesus Christ has come to the earth to blot out the sin, guilt of sin and Identity confusion of man, it is expected that man run to Jesus and accept Him as Lord and Saviour. Because He says in the book of John 14:6 "...I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me." Nobody goes to God except through Jesus and nobody can know his true identity except he knows God.
     After knowing Jesus there is yet another person to know. Before Jesus ascended to heaven, He promised us someone, he called him a counselor and comforter who is the Holy Spirit. It the Holy Spirit that quickens our spirit to be alive to God. When you give your life to Christ Jesus, the Holy Spirit comes upon your Spirit and dwell there. So, through your fellowship and relationship with this Holy Spirit, you become assured of who you are. He hears from God and tells you who you are.
    However, it is essential to understand the fact that the Holy Spirit is in charge in this new testament era and through Him you can know what God the Father thinks of you, through the Holy Spirit you can know the Identity God gave you. This will not happen by default but through consistent relationship with him (the Holy Spirit).
    The book of Romans chapter 8 vs 14-16 "For all who are led by the Spirit of God are sons of God.For [the Spirit which] you have now received [is] not a spirit of slavery to put you once more in bondage to fear, but you have received the Spirit of adoption [the Spirit producing sonship] in [the bliss of] which we cry, Abba (Father)! Father! The Spirit Himself [thus] testifies together with our own spirit, [assuring us] that we are children of God."
   It is the Spirit of God (Holy Spirit)that realigns you fully with your heavenly father and when He's in you, you have the boldness to call God your Father and therefore, your authority is restored to you as His Child.

THE MIRROR: IDENTITY AND SELFHOOD

By
Identity. It’s the essence of who you are—your personality, the core of your being. Selfhood, on the other hand, is the expression of that identity, the way you present yourself to the world. Think back to a time when you had to show your identity card. Do you remember the reaction of the person you handed it to? Likely, they nodded in approval, having seen all the necessary information about you on that card. Your identity, in that moment, was defined by the details captured on that small piece of plastic. But identity is more than just what's written on a card. It’s how you define yourself and how others perceive you. It’s the name you give yourself, the image you project, and the way people recognize you. Selfhood is often conveyed through three key aspects: - Dressing (Your Appearance) - Actions (What You Do and How You Do It) - Speech (The Words You Speak and How You Utter Them)  Dressing (Your Appearance) There’s a common saying: "Appearance shows the manner." Where...

The Greatest Goal

By
When the ball enters the net, they say it's a goal! And the loosing team feel defeated forgetting that they've got the greatest goal.  Same to a man who has all his goals lain down and strategically pulling his efforts towards the goal but to realize at the end that, his goals can't be achieved, for known or unknown reasons. He looses strength. At times, he can feel like it's over. But the truth remains that it's not over until it is over. He's got the greatest goal.       Really, a goal is the achievement toward which effort is directed. And billions are the "I want to", "by God's grace I will", "in fact, I must" in the speeches of every man, especially at the beginning of every matter, but strength wanes and the story changes maybe in the middle of the road. Because all efforts put towards the achievement of the goals seem to be less affective. The truth is, no man has control over whatever happens and will happen....

The Best Way To Fight Against Poverty

By
Poverty simply means lack of basic necessities of life. It means being poor in a specific aspect. Meaning that, one could be poor financially (Financial Poverty), spiritually (Spiritual Poverty), intellectually (Intellectual Poverty), morally (Moral Poverty). Appearantly, the major focus of the world is financial poverty. You are seen as being poor when you are broke. However, being broke is not the source nor the head of poverty. A man may be financially poor but intellectually, spiritually and morally rich. I often say it that, "money is not all man needs for life". So, if all you have or crave for is money, you are still a pauper. Financial Poverty is one of the strongest tools of the devil to win people into his kingdom. It is so strong that, even the so called "annointed of the Lord" are falling into the devil's trap through the tool.  Our society, especially a country like Nigeria where majority of the citizens are subjected to financial povert...
