Things That Can Alter The Identity of Man

Image
By
It is true that man(human being) is created with glory which makes him different from all other creatures created by God. The significance of every human being has been established by God from the beginning of their creation.         
          Therefore, man has a greater identity above devil, difficulties, trials, weaknesses, failures, mistakes,sicknesses and every other negative experiences he might encounter on earth, for he is a child of God and even god on earth.
         Despite how great the glory of man, can his Identity still be altered(confused) by anything whatsoever? Yes! Although, the identity God has named man with is unchanging, devil can use a lot of things to steal away the attention of man from the reality of who he is. A lot of things can alter(confuse) the Identity of Man, the father of them is sin (stealing, prostitution, idolatry, wickedness, unrighteousness e.t.c) and fear. Others include; attitudes(laziness, lack of self-control e.t.c) behaviours ( arrogance, pride e.t.c)  and habits( indecent dressing, eating/drinking, manners(bad) of relating with people.
        Moreover, When God created man, He created him with a will to make choices, eventhough God has power over everything He created, He will never force any man to do His will or follow His ways. Man can choose to walk/live in the reality of his identity by following God and His ways and can also choose to alter his identity by living a reckless life. One is certain, you can control your choices, but you don't have any power to control the consequences of your choice.
        However, when the identity of man is altered, it is difficult for him to realize himself and people around him to define him rightly, because they would want to define him with the attitudes, behaviours and habits he portrays which is totally different from whom God has made him to be. That is why it is very important for man to live in the likeness God their creator and father so that people will not be confused of who they are.
          I heard you say in your mind that, what about people who pretend to be what they are not? The truth is, no man can fake all the parts of his life, the truth will be known by many and pretence is an habit of a confused man.
     The best thing to do is to run away from everything that can alter your identity and live in liberty.

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."

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....
