INTRODUCING YOU TO YOU #3: YOU ARE YOU

You among every human being on earth has a name. I can't answer your name neither you,mine. My name is what they call me.

You have a lifestyle, a story, a profession, a family.

You have records of success, struggles, failures and mistakes.

When you look into the mirror, you see you.

So, who are you?

If you say it's your name, it is a means of identification. If you say it's your physique(biological composition), it is a means of physical description.

Your lifestyle(past, present and future), your family, your profession, your ability, your gifts, your struggles, your mistakes, your success, your failure only appeal to mundane senses. Hence, who you are can never be defined or determined by the physical senses.

Do not confuse the questions; What is your name? What do you do? What are your abilities? What does your life experience look like? Etc. with Who are you?

You are more than what the eyes of man can see. Your physical appearance does not matter in defining who you are, it is only a case that will decay.

Everything man can use to describe you or identify you physically can not define you, they will fade and last.

Your definition is in the heart of your creator. He is the only one that can tell you who you are. (Psalms 139:13-14). You need to seek Him to show you your real identity.

According to His words in the Holy Scripture, He calls you His image(Genesis 5:1-2), He calls you His masterpiece (Ephesians 2:10), He calls you God.

You are YOU. You can not be anybody and nobody can be like you. Your identity is uncomparable. No man can define you, not even you (in your mundane mind).

You have to accept your physique, maintain and improve your success and abilities, make amends for your mistakes and failures. They are happenings and not your being. You are YOU, you are who your creator has called you, irrespective.

Confession: I am not what I do, I am not what I go through, I am not what they think or say, I am uncomparable, I am not what they see, but who my creator calls me, I AM WHO HE SAYS I AM, I AM HIS IMAGE, I AM ME.

THE MIRROR: IDENTITY AND SELFHOOD

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

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

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...
