Your true identity?

Today I want to remind you that you didn’t come into this world by mistake. God wasn’t bored when he was creating you. He sent you into this world for a purpose. And you are given a choice, and that choice is in your hands, and you choose whether to hand it to God or blow it. I don’t know how many chances he has given you in life to discover your true identity, but today he has given you another chance to do so.

God created us to reflect his image, to rule over creation, and to multiply.

He gave each and everyone a purpose, and if you are still struggling to find your purpose, the reason could be that you have allowed your own heart and understanding to deceive you. The truth is, don’t follow your heart but follow the conviction of the Holy Spirit. Our hearts can deceive and lead us outside the will of God.

The Bible tells us that we must trust the Lord with all our hearts and lean not on our understanding (See Proverbs 3:5-6). Following our passion isn’t aligned with God’s purpose for our lives, but following the guidance of the Holy Spirit is. We often link our career accomplishments with our identity, which can lead to us falling short of our true God-given purpose in life. You are still yourself without your qualifications, house, and accomplishments, but you aren’t yourself without the true identity given by God. It’s foolish to focus more on temporary pleasures because, on our deathbed, we can’t take anything with us. It’s okay to achieve those things, but let us pray hard to discover our identity.

If you want to know your identity, get to know your creator first. Have a relationship with him and he’ll reveal it to you. What I am saying is, open the door of your heart and allow him to be the one who lives inside you.

We should live to bring glory to God. We can do that through prayer and study of His Word, the Bible, so that we might better know what He has for us. For us to live with a God-driven purpose, you must first put down this life to gain life (See Proverbs 19:21).

Prayer

Dear heavenly father, I appreciate you for providing me with this opportunity to uncover my actual identity. I acknowledge that through all my life I've been living a life thinking that is aligned with what you called me for. Forgive me for all my sins, which I have committed every day of my life, in thought, word, and action.

I am truly sorry for whatever wrongdoings I may have committed against you, and I apologize profusely. To alter my way of life and cease from sin, with the aid of your grace, so that I may walk in the path of righteousness. And give thanks to the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit in the name of the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, amen!

Why You Find It Difficult to Recover Your Destiny

Have you ever felt like something precious was stolen from you—your purpose, your dreams, or even your sense of direction in life? Many people go through seasons where they feel lost, stuck, or unable to step into the future they desire. If you’ve been struggling to recover your destiny, there are often deeper reasons behind it. Let’s explore some spiritual and practical factors that might be making it hard for you to walk in your true calling, especially looking at the role of covenants and agreements. 1. Unresolved Spiritual Covenants and Agreements One major reason people struggle to recover their destiny is because of unseen spiritual agreements or covenants, knowingly or unknowingly entered into. These can include: Family covenants: Sometimes ancestors made pacts for protection, wealth, or power that now affect future generations. Personal agreements: Visiting spiritual practitioners, taking part in certain rituals, or even careless words (“I’ll never succeed”) can create spiritu...

Understanding Destiny Swapping: A Hidden Agenda Over Your Purpose (PART 1)

Have you ever felt like something is off in your life—like you're living a life that doesn’t belong to you? You're talented, passionate, and full of dreams, yet doors remain closed and progress is mysteriously delayed. If so, you may be dealing with something deeply spiritual and often hidden: destiny swapping. In this post, we’ll explore what destiny swapping is, how it happens, signs to look out for, and what you can do to get back and reclaim your God-given purpose. What Is Destiny Swapping? Destiny swapping is a spiritual manipulation where one person’s divine destiny is exchanged, stolen, or traded—often without their knowledge—for another person’s benefit. It happens when dark powers, witches, false prophets, or envious individuals manipulate or hijack the divine plan God originally intended for someone’s life. In simple terms, destiny swapping means you end up living a life that is not yours, while someone else is living the blessings, favor, or opportunities that were m...

God reveals in order to redeem

The enemy you know is less persuasive than the enemy you don’t know. In most cases, God displays himself to us in dreams or in visions. So whenever God discloses it to you. He is warning you to take a step and to act upon what he revealed. One thing you should perceive is that your enemy is not your neighbor, sister, colleagues, etc. We only have one enemy, which is the devil. Satan is very manipulative and if you aren’t prayerful enough, you’ll end up falling in to his traps. The day you’ll understand, you’ll avoid despising them.
