WHO ARE YOU? THE IDENTITY QUESTION

(28-05-2006)

Matthew 16:13-19 People may have different views on who you are. They are even entitled to their own opinions. You need to know who you are so that you do not become a slave of how people perceive you. You are not people's opinion, you are God's opinion.
1Chronicles 4:9-10 Do not allow your background/ your past to shape your future. Jabez refused to be modelled by his mother's opinion.
Numbers 13:27-33 Grasshopper mentality. What you see yourself to be will shape your thinking and your future. You will even think that that's how others view you.

Do you want to know who I am?
2Corinthians 5:16-17 New Living Translation
"We have stopped evaluating others by what the world thinks about them"
  1. I am an ambassador for Christ. 2Corinthians 20:20-21
    2Corinthians 5:20 We are Christ's ambassadors. We represent the kingdom of heaven here on earth.
    An ambassador is a person sent to a foreign country to represent his/her own government.
    Amos 3:7 The Lord will do nothing without revealing his secret to his servants the prophets.
    Genesis 18:16-33 God could not hide from Abraham what He wanted to do to Sodom and Gomorrah.
    2Kings 4:18-37 The Shunammite woman knew where to run to when he son was dead. Instead of rushing to the funeral undertakers she ran to the man of God. Can people of the world run to us as Christians if they are stranded?
  1. I am a royal priest and God's special person 1Peter 2:5,9
  2. I am a new creation. 2Corinthians 5:17
  3. I can do all things through Christ. Philippians 4:13

I am who God says I am.
I can do what God says I can do.
