Who I am.

I am not what the world says I am
I am not what my family thinks or want me to be
I am not what Nigeria has recruited people to be
I am not what my friends imagine me to be
I am not what my pastor designed me to be
I am not even what my church
or my institution has recruited people to be
I am not even what I say or think I am
I am what God says I am!

     There is a God-design for everylifes, bringing another pattern into one's life is like manipulating the intentions of God. To be what God wants one to be calls for knowing what God wants one to be. I.e. it involves
1. Knowing
2. Being and
3. Doing
●     In knowing, what does the bible says about me? Is there any record of me in the bible? If I were to be asked who am I as John was asked, can I trace my purpose to the scriptures?
John 1:22-23.
22So they said to him, “Who are you? We need an answer for those who sent us. What do you say about yourself?” 
23John replied in the words of Isaiah the prophet: “I am the voice of one calling in the wilderness, ‘Make straight the way for the Lord .’” 
Who did God says I am?

●     In Being, do I believe what the word says about me? Do I position myself at my station? Being precedes doing, you cannot do what you are not.

1Cor.15:10a.

10But by the grace of God I am what I am, and His grace tome was not in vain.

●     In Doing, I must reflect my state of being. Swimming doesn't make a fish to be a fish, a fish swims because its a fish. Our activities and ministering to God should be the natural duty and obligation of our being.  I do what I am.

1Cor.15:10b.

10No, I worked harder than all of them— yet not I, but the grace of God that was with.

Be what God says you are...shalom!
