FINDING YOUR TRUE IDENTITY

Identity is how a person perceives himself or herself.

 Sometimes the reflection one sees in the mirror may not be true, but as long as we believe that image to be true, it becomes our identity. We belong to God and not just here on earth by accident so the identity we should carry is the one He has given to us. Unknown identity is one of the greatest challenges being faced by many people in our world today.

It is very important to see yourself as God sees you as it is impossible to do more than you perceive yourself to be. How you see yourself is a major controlling factor in the fulfilment of destiny.

WRONG TOOLS FOR SELF-IDENTIFICATION

Jobs/Careers: Many identify themselves with what they do. However it is important to note that what you do is not who you are.

Other people’s Views/Perceptions: Some people define themselves by what other people say about them, this also is not right.

Feelings: Some base their identities on how they are feeling at a particular time, this only means that their identities would change often as feelings are prone to change.

Possessions: The things you have accumulated shouldn’t be allowed to define you as they are perishable.

Conditions or Circumstances of life:  What you are currently going through shouldn’t define you. Your definition should come from what the Word of God says about you. If you use the wrong tools to define yourself, when those things are taken away then it means that you lose your identity.
