TOPIC: Who You Are And What You Know (Rhapsody of Realities 31 July 2024)

Ye are of God, little children, and have overcome them: because greater is he that is in you, than he that is in the world (1 John 4:4).

Rhapsody Of Realities For Today’s MESSAGE:

It’s so important that you’re always conscious of who you are in Christ and allow that knowledge control everything about your life. It’s one of the things that made David in the Old Testament so different from everyone else. David won many battles in his lifetime.

Recall his encounter with Goliath; when all the armies of Israel, including the valiant King Saul, were terrified of Goliath, David said, “…for who is this uncircumcised Philistine, that he should defy the armies of the living God?” (1 Samuel 17:26).

In verse forty-five, addressing Goliath, he declared, “…Thou comest to me with a sword, and with a spear, and with a shield: but I come to thee in the name of the LORD of hosts, the God of the armies of Israel, whom thou hast defied” (1 Samuel 17:45). Subsequently, David decapitated Goliath and won the victory for Israel as a stripling, a young lad too young to be in the army.

The difference between David and the rest of the Israelites was that David knew who he was and was conscious of it. He recognized the covenant between God and Israel and knew that as a result of that covenant, anyone coming against Israel was coming against God.

The others in Israel didn’t function with that knowledge, and that was why they could be bullied by Goliath. God said, “My people perish for their lack of knowledge” (Hosea 4:6). You can, and should always win; it’s the life God has given you.

But you have to know your divine provisions and rights in Christ. If you don’t know who you are, you’ll be disadvantaged in life. Nonetheless, if you know who you are but don’t know what to do with the knowledge, you’ll still be buffeted by the circumstances and adversities of life.

Therefore, every day, live with the consciousness that you’re born of God; you have the same life with Him. You’re superior to Satan, with dominion over circumstances and the elements of this world. Ponder these and similar truths in the Word of God, and you’ll walk in victory consistently.

PRAYER

Dear Father, I thank you for making me a partaker of your divine nature and giving me victory in Christ Jesus. I’m conscious of who I am in Christ, and I walk in the knowledge of my divine rights and heritage in Christ. Greater is He that is in me than he that is in the world. I am victorious in every situation, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.
