In life’s journey, we often encounter moments when the weight of failure and defeat tries to anchor us down. The enemy whispers lies into our hearts, attempting to convince us that we are destined for mediocrity and insignificance. But, my dear brothers and sisters, let me remind you today of the truth that surpasses all lies. Say to yourself, “I will be who God says I am in destiny. I won’t be what the devil wants me to be.” Wake up! Understand you are not a failure. You are not a loser. You are a destiny on two legs, going somewhere to happen!
Let this declaration resonate within your spirit as we embark on a journey of rediscovering our true identity in Christ.
1. Embracing the Truth of Your Identity: The world may label us with various titles—labels that attempt to define our worth and purpose. However, as followers of Christ, we must anchor ourselves in the unshakable truth found in God’s Word. In Ephesians 2:10, we are reminded, “For we are God’s handiwork, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do.” Yes, you are fearfully and wonderfully made, designed with a unique purpose and destiny. Let go of the chains that hold you captive to doubt and step into the freedom of God’s promises.
2. Confronting the Lies of the Enemy: The devil, the father of lies, seeks to distort our perception of ourselves and diminish our confidence in God’s plans for us. But remember, “You belong to God, my dear children. You have already won a victory over those people because the Spirit who lives in you is greater than the spirit who lives in the world” (1 John 4:4). Refuse to accept the lies of the enemy as your reality. Instead, cling to the truth that you are an overcomer, empowered by the Spirit of God dwelling within you.
3. Awakening Your Destiny: Every step you take, every breath you breathe is infused with purpose. You are not a mistake; you are a divine creation carefully fashioned by the hands of your Heavenly Father. As Jeremiah 29:11 assures us, “For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.” Embrace this truth with every fibre of your being, for you are a destiny on two legs, divinely ordained to impact this world.
4. Repeating the Declaration: To anchor these truths deep within our hearts, we must repeat the affirmations that align us with God’s perspective. Say to yourself, “I will be who God says I am in destiny. I won’t be what the devil wants me to be.” Remind yourself of your identity as a child of God loved, cherished, and destined for greatness. Repeat these words often; let them echo in your mind and shape your thoughts so you may walk boldly in the confidence of your God-given purpose.
Conclusion:
Dear brothers and sisters, know that your past mistakes, setbacks, or the lies of the enemy do not define you. Through Christ, you have been redeemed, forgiven, and equipped for a divine purpose.
Embrace the truth of your identity, confront the enemy’s lies, and awaken to the destiny that awaits you. Say to yourself, “I will be who God says I am in destiny. I won’t be what the devil wants me to be.” Let this declaration resound within you, and let your life be a testament to God’s great plans for you.
You are a destiny on two legs, going somewhere to happen!
