- You must know who you are
By Bunmi Adebayo
Anything short of this is a recipe for failure. This is because when a fellow does not know who he is, addressing the challenge confronting him becomes difficult.
The first awareness God gave to Moses on the way towards embracing the responsibility of leading Israel out of the bondage of Egypt (one of the greatest challenges of leadership in the entire Bible) was to let Moses know who God really is :
Exodus 3: [13] And Moses said unto God, Behold, when I come unto the children of Israel, and shall say unto them, The God of your fathers hath sent me unto you; and they shall say to me, What is his name? what shall I say unto them?
[14] And God said unto Moses, I AM THAT I AM: and he said, Thus shalt thou say unto the children of Israel, I AM hath sent me unto you.
The name title above – I AM THAT I AM, is the summary of who God is. And no less a person but God HIMSELF gave humanity (through Moses) the name title which is actually a description of God.
By the title I AM THAT I AM, God was exposing that side of him as being Self created, self existing, and self sustaining.
The impression you have on who you are will determine how you will embrace issues of life in the year 2026, and indeed, how far you will go.
Please permit me to ask, who are you? What is the opinion you have about yourself?
Some group of people said that the men occupying the land God had promised to give to their forefathers, which they can now see before them, was a land filled with GIANTS, and that they themselves were like GRASSHOPPERS before the people.
You know what God said to them?
Numbers 14:[23] “Surely they shall not see the land which I sware unto their fathers, neither shall any of them that provoked me see it”.
Going forward, your first positive review and working principle for this year is to have a correct perspective of your Self -identity. Anything short of this will not be helpful to you.
Top of the day to you
