YOUR IDENTITY IS INTACT

“And they came to Jericho: and as he went out of Jericho with his disciples and a great number of people, blind Bartimaeus, the son of Timaeus, sat by the highway side begging.” (Mark 10: 46)

That is the Focal Scripture of Streams of Joy Devotional today.

Our Focal Scripture announces the person of blind Bartimaeus, the son of Timaeus. The word ‘Timaeus’ means honour. So, to put it differently, this man was blind Bartimaeus, the son of ‘Honour’. He was blind, yet he was still the son of honour. The fact of his blindness did not change the fact that he was the son of honour. The fact that he had a negative condition did not change the reality of the identity he was birthed into.

Friend, hear me as I hear the Lord: no negativity will swallow your identity. Whatever you are struggling with does not change your identity in Christ. Whatever battles you are facing do not change the fact that you are God’s own, redeemed by the blood of Jesus, and engrafted into the dynasty of heaven. The situation of your finances does not change the fact that you serve a God who owns a thousand cattle on a thousand hills.

Whatever the devil has tried to do around you does not change who God has made you. Your identity in Christ is stronger than every affliction from the enemy. Your identity in Christ is stronger that the conspiracy of the wicked. Your identity is stronger than the wicked plots of those who are positioned against you. Your identity in Christ supersedes the negativity in the economy you operate in. Your identity in Christ is above your realities.

If Jesus has redeemed you, then your life is hid in Christ in God. If Jesus has redeemed you, then you are not what the enemy says you are. God is your ever present help in time of trouble. God is closer to you than any affliction can ever be. Your struggle is not who you are. Your battle is not who you are. Your mistake is not who you are. Your limitation is not who you are. If it is not of Christ, then it is not your identity.

If you have been redeemed by the blood of Jesus, then insist on your identity in Christ, no matter the realities that are not in your favour. If God be for you, every negativity around you will bow to your identity in Christ.

1 Peter 2: 25 says: “For ye were as sheep going astray; but are now returned unto the Shepherd and Bishop of your souls.”

Declare With Me: No negativity will swallow my identity in Christ, in Jesus’ name!
