Elijah too, knew his identity. When some people came to him and said, “Man of God, come down.” He said, “If I be a man of God, let fire come down.”

The same way the devil is speaking to many people today. He would say, “If you are a child of God, why are you suffering?” “Why do you have evil thoughts?"

The prodigal son was unworthy and bad but the Bible says that after some time, he came to himself. That is, he knew who he was. He realized he was a son and not a slave. The devil will push you forward and backward if you don’t know who you are. You have to realize who you are before you can be immune against spiritual poisons and arrows.

WHO ARE YOU?

Looking at the life of Jesus, we could see that He was always confessing who He is, what He is and His mission in life. He said, “I am the way, the truth and the life.” He says, “I am the bread of life. I am the light of the world.” The question is, who are you? I am not asking for your name but for what God says you are? What is your identity?

The Bible says, “Jesus is the vine and we are the branches (John 15:5). 2 Corinthians 5:17 says, “Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature old things are passed away; behold, all thing are become new.” It means that as a child of God you are new creature. In Ephesians 2:10, the Bible says, “You are His workmanship”. He works on you, and you are His product.

You are the righteousness of God in Christ. 2 Corinthians 5:21 says, “For he hath made him to be sin for us, who knew no sin, that we might be made the righteousness of God in him.” Romans 8:1 says, “There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh but after the spirit.”

This means that you are in Christ Jesus. Romans 8:37 says, “Nay in all these things we are more than conquerors through him that loved us.” This means that you are more than conquerors.
