Your True Identity in Christ


Being a Christian is an eternal knowledge of acceptance, security and significance in Christ. One must therefore be conscious of who they are in Christ in order to exercise the authority they are equipped with. True victory in Christ is in knowing our rights as citizens of our Lord’s Kingdom. We, however, do not work to obtain these rights for we are ushered into them once we are born anew and recreated in spirit. (2 Corinthians 5:17)
As you ingest these truths into your spirit, allow them to become part of you and your thoughts. Allow them to seep into your bones that they may be your confession and proclamation at all times.
