[NIV] Exodus 5:15 Then the Israelite overseers went and appealed to Pharaoh: “Why have you treated your servants this way?
The Israelites had been in captivity and bondage for so long that they saw themselves as servants. Their perception was a fact because they looked like servants and were treated as such in the land... Hoewever it was not the truth...
Has any situation kept you in bondage for so long now? Is it poverty? Stagnation? Unfruitfulness in relationships?
Unfruitfulness in your career or business? Have you allowed the this fact to change your identity? Do you now see yourself as someone with no prospect, someone who is stuck in life simply because a particular situation has been around for years and seemingly refuses to budge???
Remember I had earlier written a piece on ' The Truth and not the Fact Sets you Free'. I believe the Israelites had forgotten the truth and adopted the facts as the their new truth...
If a baby lion is trained in a home as a pet, the lion may think that its a house pet but does that change the Truth that its a lion??? No it does not...
The truth is that the Israelites are God's firstborn son, a chosen people, a Covenant people. Perhaps at one point in time they believed this but when their situation persisted for so long they forgot....It is possible for us to forget who we are when we move away from the one who created us, when the issues of life become so overwhelming that we feel like we're drowning or have drowned in them as was their case..
In a world like ours where we face all kinds of difficulties it is very easy to start defining yourself by the facts (what you see) and not the truth ( what or who God says you are)... So take this as God's reminder to you today...
In Jesus Christ you are a covenant child, birthed in purpose,equipped with all necessary tools to live a life pleasing to God, to go forth and create wealth and to be all that God created you to be.
You are His seed, you carry His greatness, you are full of His power and His love... You have the ability to be successful in all you do,you have His wisdom to direct you and keep you from falling prey to the enemy's traps...
Today i choose to believe that I'm reminded that I'm an exact replica of God Almighty Himself..
Go back to Gods word and find out who God says you are, what He says you have and what He says you can do... Write it down, post it up where your eyes will always see it and be reminded of it....
The weekend is just around the corner so have an awesome Thursday... God bless you real good..
