Have you ever reached a moment when you hit a point where you can’t figure out exactly what you really want any more in life? Just because everything is not working.
Generations to generations, a few influential individuals costumed a trend on what we should want. And as human know ledged increases, this so called “illuminated ones’’ tend to outshine the truth by tampering it with a more sophisticated diagram of human needs pleasing to the eyes. Dozens of self-help authors came out and dominated our bookshelves, conveying the good news that everything in life can be achieved if we just work hard. But human frailties do exist, and when it happens and we didn’t get what we hoped for, an emphasis of failure is placed upon our forehead. Stuck in a traffic of disbelief, or thinking of parking in a cheap bar, considering for a moment of amnesia.
This psychological virus was created and deeply analyzed for a long time now, and is going with the trend so that no one could escape its claws. And its design is for us to end up having an ample time of questioning. Asking why our needs were not provided, why were people got killed, and why the strong dictates what the weak should do. At this point, an issue of trust to the one who provides arises.
Originally, we don’t need anything. God provided everything we need in the garden; even knowing what’s good from evil. Since we were God’s special beings, our security is assured. But were were fed with a possible shift of thinking that we can be more than this. Opening an opportunity of needing something to aim a served objective.
Now, all of us could agree that indeed we really need something. Food, a roof and a name. And the more the world gives highlight to these things, we find ourselves longing for more feeding our insatiable desires. Why do we need? Why do we need more? Is it discontentment? Or insecurity? Our world today is full of worldly-driven organisms, whose passion is to gain and gain more. We were defined as such, for greatness, for fame, and power. But do these things define us?
The enemy wants us to feel the need for more. Because he knows since we are not going anywhere, we will question God. We will demand for an answer to almost anything. And he smiles when we tend to show are backs to God and trying to find a solution on our own. Playing the blame-game and the “how to be your own god.” Brushing off Lordship and salvation aside.
The reality is the enemy came up with a cover up. Letting us see the superficial without trying to know the deeper root of the matter- Identity. We were bombarded with the need for provision, protection and position. But we were called heirs of God. For an earthly prince would not think of these things, for he knows that he has the authority over the treasures of the kingdom, and his security and position is fortified with the reality that as long as his father sits on the throne, he will always be the prince. What more that our Heavenly Father forever will be sitting on the throne in heaven. Our identity is the key that unlocks prosperity and freedom. The adversary even started questioning Jesus with “If you are the Son of God…” and then offering the sumptuous wealth of the earth. But He knows His position, that’s why He can confidently say “I AM.”
At the start and all throughout till the end of the day, remind yourself of your position. He is the Great I Am… and you’re the son and daughter of the one who said “I AM.”
Beloved, you must remember the enemy will use any opportunity he can to rob your future and your hope (John 10:10).
