Who am I?
A prophetic & theological word
I have friends that I am sure will be left behind when Christ returns. That is because they call themselves by some other name other than a ‘Servant of Christ’. (Read Revelations)
We like to identify with groups of people rather than the family of God. We call ourselves a Democrat, Republican, or Independent. It is of course OK to be joined to a party so one can vote, but our identity should only be in Christ not our political persuasion.
There are Baptists, Catholics, Pentecostals, etc. but such titles only get in the way of who God wants us to be. We say “I am a New Yorker” or “a Texan” but this only complicates the matter. Often we state ‘where we live’ in order to find respect or positional status with a group of people, or to avoid what God is doing.
We justify who we want to be and avoid who God wants us to be by taking various worldly titles that neither support God’s intentions nor His plan for mankind.
Who am I? I am a Child of God, no more and no less. I fear the Lord and the fear of the Lord says, “Whatever you do or decide to do God is always righteous and just.” So who am I to say, “That one political party is better than another, and therefor I belong to the best party.”
God decides political matters and it is God’s will that we should find and obey. If I support anything that is outside of God’s will I lose who God wants me to be. Oh foolish Church, put aside who the world wants you to be or become and rather align yourself with the fear and will of God.
Be bold, be confident, be the person God wants you to be and take your place in the Body of Christ—not the body of some other group, organization or culture.
I am Steve, the son of John, born in Fresno, and I am a Christian first and everything else comes second. This is who I am.
