Title: Identity in Crisis, Identity in Christ
By: Pastor
Anthony D. Martinez
Ephesians 3:18-19,
“18
And may you have the power to understand, as all God’s people should, how wide,
how long, how high and how deep his love. 19 May you experience the love of
Christ, though it is too great to understand fully. Then you will be made
complete with all the fullness of life and power that comes from God.
Your
identity is connected to your destiny. As a matter of fact, your identity in
Christ is the core if everything. Knowing our true identity encourages us to
live in the truth – and that is called true freedom.
There
are two things that establish our identity – one is the Breath of Life that
comes from God and His unconditional love for us! Without the breath of life,
we are dead. Similarly, without the unconditional love of God, are of no value.
Jeremiah 31:3
says,
“The Lord appeared to us in the past, saying: I have loved you with an
everlasting love; I have drawn you with unfailing kindness.”
God’s
love is unconditional, unending and eternal. And yes, God, Himself, is love. He
is consistent. He is not fickle minded. He is never moody and He’s not
unpredictable. God’s love always sets us free from performance mindset.
LOVE IS A
CHOICE.
Part of the nature of love is a choice. If there is no choice, there is no
love. God’s love towards us is a choice. And part of the expression of His love
for us is His gift of freedom to choose. Without this gift, we are not humans,
we are just robots.
However,
humans use this will to keep from doing evil and choose to do good, believing
this is the way of life. It simply doesn’t work. Our good is never enough. God did
not give us the gift of choice to choose between two branches – the good or the
evil. More precisely, He has given us
the gift of choice between two trees – the Tree of Life or the Tree of
Knowledge of Good and Evil.
Furthermore,
God gave us our will to choose to surrender. To surrender means to cease to
act. Giving all to Him. Trusting Him in everything. Letting God take full
control.

I TOUCH THE SKY WHEN MY KNEES HIT THE GROUND

Surrendering
and humility are two words often looked down upon in this world. These two
words more often than not equates to weakness and lack of authority.
1
Peter 5:5-7, NLT,
"In the same way, you who are
younger must accept the authority of the elders. And all of you, dress
yourselves in humility as you relate to one another, for “God opposes the proud but gives grace to the humble.”
6 So
humble yourselves under the mighty power of God, and at the right time he will
lift you up in honor. 7 Give
all your worries and cares to God, for he cares about you.
Humility attracts heaven
In
this world we need to be on top to be recognized at school, in the office, and
also in a group. But with God it works in a very different way. For us to be
able to touch God’s heart we need to humble ourselves. Humility makes God
smile. Humility is the spirit of heaven. When we humble ourselves before God,
he pours out his blessing on us. And what is more worthwhile in life than
having God’s favour in your life. Humility attracts heaven and it touches the
heart of God.
Surrender is power
Never
surrender. It’s one of the favourite sayings of this world. But in the language
of heaven, surrendering to God is a manifestation power. When you surrender and
let God move in your seemingly difficult situation that is when he is most
powerful. Surrender is freedom from the illusion that you can do it all. It is
freedom from fear, doubts, worries and addiction. Surrender and just allow God
to turn thing around for your good.
