AUGUST 27th - CAPSULE 27
TOPIC: WHO ARE YOU?
BIBLE TEXT: Acts 19 vs. 15 – One day the evil spirit answered them, “Jesus I know and I know Paul, but who are you?
Who are you? It is a question that many people shy away from answering. People get angry and feel reluctant to answer quickly; not that they do not know what to say, but how to say it. Knowing who you are is very important and crucial because it helps your survival in this cruel world.
The sons of Sceva were trying to imitate other personalities to cast out demons. The demons told them – “Jesus I know, Paul I know but who are you?” People ask you every day at various gates - who are you? As you stand before the various gates, these gates are only opened when you properly identify yourself so also, when you stand at the gate of prosperity, successes, breakthroughs, etc. The spirits manning these gates are asking “who are you?” If you fail to identify properly, you will be turned back. That is why many people get close to success but never made it.
The only person that can add value to your life is Jesus. If Jesus lives in you, He becomes your identity. If you have Jesus, you have the authority to answer spirits, when they ask questions “who are you?”
Receive Jesus and you will be known physically and spiritually. As a Christian, is the identity of Jesus truly in you ? Or you are like the Sceva’s sons who are very empty impersonators.
Prayer: Lord Jesus, be in me and I in you that I may be known in Jesus name.
Insight: Make Jesus your identity.
