Your mind
“The Real you”
The bible tells you that God created you in His own Image
and likeness in the book of Genesis 1: 26-27, now you need to understand who
you are, your true identity and where you originate from (originate –
originally from). You need to know who your source is, like the bible tells you
in the book of Genesis 1:25 Then God said “Let us make man in our own image, in our likeness, and let them
rule over all the fish of the sea and the birds of the air, over the livestock,
over all the earth, and over all the creatures that move along the ground.”
This gives you a clear brief or understanding that you are a product of God and
that your purpose is in God.
You did not create yourself therefore you can’t tell
yourself what your purpose is. If I were to present to you an invention you
haven’t seen before, would you know how to operate it? Would you know its
purpose? I guess your answer is a big No! You would need the inventor to tell
the purpose of his invention and how to operate it or a user’s manual
authorised by the inventor. You are an invention of God, God is your inventor,
and the bible is your manual it describes who you are and what your abilities
are and who your source is.
A plant has a source (soil and water) if it doesn’t stick to
its source it will die, you also have a source which is God your creator, whom
you must stick to, to survive, to live abundantly, to live to your fullest
ability. Now you need to understand that when you don’t stick to your source
you malfunction, you don’t function to your fullest abilities, (the source for
a car is petrol, if you take water and pour it in petrol tank of a car,
everything will seem okay for some few minutes, when you start running the
engine it will run and the car will move, you will drive a mile or two because
the car will be using the petrol that was remaining before you poured water in
it, but after few minutes in the middle of the road it will start to malfunction because you did
not put petrol in it which is its source) and when the car start to malfunction it will need the authorised
dealer, (if the malfunctioning car is an Audi you will have to take it to an
authorised Audi dealer) to fix it.
But if you take the car to any dealer it will be okay for a
while but soon it will start malfunctioning again that’s why it is important to
take it to an authorised dealer,” God is your authorised dealer.”
God wants you to return to him to discover who you really
are in him; he wants to restore you, to renew you, to make you a new product
again like you were before when he created you, when he invented you. He loves
you, his love for you never changes, and He cares about you. It is all in you
to accept his offer, you don’t need to pay any price because the Lord Jesus
Christ paid the price for you on the cross, all you need to do is to come to
Him and acknowledge him as your Lord and Savior, (Romans 10:9-11) and give
your life to him, take this time and return to him for he is your creator, your
inventor, your source, your authorised dealer, and only in him you can discover
your purpose, he is your everything, he is your God.
