Our identity is often shaped by what happens to us and around us, but that is the opinion of the world, not God’s opinion.

Let us declare and establish our Identity in Christ according to:

Jos 1:5 ‘No man shall be able to stand before you all the days of your life; as I was with Moses, so I will be with you. I will not leave you nor forsake you.’ (NKJV)

The same promise of last week is repeated here to Joshua. God will be with him. Likewise, God is still with His children today. Thank You, Father, for being with me, for living in me and protecting me!

Ons identiteit word dikwels gevorm deur dit wat met ons en om ons gebeur, maar dit is die wêreld se mening, nie God se mening nie.

Kom ons verklaar en bevestig ons ID in Christus volgens:

Deut31:8 ‘Moenie bang of mismoedig wees nie, want die Here is die Een wat voor jou uitgaan. Hy sal jou nie in die steek laat nie en jou nie verlaat nie.” ‘ (NLV)

Dankie Vader, U gee om! U sal my nooit verlaat nie, U gaan voor my uit en U lei my! Ek het U Gees (Heilige Gees) in my.

Dankie, Vader dat U my Herder is, dat U my goed versorg.

Ons identiteit word dikwels gevorm deur dit wat met ons en om ons gebeur, maar dit is die wêreld se mening, nie God se mening nie.

Kom ons verklaar en bevestig ons ID in Christus volgens:

Ps139:15,16 ‘My bene was vir U sigbaar toe ek stilletjies gevorm is in die moederskoot. U het my gesien voor ek gebore is. In U boek is alles opgeteken: elke dag is bepaal voordat een van hulle daar was.’ (NLV)

Toe ek gevorm is Vader, was ek reeds beplan, reeds deel van U plan! My dae was vasgelê, reeds voor die wêreld gemaak is. (Ef1:4) Dankie Vader, dat ek so wonderlik en uniek geskape is, dat U ‘n plan vir my het!

NS: God het alles goed beplan. Hy het die mens mag op aarde gegee, wat beteken ons kan keuses maak en besluite neem. Ek het ‘n keuse of ek God se plan vir my wil volg. Ons lewens word beïnvloed deur die gevalle wêreld waarin ons leef, omdat die mens die mag aan die duiwel gegee het. Jesus het egter gekom om die losprys te betaal namens ons en die mag (heerskappy) terug te neem.

Our identity is often shaped by what happens to us and around us, but that is the opinion of the world, not God’s opinion.

Let us declare and establish our Identity in Christ according to:

Psa139:15,16 ‘ You watched me as I was being formed in utter seclusion, as I was woven together in the dark of the womb. You saw me before I was born. Every day of my life was recorded in Your book. Every moment was laid out before a single day had passed.'(NLT)

When I was formed, Father, I was already planned, already, part of Your plan! My days were written down, even before the world was made. (Eph 1: 4) Thank You, Father, that I was created so wonderful and unique, that You have a plan for me!

PS: God planned everything well. He gave man the power on earth, which means we can make choices and decisions. I have a choice whether I want to follow God’s plan for me. Our lives are affected by the fallen world in which we live because man has given power over to the devil. However, Jesus came to pay the ransom on our behalf and to take back the power (dominion, authority).

Kom ons verklaar en bevestig ons ID in Christus volgens:

Ps139:13-14 ‘U self het my diepste wese gemaak my in die moederskoot gevorm. Ek loof U omdat U my so besonder wonderlik gemaak het. U werke is so wonderbaar, ek weet dit alte goed!’ (NLV)

Vader, U werke is waarlik wonderlik en ek is die wonderlikste van U skepping! Dankie dat U mý so spesiaal en wonderlik gemaak het in liefde.
