WHO DO PEOPLE KNOW YOU TO BE?

SCRIPTURE: And Elijah the Tishbite, who was of the inhabitants of Gilead, said unto Ahab, As the Lord God of Israel liveth, before whom I stand, there shall not be dew nor rain these years, but according to my word. 1 Kings 17:1.

THOUGHT FOR THE DAY: If the people around your life do not know who you are, then you are not who you say you are.

It has been established that dedication to God is key to greatness in life. You cannot be little in life if you are brutally dedicated to God.

Now, what is dedication?
It is living as a representative of God and His Kingdom to your generation. Existing as the visible representative of the invisible God to your generation. Dedication is an unashamed public identification with the cause of God in the earth.

1 Kings 17:1 says,
And Elijah the Tishbite, who was of the inhabitants of Gilead, said unto Ahab, As the Lord God of Israel liveth, before whom I stand, there shall not be dew nor rain these years, but according to my word.

You see, if the people around your life do not know who you are, then you are not who you say you are.

I remember when I was in 200 Level as a student of medicine in the university, everyone knew my stand for God and for His Kingdom.

One day, we were in the anatomy laboratory for a study. While we were there, a classmate of mine, a young lady wanted to say, perhaps something unholy or indecent, and then quickly looked at me and said, “Oh! Sorry. I didn’t know you were here.”

What she wanted to say may not necessarily be sinful, but she knew the person around her and his stand for God, and so, there was no need to talk carelessly around him.

Beloved, the question is, what can the people around you say of your dedication to God?

Remember this: If the people around your life do not know who you are, then you are not who you say you are.

ASSIGNMENTS:

  1. Ask yourself: Do people know me to have a solid stand for God and His Kingdom?
  2. Make up your mind to stand unashamedly for God in your generation.

PRAYER: Lord, I ask for the grace to stand unashamedly for You. Deliver me from the lifestyle of compromise, Lord, in Jesus’ Name.
