You are... who?

Is it not so amazing to see the end of another month? The year just keeps going by with or without our permission ... right! Well, remember 2nd Peter 3 vs 8 - 'But do not forget this one thing, dear friends: With the Lord a day is like a thousand years, and a thousand years are like a day. ' (NIV) I didn't realize this scripture is of 2 parts, one day equals 1000 years, and 1000 years equals 1 day, hmmm, I seek understanding.

Anyways, the month of May was loaded with quite baffling but revealing questions, which I believe the Lord wanted me to see in His light and also gain wisdom at this stage of my life. One striking one -  someone had asked me over a casual chat at a coffee shop, '... Deju, who are you after all said.' If you remember my last post from May 2nd (sad that I did not publish anything since then, I will get better), I had mentioned how I was raised by a community of siblings and family but my parents, how I took ideas from here and there and didn't have to do so much thinking for myself, at the time. For one second the question took me off my feet and did not exactly know how to respond, suddenly I started speaking and everything I said centered around JESUS, how I desire to be like Jesus, following His footsteps daily and wanting to actually act like Him, how I want to take decisions without first praying or exercising the authority I already have in God,... blah blah blah! Wow! that was a big one and it sure comes with loads of responsibilities. I was the one that spoke, but I was also preaching to myself by the Spirit of God and I am still blessed by that self-sermon, believe me.

Maybe you too can actually ask yourself same, again, who am I? Who or what am I becoming? It doesn't matter what the world calls us or what people perceive us to be, who are you really. Look into the mirror, define yourself to you, pray for you, prophesy to you, just like 2nd Corinthians 3 vs 18 says, 'But we all, with open face beholding as in a glass the glory of the Lord, are changed into the same image from glory to glory, even as by the Spirit of the Lord (KJV).

As I leave you to ponder on this, I am excited to let you know, according to Galatians 2 vs 20, that 'I have been crucified with Christ; it is no longer I who live, but Christ lives in me; and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave Himself for me.' Praise God! You too can daily see yourself in this light.

Peace!
