WHO POSSESSES YOU?

I was taking a shower and I was thinking. As I thought, I realised that God really never condemns us and I thought maybe its because He knows who He created us to be, not who we are.  He has actually created each one of us with the ability to transform the world. Not alone, but together, complimenting each other. I thought it's time to know who we really are, what part we ought to take in the transformation of the world, and start living the way God created us. In this world, we are all possessed, either by the Spirit of God, or the devil.

The devil knows the power that's in us, and goodness gracious, he is constantly making us believe we are not   who God created us to be. Scripture clearly tells us that the devil is the father of lies, and all he does, is steal, kill and destroy, and for real thats what he is doing in our lives. Using the people we trust and love, like our families, and friends, he has broken our lives and left us hopeless, with no strength and sense of belief in our capabilities.

One day I woke up, and God told me I look so much better when I smile. It took me back and I remembered the numerous times I was told there is something wrong with my smile by my friends and I stopped smiling. I was insecure, miserable, no pictures, always self cautious when around  friends, not smiling and hurting. I hated me, I hated knowing that my smile messed me up, and I never believed that I was beautiful. Gosh! I can't believe I fell for that but at some point we all do. I smile today, I am always smiling, and It's unbelievable how many people I have connected with this year because I smile. When am done perfoming, speaking , singing people actally come to tell me how I have a contagious smile, how I shine when I smile, and how I seem so much joyful when I smile. My smile means alot to me and the people around me that I don't even wonder why the devil wanted me to stop smiling.

We are more than conquerors through Christ Jesus who loved us(Romans 8:37), because He already conquered. We are winners in Jesus Christ because He already won. Stop succumbing to the devils lies because thats what we do when we are torn through rejection , hatred, greed, self-pity, lust.., am saying STOP! stop living the way you were born(in the flesh) and start living the way you were created (bornagain-through believing in Christ thus getting reconciled to God). You were created in the image of God, to live the truth of God and partake in His work of healing the world and reconciling it to Him (2 Corinthians 5:12). 

You are possessed with the Spirit of God that raised Jesus Christ from the dead, and was manifested through the apostles healing, casting out demons, prophesying e.t.c. If you believe God is the same yesterday, today and forever, and that He lives in you, why shouldn't He use you the way He uses others, or was using others or will use others? 

I just want to challenge you today to check out who possesses you and  think highly of yourselves because of He who lives in you, and He who gives you strength to do anything through Him. He who lives in you is greater than of the world. We have the potential to change the world, if we respond and act on what we believe in. We believe in a loving, almighty God , who is crazy about us and He calls us to imitate His son Jesus Christ in our everyday life. Oh yeah! and the Holy Spirit of this mighty God lives in us.
