Identity

Success simply means that Christ Jesus is with you. It's not easy to embrace simplicity, especially when we look at the numerous definitions the world has about success. Those definitions are consciously determined to distract us, therefore, we end up carrying out activities that bring wasted days.  It's very hard to grow as an individual and waste your day at the same time. You can take that to the bank and ask for 153% interest on it. 

Most of us are busy heading to the wrong direction. We do good deeds along the way, not knowing that we have perished due to lack of knowledge. Did you know that not everything good is the right thing? Unfortunately, we don't know that we don't know. 

We subconsciously reject hesed-wisdom because we have been programmed to view distractions as the bigger picture. Those definitions from the world become our big picture, forcing us to embark on an infinite journey that leads to endless illusions. So, we end up becoming poor people with lots of assets, or ignorant folks with lots of academic accolades, or sick individuals with state-of-the-art nutrition, or lonely humans with lots of sexual partners, or powerful lions that choose bondage over freedom, or believers that submit to that which is untrue, or both. 

Elohim [true God] looks at the earth and sees Jews, Gentiles and the Church. The Church refers to individuals who believe in Jesus Christ Crucified. The world is made up of both Jews and Gentiles that don't believe in Jesus Christ Crucified. 

The Church is the bride of Christ Jesus. If you are part of the Church, I want you to know that the bridegroom rejoices over you with gladness. Therefore, it is evident that the dead cannot rejoice. You need to continually remember this: Christ Jesus has risen. He wants you to continually look at Him. Christ Jesus is invisible; faith sees the invisible. Focusing on Christ Jesus is the only way to make each day count. 

Grace and Truth *sets* us free from distractions. It's impossible to separate Truth from Grace. It's like sun and light. You cannot separate light from the sun, therefore, Grace and Truth *is* inseparable. 

When you continually keep your eyes on Jesus Christ Crucified, you'll notice that there is no way to the Truth. Truth is the way. We don't know that we have a gigantic problem since we have been subconsciously programmed to hold on tight to these distractions and never let go. The following Bible verse clearly shows that Christ Jesus is the only solution we need: 

John 14:6 RSV

Jesus said to him, "I am the Way, and the Truth, and the Life; no one comes to the Father, but by me." 

Elohim places a tremendous value upon our souls, but a lot of people make the mistake of valuing their souls so lightly. You know what they say, "First look for lots of money, then you'll get power, and women will come in abundance." It's heartbreaking to see individuals among ourselves exchanging their souls for fame, or pleasure, or glory, or pride, or both. 

We have forgotten who we really are. Our true identity has been stolen. Who will restore what the enemy took by robbery?
