Meditate on In Him Scriptures

Meditate on In Him Scriptures

One of the fundamental areas of our lives,  when we give our lives to Christ is who we have become.  It is important, you meditate on the Word of God(Joshua 1:8) but focused on who you are in Christ Jesus.  This daily exercise will ensure you experience and become a sound mind.  

Who you think and know you are, goes a long way in helping you realise and living in the love of God.  

God loves you the way He loves Jesus

 

That is an important statement which the enemy of your soul will want you to dismiss but I encourage you, to believe what the Word of God says about you.  

Below is a list of scriptures(NKJV Bible) that gives you insight into what you are in Christ:

Acts 17:28

for in Him we live and move and have our being, as also some of your own poets have said, ‘For we are also His offspring.’

Romans 8:14

For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, these are sons of God.

Insights from Genesis 24:14-15 and John 17:12

1. The Premise

Life often unfolds in unexpected ways, altering our paths and shaping our destinies in ways we may not immediately recognize. The stories of Rebekah, Joseph, Mary, Moses, and even Judas Iscariot reveal a recurring theme in Scripture: the journey of becoming. Understanding who we are becoming is crucial in aligning with God’s divine plan and purpose for our lives.

2. Identifying Who You Are Becoming

Rebekah’s story is a prime example. She was living her daily life, fulfilling her roles as a daughter and sister, when she encountered Abraham’s servant. Unbeknownst to her, this meeting was a divine appointment. Her acceptance to follow the servant set her on a path to becoming Isaac’s wife and, eventually, a pivotal figure in God’s promise to Abraham. Rebekah did not initially realize the significance of her pregnancy, which carried the future of nations within her.

Similarly, Joseph’s journey from favoured son to Egyptian prime minister was fraught with hardship and uncertainty. Each trial he faced was a step toward his ultimate role as a saviour of his people. In each situation, Joseph remained faithful and diligent, though he could not foresee the full scope of his destiny.

Mary and Joseph also didn’t fully grasp their roles in the divine narrative when they found themselves expecting the Messiah. Their commitment to righteousness placed them in positions they could never have imagined.

Moses, too, underwent a profound transformation. From a prince of Egypt to a fugitive, and finally, to the leader and prophet who would deliver Israel, Moses’ life was a testament to the often unseen but divinely orchestrated journey of becoming.

Judas Iscariot, despite his close association with Jesus, failed to recognize the destructive path he was on until it was too late. His life serves as a cautionary tale about the importance of self-awareness and alignment with God’s will.

3. Enforcing Who You Are Becoming

Once you identify who you are becoming in God’s plan, it’s vital to live in accordance with that truth. John 8:31-32 and Galatians 5:16-18 emphasize the importance of continuing in God’s Word and being led by the Holy Spirit. Your daily actions should reflect the person God is shaping you to be. Whether it’s through prayer, study, or service, consistently align your life with God’s truth and purpose.

4. Changing Who You Are Becoming

If you find that your current path does not align with God’s plan, change is necessary. Acts 2:37-43 highlights the steps to realign with God’s will:

  1. Accept Jesus as Lord and Savior: Begin by acknowledging and accepting Jesus (John 1:12, Romans 10:9-11).

But as many as received Him, to them He gave the right to become children of God, to those who believe in His name

John 1:12 NKJV

That if you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead, you will be saved. 10 For with the heart one believes unto righteousness, and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation. 11 For the Scripture says, “Whoever believes on Him will not be put to shame.”

Romans 10:9-11 NKJV
  1. Study Scripture: Discover what God’s Word says about who you should become.
  2. Engage the Holy Spirit: Seek the Holy Spirit’s guidance to transform and align your life with God’s will (John 16:13-14).

Should you find that you are becoming someone who is not in line with God’s standards—whether it’s as a spouse, parent, minister, or professional—commit to the scriptural guidelines for those roles. Implement changes, and let the Holy Spirit empower you to become who you are meant to be.

5. Reflection and Prayer

It’s essential to continually evaluate and reflect on your spiritual journey. Ask God to reveal who you are becoming and to help you conform to His Word and ways.

Prayer:

  1. Lord, reveal who I am becoming to me and help me to align with Your Word and ways.
  2. Holy Spirit, guide me into all truth and help me to fulfil my divine purpose.

Embrace this journey of becoming with faith and diligence, trusting that God is at work in your life to fulfil His promises and purposes.
