Remember who you are!

Remember who you are !

A few years ago, as I was sitting at home, I watched a Walt Disney film

called ” The Lion King “. In one scene, the main character-Simba fights

through the thicket and pasted the darkness. As he stops by a pool of

water and then looks up a voice calls to him as if from the stars above,

” Simba you have forgotten who you are? Remember who you are !

Remember who you are !”

Simba was a king ! However, because of some traumatic experience in

his past, he was trying to forget this by running away. He did not want to

face up to the awesome responsibilities of his calling and did not want to

go back because of what other people may think of him. He never

imagined that he would be given another chance.

My friend I see this happening all the time in Christian circles. People who

are called to do something, often stay away, all because of something that

has happened in the past. This always seems to do with unforgiveness.

I have to ask this question; Why is it that God can forgive and restore, yet

some people can`t? I remember reading this statement from an American

man in Georgia who said to John Wesley, “I never forgive.” and Wesley

said to him, `I hope you never sin.`

The enemy takes great delight when people are put to one side. It just means

another soldier in the army of the Lord is down. But my friend my I

encourage you to remember who you are.

It was not man that called you to serve, but God!

It was not man that set you apart for His Kingdom, but God

It was not man that made you a king to reign, but God.

Remember who you are!

It maybe hard to fight through the thicket of  the dark times, but as we

do so and turn to God, we find His forgiveness, His restoration.

You are called of God, the Bible says in Romans 11:29 (NIV) ” for

God’s gifts and his call are irrevocable “.

Remember who you are, in God. You are a child of God, saved, washed

and set apart for God.

The Bible says this in 1 Peter 1 v 18 to 19 ”  For you know that it was not

with perishable things such as silver or gold that you were redeemed from

the empty way of life handed down to you from your forefathers, but with

the precious blood of Christ, a lamb without blemish or defect.”
Remember who you are!

Remember what you have been saved from.

Remember that you`re living for a purpose.

God is a God of restoration, you`re a king in Christ Jesus.

Look to the heavens and hear those words being spoken to you today,

” Remember who you are”

Its time for you to take up the baton once more, and go for God with

all you have.

Remember who you are!

God bless you my friend, Matthew.
