WHO ARE YOU?

-

 


When someone asks, "Who are you?" I often find myself reflecting on the journey that has brought me to this moment. As a young person, I was taught to respond with my name and surname, but the question runs far deeper than a simple introduction. It's a query that probes the very essence of my being, a question that I've grappled with for years.


One day, I found myself alone, pondering the mysteries of life, and I asked myself, "Who am I?" The question echoed in my mind like a thunderclap, and I felt an overwhelming sense of awe. I closed my eyes, and in the stillness, I prayed for guidance. The answer that came was nothing short of breathtaking. God spoke to me in a voice that resonated deep within my soul, saying, "You are not just an ordinary child, but one of My chosen ones. I have sent you here for a specific purpose, an assignment that only you can fulfill in this world."

‭‭Jeremiah 1:5 NIV‬‬“

Before I formed you in the womb I knew you, before you were born I set you apart; I appointed you as a prophet to the nations.”


In that moment, I felt a warm, tender love enveloping my heart, like a gentle breeze on a summer's day. It was as if the very fabric of my being was being rewoven, and I was given a new perspective on life. I saw myself through the eyes of God, and it was a revelation that changed everything.


As I grew in my faith, I began to experience the supernatural in ways that I never thought possible. I encountered evil spirits that sought to harm me, but I learned to pray and trust in God's protection. There were times when I felt like I was walking through a dark valley, surrounded by the beasts of the dark kingdom, but God's presence was my shield.


The Bible became my roadmap, guiding me through the twists and turns of life. I found comfort in the stories of the prophets and the apostles, who faced persecution and hardship, yet remained steadfast in their faith. 

Isaiah 43:10 NKJV 

resonated deeply with me: "You are My witnesses," says the Lord, "And My servant whom I have chosen, That you may know and believe Me, And understand that I am He. Before Me there was no God formed, Nor shall there be after Me."


As I walked in obedience to God's call on my life, I faced attempts by the enemy to harm me. There were times when I felt like I was being pursued by the devil himself, but God's protection was always there. I survived attempts on my life, including poison, accidents, and even supernatural attacks.


In those moments, I realized that I was not alone. The Bible is full of stories of chosen ones who faced similar challenges. Jesus, Moses, and the prophets all experienced persecution and hardship, yet they remained faithful. 

Matthew 23:34 NKJV 

says, "Therefore, indeed, I send you prophets, wise men, and scribes: some of them you will kill and crucify, and some of them you will scourge in your synagogues and persecute from city to city."


The devil may try to bring the Gospel down, but his power is limited. As a child of God, I know that I am more than a conqueror through Christ. I stand firm, knowing that "Great is He that is in me than he that is in this world."

NOT AGAIN

  After finishing my grades at Shadrack F Zibi Memorial School, I told myself that I wouldn't come back to this school. I was convinced that I wouldn't set foot in those yards again. I moved from Khayakhulu, Rustenburg to Johannesburg to pursue further studies at college. Unfortunately, things didn't go as planned, and I found myself drifting through life, hitting rock bottom. My former principal invited me to speak to the learners, but due to personal issues, I couldn't make it. Later, I received a text from a friend mentioning that some students were using and selling drugs at school. This news hit me hard, given my past experiences with substance abuse and the challenges I faced overcoming them. Five years passed, and I found myself back at the principal's office, sharing my story with her. I ended up negotiating to take a stand and preach to the learners about the word of God. Seeing the learners pay attention to the Bible and accept my testimony touched my hear...

ADDICTION DOESN'T HAVE POWER OVER ME!

  I know what it feels like to be chained. To wake up and feel like your body isn’t yours, like the cravings are louder than your own thoughts. I’ve been there. Drugs had me, or so I thought. But here’s the truth I’m living now: the addiction doesn’t have power over me anymore. I put my trust in God.  “I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.” – Philippians 4:13  When you’re in it, the lie is that you’re alone. That nobody understands, that you’ve gone too far, that freedom is for other people. I believed that lie for a long time. But God doesn’t write people off. He comes into the mess, into the shame, and He calls you by name. He didn’t come for the perfect. He came for the broken.   “The Lord is near to the brokenhearted and saves the crushed in spirit.” – Psalm 34:18   Breaking free didn’t happen because I was strong enough. It happened because He is faithful. Every day I chose to pray instead of pick up. Every night I chose His word ...

NOT LIKE YOURS!

  There is one sun and one moon in this world we're living in, but we got seven continents and one hundred and ninety-five countries. All with different timezones, I usually have online bible studies with the brothers and sisters in Christ across the world. The first thing that comes into mind is to want to know what time it is on their side, in order to keep track of their schedules and also knowing the seasons. You might wanna know where I'm going with this, well, it's all about our lives as Christians. We are many and for different purposes, yet there's only one Holy Spirit and one God. As I continue my journey with God, fellowshipping around the country and being in touch with brethren around the world, God made me realize a lot that is taking place among Christians that causes divisions. We've got the group that calls others religious and some call others lukewarm, and all this because of our appearances.  But in fact, God has placed the parts in the body, ever...
