The Phaneroo Devotion: The Reality Of Our Identity – 1
Apostle Grace Lubega
1 Corinthians 13:12 (AMP): “For now [in this time of imperfection] we see in a mirror dimly [a blurred reflection, a riddle, an enigma], but then [when the time of perfection comes we will see reality] face to face. Now I know in part [just in fragments], but then I will know fully, just as I have been fully known [by God].”

We live in a generation struggling with a crisis of identity. This crisis has also found its way into the Body of Christ. Many believers do not truly know who they are.
Most drift through life allowing the opinions of men, circumstances, and society to define them. Very few pause to ask themselves, “Who am I?”
Today, I pose this question to you: Who are you, child of God?
This is not about what others have said about you or even what you think of yourself. The real question is: who are you in the eyes of God?
Moreover, this question should not be answered from a merely generic perspective, such as, “I am a child of God.” It must be narrowed down to the individual and granular essence of your uniqueness.
Our theme scripture reveals that the believer is fully known by God. The Lord knows the A to Z of your existence, even down to the subatomic particles of your essence.
You are fully known.
The only way you can accurately know yourself is to know the God who fully knows you. Any journey of self-discovery that removes God from the equation is bound to be fruitless or, at best, only partial in its discovery of your true essence and distinction. It is only in getting to know God that you begin to see who you truly are. The more you know Him, the more you know yourself.

GODLEN NUGGET: It is only in getting to know God that you begin to see who you truly are. The more you know Him, the more you know yourself.
PRAYER: Father, I thank You for this word. What a blessed assurance to be fully known by You. You know the beginning and the end of my life, the depths of my spirit, and the uniqueness of my purpose. You teach me to see myself through Your eyes and not through the limitations of experience or the pressures of society. As I grow in the knowledge of You, You establish me in my identity, my distinction, and my purpose. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
