Knowing Your Who

My name is David Gyawu. 

I'm a Pastor, a Person of Faith, an Author, A Husband,  a Father to my wonderful biological and spiritual children and a friend.  

 In Episode 2, I talked about Your Why. 

Why is a question you ask when you want to get the understanding to a statement made or to a question.  

Asking “Why” gives you a better understanding of who you are and how things work and operate.  

Please checkout Episode 2 on my YouTube page.  

In this Episode, I will be dealing with Your Who. 

Who you are matters to God a lot.  

 Knowing your “Why” will help you navigate to know Who you are.   

As a child of God, you belong to God’s chosen family.  

1 Peter 2:9 (NLT) 

But you are not like that, for you are a chosen people. You are royal priests,[a] a holy nation, God’s very own possession. As a result, you can show others the goodness of God, for he called you out of the darkness into his wonderful light. 

It is important to know and understand who you are in Christ.  

Many people have continued to look down on themselves, have considered themselves to be inferior, I don't amount to anything which makes them think they do not have anything to offer in life and to their generation.  

Sometimes, many people look at their background, that is where they are coming from, or their status in life based on their education to identify who they are.  

 When God had as assignment for Gideon to go deliver the Israelites from the Medianites, he was found in the wine press threshing wheat.  

 Gideon was at the wrong place, doing the wrong thing at the wrong time.  

 Israel was at war and had been taken captive and out of fear and not placing any value on himself, Gideon went into hiding.  

 When the angel of the Lord appeared to him, God looked beyond his fears and called him a mighty man of valor meaning he was a hero in the sight of God.  

 Judges 6:15 (NLT) 

“But Lord,” Gideon replied, “how can I rescue Israel? My clan is the weakest in the whole tribe of Manasseh, and I am the least in my entire family!” 

 When the angel of the Lord had mentioned to Gideon that God was with him, he found and gave all kinds of excuses why he was not the right fit for God’s assignment because of where he came from, the tribe of Manasseh and being the least in his entire family.  

 God does not make us who we are based on where we come from but based on Who we are in Him.  

 1 John 4:4 (NKJV) 

You are of God, little children, and have overcome them, because He who is in you is greater than he who is in the world.  

 Jesus Christ did not allow where He was born to limit His ministry and His assignment on earth. Nazareth was place where I believe nothing good came out of.  

 John 1:46 (NKJV) 

And Nathanael said to him, “Can anything good come out of Nazareth?” Philip said to him, “Come and see.” 

 You are who you are in Christ Jesus.  

 If you will resign from giving excuses God will let you know who you are so you can Step Out and Step In to God’s giving assignment for your life.  

 This is one thing I know about God.  

He does not call the qualified who is unavailable, but He qualifies the one He calls who is available.  

 Understanding your Why will help you to navigate to know your Who. 

 Step Out Step In to know and  understand your Who in order to live a very productive and fruitful life.
