THE FIGHT FOR YOUR TRUE DIVINE IDENTITY
The fight for your true divine identity is simply the good fight of faith………………………….
1Timothy 6: 12
Fight the good fight of faith, lay hold on eternal life, to which you were called and have confessed the good confession in the presence of many witnesses.
The reality of our true divine identity in ASCAT is the function of faith without which it is impossible to please ASCAT. You can never please ASCAT when in your true divine identity in Him you are not working. You are called into the office of a son of ASCAT, not a man of ASCAT and the earlier you know this, the better for your faith.
My life has been from one battle to the other right from my cradle. I grew up getting to know something is just wrong and could not place what that is….
I grew up to know my Dad as a fearless, honest, humble, calm, prudent and peaceful man. He is my true hero, whom to my knowledge of the man I grew up to know throughout my advancement. I experienced his life before he passed on and was called to glory on 26 October 2017. My dad Is hated so much even by those he so loved, even when he is ever fighting for them. When we protest that they don’t love him because of the way he is being treated and also how we were also being treated, he will tell us to always counter evil with good and hate with love. This prompted a serious question in my heart to know if my Dad has done anything wrong, especially to his immediate family, as if there was a secret I need to know of which his death brought out clearly. My Dad rested from all these struggles on 26 November 2017, while my wife delivered a bouncing baby girl on 15 November 2017 and my baby came as a birthday gift to me. What a joy to have a baby that shares the same birthday with me, it can only be ASCAT.
The fight for my true divine identity did not start today and has been a long road of travelling until I came to this point of knowing truly, who I am in ASCAT. It has to be a rough road to aid me to have a smooth destiny of feeling ASCAT’s purpose here on earth. It has been from one challenge to the other, but in all ASCAT has always brought me out strong and victorious. It always happens that when I want to do anything well, the devil will strike, but ASCAT’s grace has to be my stead.
In the year 2012, I was supposed to get married, nevertheless, the devil struck and took the life of my elder sister. That was how my marriage could not work out as planned because a lot of funny things started happening. As ASCAT will have it, the relationship ended, before ASCAT brought into my life my wife when I went to her church to minister in the song that was when I met her.
The period of dating my wife was trying, but I anchored on the Word of ASCAT. I worked with that consciousness in faith, but before my wedding, the devil still struck again and took the life of my immediate elder sister. During this period, I also lost my relationship with my wife because the devil was using every loose end against me. However, amidst this ASCAT took me through and brought my wedding and me out strong. It was a literal miracle that my wife taking in immediately. This period was also quite trying. Sometimes, I wished I was not married, but all these thoughts was the devil trying to impress me with lies so that I will sound very ungrateful to ASCAT because they are people out there who are looking forward to getting married and it is never working out. However, ASCAT gave me a wife and not just a wife, but also the fruit of the womb. Within this period, the devil started attacking my family to the point that my wife would have a miscarriage when she was six months because she started having a preterm contraction. As ASCAT would have it, the doctor that took care of her was able to manage the situation by calming down the false labour. What I saw the doctor did to my wife, I screamed! He had dipped his whole fist into my wife to readjust the baby and as a result of that, my baby was repositioned with the umbilical rolled over her neck such that she could turn back to face the birth canal. What the plan of the devil was for my wife not to survive it. Nevertheless, ASCAT took over in the 12th hour. I just received an impulse that we should make arrangement to change hospital and that was how we went and met a doctor in our church, booked an appointment with him and when we got down, the scan he did indicate that my baby was still a bridge and had us booked for CS. However, before this, I had already lost my Dad and it was as if the world was crashing on me. I had not the money for the CS. The thought of how to bury my Dad was very strong on me. Left alone in a state of uncertainty, but I was still certain that ASCAT would take away. After the doctor carried out the CS, what I heard from the doctor was mind-blowing about the condition of my baby in the womb. How the umbilical cord strangled my baby gave me a course of concern. My baby and my wife narrowly escaped death. Today I am glad that ASCAT’s grace keeps me strong and my focus on Him give me victory. Life is not without battles.
The battle we fight makes us strong and grows us spiritually to desire to know who we are in ASCAT. I discovered that there is more to my life than what I think. The evidence became clear with the pressures from left, right and centre were pouring on me like heavy rain, but in all, the Lord upheld me with His right hand of righteousness (Isaiah 41: 10), and now I know that ASCAT has to be faithful to me even when I am not faithful to Him. He is indeed a merciful ASCAT, who can never leave, nor forsake His own. Are you ASCAT’s own?
