Identity Theft

Identity theft is rampant in our times. We are warned, protected and even insured from those that steal identities. Identity theft is stealing and or living with someone elses’s details, posing to be someone you are not.

Knowing your identity is one thing, walking in the knowledge of who you are is another. Now not even knowing your identity is another level entirely though a lot of us suffer from  knowing our identity and it being stolen from us.

The enemy has been stealing our identity a long time ago, right from the garden of Eden. When one lives like he or she doesn’t know who they are, where they are from and what power they have in this life through Christ, they have lost their original identity. The devil is the originator of identity theft and when we assume what the bible doesn’t say about us, we have fallen victims to identity theft.

In the world today, we are identified by race, culture, behavious and attitudes. Even christians identify by this criteria first before anything else. I dare to say that Identity should first be categorized in Christ Jesus. We should understand who we are in Christ, what behaviours, attitudes and dispositions or beliefs should we have, what should we be known as, what identity should we flag around as a chosen nation and a royal priesthood under God.

A person who lacks knowledge of God through his word is an easy target for identity theft. He or she lives a lifestyle not described by Christ, the Messiah. They mock  the things of God by their behaviours and utterances yet expecting the “goodies” that God allocates. One who let’s his identity in Christ to be stolen from him is living in another man’s shoes, that man being the devil.
