The question of identity formed the core of a powerful reflection shared during a Local All-Night Service held on Friday, November 28, 2025. The message challenged believers to confront a fundamental question that shapes destiny and purpose: “Who am I?” This question, posed by God to the heart of the speaker, opened a deeper understanding of humanity’s struggle with identity and the far-reaching consequences of not knowing who we are in God.
From the beginning, Scripture affirms that human beings were created in the image and likeness of God. Yet, despite this divine truth, Adam and Eve were deceived into believing they could become like God through disobedience. This deception succeeded because they failed to fully grasp who they already were. In the same way, when people lack a clear understanding of their identity in Christ, they become vulnerable to external voices that define and limit them. Until a person becomes conscious of who they are, the enemy can influence how they live.
The message emphasised that identity is a prerequisite for responsibility and trust. God, in His wisdom, does not entrust great things to individuals who lack the capacity to steward them. What may appear as delayed answers to prayer is often an invitation to grow in maturity, understanding, and spiritual capacity. Just as a child cannot be handed the responsibility of driving a car, believers must grow into the stature required to handle the blessings they seek.
Society often labels people by their failures, background, or limitations, but Scripture presents a higher and truer definition. Humanity is so valuable to God that He pursued redemption at the cost of His own life. However, fulfilling God’s purpose begins with accepting His definition rather than the world’s distorted reflections. True identity is discovered by looking into the mirror of God’s Word.
Believers are reminded that they are children of God, already loved and accepted. They are described as the salt of the earth, called to preserve, add value, and positively influence their environment. No life is ever too late to make an impact. They are also the light of the world, appointed to bring clarity, hope, and solutions where darkness and confusion prevail. Light is not meant to be hidden but to shine boldly.
Ultimately, the question “Who am I?” finds its answer in Scripture. When believers embrace their identity as God’s children, salt, and light, they rise with confidence, walk in purpose, and become the solutions God has already ordained them to be.
