from whom the whole family in heaven and earth is named,
Ephesians 3:15 NKJV

Paul said that he bowed his knees with such gratitude to know that he did not exist just when he is born of earthly parents but his identity comes from His Father in heaven.

This is not something Paul took lightly. Instead, his life is established in the truth that what Christ has established is his new identity.

Paul's revelation comes from this perspective, seeing everything from the eternal perspective, divine and born of the spirit that he has become a child of the living God.

The name speaks of identity. We are named by God which our Father holds our name, carved in the palm of His hand. God who is eternal and changes not have carved us in the palm of His hand.

This is so rich and so much to take in from what Paul stated here. The abundance of God our Father is so big and there is so much God has stored up for His children.

It is up to us to know Him and know what He has established for us. So that we can live in His fullness and not miss out on the best God has set for us.

We need to see beyond the natural, earthly and daily activities and begin to function from our divine nature that God has given to us.

Exercise our spiritual gifts, walk in our spiritual identity and flow through all that Christ has placed in us.

Let us be conscious of our new identity and live in the abundance of God.

Live in the blessings,

I will plant them in their land, And no longer shall they be pulled up From the land I have given them,” Says the Lord your God.
Amos 9:15 NKJV

Israel has gone through terrible times because of their disobedience, refusing to follow the way of blessings that the Lord had provided.

They have turned everything and their doings are like a performance of
self-gaining, prideful, and lost their identity as people of God.

But in the end, the prophet Amos receives a word of restoration for Israel, and their redemption is announced.

Just as Israel will be restored to its identity and never be pulled out again. We too who are the spiritual house of God shall remain and be built in God.

In Christ, we have a better place, a better identity and it will not pass away. We have received eternal life, great and precious promises given to cut through every plot of the enemy.

This is our day that the Lord has made.
This is our time to shine His glory and power. For we live in the glorious power of Christ every day.

We no longer step in and out of the presence of God like in the old covenant. We live in His presence at all times. For God has made us His dwelling place.

We need to be conscious of who we carry inside of us, the power that is within us and His word to be released in the world.

We have been appointed by God as His, as His hands and His feet. Let us go with confidence and be the light that God has sent to the world.

Live in the blessings,
Ps Ambrose
