The Branded Spirit

Apostle Grace Lubega

2 Corinthians 3:2 (KJV),Ye are our epistle written in our hearts, known and read of all men:

There is a place in the spirit realm for you to be known and read by all men.

The Bible says that you are known and read but it did not limit you on how you are read. You determine how you are read by branding your spirit.

What does it mean to brand your spirit? It is to make yourself appear to men like you ought to appear to them; to be perceived in light of the Word of God.

For example, if you believe that you are the world’s greatest in a call, or profession, people must see you as such.

How do you do this? Act like you are before you become.

Paul explains what becomes of a branded spirit when he asks; “Do we begin again to commend ourselves? or need we, as some others, epistles of commendation to you, or letters of commendation from you?” (2 Corinthians 3:1).

A branded spirit needs no “formal introduction.”

It means that you do not need anyone to first convince others regarding your true worth and value before they hear you.

When you appear for an interview, the panel will know that it is you they need for the job; when you appear for a business meeting, men will look to you as the answer to their questions; when you go to nations to preach the gospel, the people before whom you will stand will know that you have their solution.

You are a child of the spirit, your star is up, polished and radiating glory. Hallelujah!

GOLDEN NUGGET:
A branded spirit needs no formal introduction: you do not need men to first convince others regarding your true worth and value before they hear you.

PRAYER: Father, I thank you because my spirit is branded. It has the distinction of what I desire to be perceived as. Men read me as rich, wise, strong, full of grace and truth. I have commended myself to the consciences of men and need no other commendation. In Jesus’ name. Amen.
