The Phaneroo Devotion: Finding Yourself In God
Apostle Grace Lubega
1 Corinthians 12:4-6 (NKJV): “There are [a]diversities of gifts, but the same Spirit. There are differences of ministries, but the same Lord. And there are diversities of activities, but it is the same God who works [b]all in all.”

When people hear the expression, “find yourself,” many immediately turn their attention to the carnal self. They seek to understand who they are in the flesh: their personality, preferences, strengths, weaknesses or natural abilities.
But there is a deeper and far greater discovery than the discovery of the natural man. It is the discovery of who you are in God.
Who, really, are you in Him?
This is one of the greatest things you will ever find, because until you find yourself in God, you cannot fully discover His purposes for your life.
The grace and anointing of God at work in you carry a unique expression. There is a special character to your unction. There is a way God manifests Himself through you that is distinct and deliberate.
For Esther, it was the courage of the Spirit for a defining moment. For Joseph, it was the interpretation of dreams and the wisdom to preserve nations. For Solomon, it was wisdom. For Paul, it was revelation through his writings.
You too must find the unique expression of God in you.
Do not allow the world or your past to define you. Yield to the Spirit of God. Allow Him to unveil these realities to you. He knows the grace you carry, the burdens He has placed upon your heart, and the divine operations assigned to your life. Hallelujah!

GOLDEN NUGGET: Do not allow the world or your past to define you. Yield to the Spirit of God. He knows the grace you carry, the burdens He has placed upon your heart, and the divine operations assigned to your life.
PRAYER: Loving Father, I thank You because my true identity is found in You. I refuse to define myself by my past or the opinions of men. By Your Spirit, reveal to me who I am in You. Open my eyes to the unique character of the grace and anointing upon my life. Teach me to yield to Your operations in me, that I may walk fully in Your purpose. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
