Lesson # 4

You need to discover who you are before you venture into a relationship.

If you are struggling with self identity, you need to be sorted out before you enter into a relationship.
Who are you?
There’s no one that can know the use of a product more than the manufacturer. So also a man or a woman can not fully comprehend who he or she is unless they consult God. Everyone is made in the image and likeness of God. No one is a product of an accident. God has a plan for all His creatures. Jeremiah 1:5 (AMP) says “Before I formed you in the womb I knew you [and approved of you as My chosen instrument], And before you were born I consecrated you [to Myself as My own]; I have appointed you as a prophet to the nations.” As God knew Jeremiah before he was conceived and has set him apart to be a prophet so also God knew you before you were conceived. There’s a purpose why God made you. As a microscope reveals what naked eye cannot see so also God reveals to His own what human wisdom cannot comprehend.
Do you know your purpose in life? If your answer is no, you need to consult God. First and foremost, you need to have a relationship with Him.

How can I have a relationship with God?
1.Confess your sins to God. Romans 3:10, 23; 5:12
2.Ask that the blood of Jesus will cleanse you from all your sins. Hebrew 9:22, 1John 1:7-9.
3.Ask Jesus to come and reign in your life.
4.Forgive yourself and move on.
Therefore if anyone is in Christ [that is, grafted in, joined to Him by faith in Him as Savior], he is a new creature [reborn and renewed by the Holy Spirit]; the old things [the previous moral and spiritual condition] have passed away. Behold, new things have come [because spiritual awakening brings a new life].
2 Corinthians 5:17 AMP
5.Read your Bible and pray everyday.
6.Pray that God will lead you to a Bible believing church and fellowship with them.

Prayer
Lord Jesus, I come to you today; save me and I shall be saved. Heal me and I shall be healed. Forgive me of all my sins (confess them). Have mercy on me. Come and be the Lord over my spirit, soul and body. Help me not to go back to my old way of life – give me a new beginning. I am yours Lord! In Jesus name I pray. Amen
