You are uniquely different

“Jesus answered them, is it not in your law, I said, Ye are gods? If he called them gods, unto whom the word of God came, and the scripture cannot be broken;” (John 10:34-35)

“For, behold, the darkness shall cover the earth, and gross darkness the people; but the Lord shall arise upon thee, and His glory shall be seen upon thee. And the gentiles shall come to thy light, and kings to the brightness of thy rising” (Isa 60:2-3)

Beloved, a lot of us in the church do not truly know who we are. The passages above are the true pictures of the believer in the end-time church. We completely miss it when we identify with the world in the natural and miss our place in the supernatural. You are uniquely different.

Child of God, stop thinking the way the world thinks or you will keep suffering the way they suffer. Stop fearing what they fear or you will begin to fail the way they fail (Ps 1:1-3). Whatever the situation of the economy, as long as unto you, the word of God has come (John 10:35), you will continue to be fruitful and multiply (Gen 1:28). Why? 'You are a king and a priest in Christ packaged to reign on earth'. (Rev 5:10)

Though Job was perfect, upright, feared God and eschewed evil (Job 1:1), but he didn't realize that his case was different. Since he did not understand that he was under covenant, he feared what other businessmen of his time feared (Job 3:25) and also suffered like them. While Satan saw an hedge around him and all he had, Job was totally ignorant of who he was. (Job 1:10; Ps 34:7; Heb 1:14).

No matter the position of our economy today, no matter the number of sickness and plagues unleashed in the world today by the powers of darkness, if you are born again, you are completely secured in Christ and that makes you uniquely different!
