In most cases when Paul, the apostle, wrote letters to churches, he would include his identity as an apostle as part of the introduction. Identity is very important in determining your cause of action. While the world is said to be having about 6 billion people, we have been assured that each person is unique with unique fingerprints. As we are all humans, there are many things we do together with others, yet there are still those things we need to do as individuals.
Your identity, uniqueness, and God’s call give you the authority to work with your strength and do things in a certain way. Don’t compete and compare yourself with those around you. You are unique and you have been called for certain assignments. You need to stand against anything that tries to block you from fulfilling your assignment. You are who you are because God called you.
See what the scripture says in
Galatians 1:1-5 ESV (1) “Paul, an apostle—not from men nor through man, but through Jesus Christ and God the Father, who raised him from the dead— (2) and all the brothers who are with me, To the churches of Galatia: (3) Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ, (4) who gave himself for our sins to deliver us from the present evil age, according to the will of our God and Father, (5) to whom be the glory forever and ever. Amen.”
*Know yourself and stand your ground*.
