Who is a Christian ?

“… And the disciples were called Christians first in Antioch.” 
Acts 11:26(KJV)        

Today I want to explain to you what it means to be a Christian. Firstly, a Christian refers to someone who have lost his identity in Jesus Christ. See Galatians 3:27. This was what made those who saw the disciples in Antioch call them Christians. The lives of the disciples manifested the identity of Jesus Christ.

The word Christian is also from the Greek word ‘Christianos’ which is generally been translated as the follower of Christ, but Christianos also means, “someone that is joined to the anointed One and His anointing.”

For instance when I got married to my wife Valerie, she got married to everything that I will ever be, that means that she has access to all that I will ever be and all that I am. In the same way, when you got born again and became joined to Jesus Christ, you received access to all that He is and all that He has. See 1 Corinthians 3:21-23, 2 Corinthians 11:2.

Therefore a Christian is someone who has taken part in an anointed union with Jesus Christ. So if you are a Christian, the same anointing that is flowing through Jesus is flowing in you now. See John 15:5.This means that the same anointing that Jesus walked in has been made available to you to enable you  to do the same works that Jesus did today. Do you believe this?

This is why the Bible says to us in I John 4:17, “Herein is our love made perfect, that we may have boldness in the day of judgment: because as he is, so are we in this world.” Therefore I encourage you not to limit yourself as a Christian. You are extraordinary in every sense of the word because you have access to all the power of God to be able to live just like Christ in this world today.        

PRAYER
Dear Father I thank you because Christ is formed in me today in Jesus Name. Amen.
