But what truth was Jesus talking about? I want to believe that Jesus was admonishing the Jews to not only be good disciples by following Him and reading the word, but that the word of God, the gospel of Jesus Christ (I am the Word) would transform their lives and the lives of their communities, people around them.
Many time we go about living our lives not know the full potential that God has predestined in our DNA, long before we were conceived in our mothers’ wombs! The Bible records in Jeremiah 1: 5, “Before I formed you in the womb, I knew you; Before you were born I sanctified you; I ordained you a prophet to the nations,” (NKJV).
God already had structured your success, strength, ability, intellect, superiority etc in your DNA long before you were born. Before you arrived in your mothers womb, that is, when you were still in your fathers loins, a simple sperm, God had structured you for success! Amen.
So Jesus speaking to the Jews admonished them to know this very truth, but that this truth would be the vital instrument to help them change their mindset, become what they were meant to be and walk into the perfect destiny for which they were called to live.Dr. Cindy Trimm, (follow her on twitter) a renowned and powerful prolific communicator, CEO of a conglomerate of companies, a former Senator, a much sought after life strategist and empowerment specialist, revolutionary thinker and transformational leader once said, ‘Don’t live your life by trial and error. Jesus never wrote a book, never built a building, but He gave the Church, and the Kingdom, and left principles that later even Hindu Mahatma Gandhi would quote and establish his system to deliver his Indian nation from the shackles of British rule.’
Jesus knew Himself, He knew who He was and thus Jesus again expects us to know ourselves, and who we are in Him, that we are more than conquerors in Him.
And as you read this through allow me to share 12 Truths that you ought to know about yourself in order to help you live a fulfilling, deserving and powerful life on this earth, both in the physical and spiritual realms.
