You are like God to your Pharaoh


Exodus 7:1 And the Lord said to Moses, “See I have made you like God to Pharaoh, and your brother Aaron shall be your prophet.”

Who are we? I mean we who have saved by the blood of Jesus Christ.

Knowing who we are will give us energy to live as who we are. In the bible its mentioned about Moses that God make him like God to Pharaoh. 

As a child of God redeemed by the blood of His begotten Son Jesus Christ, we are called to be like God on devil. The only thing that devil doing is distorting the truth so that we think that he still has power on us.  The very simple truth is he has defeated on Calvary some 2000 years ago. That is the deal. His only power is lying as in John 8 says, “he is a liar and the father of lies.”

How far do you know who you are in Christ? How far are you using your authority over this world? How far does your faith will take you? That is why Jesus told to the disciples in Luke 8:25 “Where is your faith?” In other part of the scripture Jesus said “Because of your little faith. For truly, I say to you, if you have faith like a grain of mustered seed, you will say to this mountain, ‘Move from here to there,’ and it will move, and nothing will be impossible for you.”

Do you really know who you are in Christ? We have to have faith in who we are in Christ. We are not just ordinary people after we have save by the blood of Jesus. We have an authority on devil. Knowing that and believing who gave us that authority is vital in our day-to-day life. Luke 9:1 says, “When Jesus had called the Twelve together, he gave them power and authority to drive out all demons and to cure diseases, and he sent them out to proclaim the kingdom of God and to heal the sick.”

To know who we are, we should come to the understanding of who we are by renewing our mind. Romans 12:2 says “Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God’s will is—his good, pleasing and perfect will.” An interesting read on scripture is present in Romans 8:1-17. The last verses proclaim this, “The Spirit himself testifies with our spirit that we are God’s children. Now if we are children, then we are heirs—heirs of God and co-heirs with Christ, if indeed we share in his sufferings in order that we may also share in his glory.”
 When you look yourself through Jesus Christ, in Colossians 2:10 it says, "And you are in Him, made full and having come to fullness of life [in Christ you too are filled with the Godhead—Father, Son and Holy Spirit—and reach full spiritual stature]. And He is the Head of all rule and authority [of every angelic principality and power].

Who are we in Christ?
1.     We are free from the law of sin and death: Romans 8:2
2.     We are far from oppression, and fear does not come near us: Isaiah 54:14
3.     We are born of God, and the evil one does not touch us: 1 John 5:18
4.     We are holy and without blame before Him in love: Ephesians 1:4; 1 Peter 1:16
5.   We have the Greater One living in us; greater is He Who is in us than he who is in the world: 1 John 4:4
6.     We are God’s workmanship, created in Christ unto good works: Ephesians 2:10
7.     We are more than a conqueror through Him Who loves us: Romans 8:37
8.     We are overcomers by the blood of the Lamb and the word of our testimony: Revelation 12:11
9.     We are partakers of His divine nature: 2 Peter 1:3-4
10. We are ambassadors for Christ: 2 Corinthians 5:20
11. We are part of a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a purchased people: 1 Peter 2:9
12. For God has not given us a spirit of fear; but of power, love, and a sound mind: 2 Timothy 1:7
13. We are redeemed from the curse of sin, sickness, and poverty: Deuteronomy 28:15-68; Galatians 3:13
14. We are the temple of the Holy Spirit; We are not our own: 1 Corinthians 6:19

When God spoke to Moses at mount Herob (the mountain of God) in Exodus 3, and asked him to go to Pharaoh Moses said in Exodus 3:11 “Who am I that I should go to Pharaoh and bring the Israelites out of Egypt?” On the next verse God told to Moses, “I will be with you. And this will be the sign to you that it is I who have sent you: When you have brought the people out of Egypt, you will worship God on this mountain.” It is because of God’s presence that Moses became like God to Pharaoh.

And it is because of Christ who lives in us we become who we are that listed above. Even more God spoke to Moses in Exodus 7:1 that He made him like God to Pharaoh. God make us like God to our Pharaoh just because what Christ did for us at Calvary so let us not allow our enemy to tell us the opposite.
