Stand therefore, having your loins girt about with truth and having on the breastplate of righteousness.
The most frustrated people in the world are those who have either lost their identity or failed to know their worth. In fact a research from some professional doctors or psychologist suggest that some people become mad after a complete loss of their center. They add on that whatever organizing principle that holds all the different threads of your personality together no longer coheres. Because your center collapses, you have no way to make your experience cohere and everything stops making sense and that, the person's sense of self literally fragments.
This is very important for everyone to know who they are. Knowing who you are builds the complete you.
Remember, Apostle Paul says before in verse 11 to put on the whole armor of God that ye may be able to stand against the whiles of the devil. He continues to explain the kind of enemy we are dealing with who is not in the flesh or blood but is playing around in our minds to weaken, confuse, divert and destruct us from anything we might know about our life.
Therefore, knowing who you are, the truth about you is the power which girts our loins together and keep our life running towards our destine.
Knowing yourself is a process which require time for yourself. We all know the kind of job our ancient fathers Abraham, Isaac, Jacob and their seeds did which was shepherding, this would get them precious time to meditate on their life which always improved their life and the sense of listening to God than others. To take a self study about your self will, potential, ability and goodness will improve you and develop the real you created after God. Every good thing come from God and you are one of them. So that is a better foundation to start with.
If your life isn't going in the direction you want to, then that is a clear sign to tell you that you still don't know yourself very well.
Ways to self recovery
- Get to see yourself in the eyes of God (What and how God think about you). I have read this morning a verse in John 16:26-27, At that day ye shall ask in my name: and I say not unto you, that I will pray the Father for you: For the Father himself loves you, because ye have loved me, and have believed that I came out from God.
- Boost your self-esteem. This is very important especially when you have done the first step of getting to see yourself in the eyes of God.
- If it doesn't serve you, get rid of it. This includes people, places, your hobbies and your habits. One of the hardest thing is to get rid of them, but if they don't improve you, let them go, the best is yet to come, it is in the future you're about to create, finding people who adds value on you. Don't be like a goat being forced to go where it is to find pasture. I believe you're smart enough
We have learned too much from the world that we live and rely to much according to the world system which serves as a diversion of the truth that God wants to communicate to us. My brethren, one of my friends told me once of how he rebuked our friend to go and get a life. Was he dead? No but was in a position that he never liked to serve from and was always complaining about its system but could quit it. So my dear friends, I will argue you to go and get a life that was created for you by standing therefore, having your loins girt about with truth and having on the breastplate of righteousness.
