WEEK 2:

DISCOVERING WHO I AM IN CHRIST

Affirm your biblical identity as a beloved child, breaking lies and embracing transforming truth.

DAY 8 - 1/18/26

My Identity: I Am Original

Genesis 1:26–27 (NBLA)
And God said, “Let Us make man in Our image, according to Our likeness; and let them rule…” God created man in His own image, in the image of God He created him; male and female He created them.

Imagine this: Some time ago, during a family vacation, we were enjoying the pool the warm water and the sun gently touching our skin. There weren’t many people around when suddenly someone came up to me and asked if I had worked as a stunt double in a Sylvester Stallone movie. I burst out laughing. Me? Neither the muscles nor the profile for that. What did they see in me? It was a funny moment, but it made me reflect.

In a world saturated with copies fake watches, imitation clothing, viral trends it’s easy to feel like cheap replicas. We copy influencer styles, celebrity personalities, or other people’s successes, trying to fit in. But the Bible shouts a liberating truth: you and I are original, unique, created in the image and likeness of God. We are not clones; we are divine designs, shaped with eternal purpose.

This time of fasting and prayer is ideal for removing masks. Forget human opinions those that hurt or flatter. Listen to God’s voice: we were formed in the image of Jesus Christ, the perfect original.

Colossians 1:15 (NBLA)
He is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of all creation.

The Word does not lie: you are not a mistake or a beta version. You are loved, valuable, with an unrepeatable calling. Discover who you are in Him, not in the echo of the crowd.

Prayer of the Day
Heavenly Father, thank You for creating me original, in Your image. Help me reject the world’s copies and embrace Your truth over my life. Strengthen my faith to declare who I am in Jesus. Amen.

Action of the Day
Take a moment alone. Write and declare out loud three specific truths about your identity based on Scripture (e.g., “I am a beloved child of God,” “I am strong in Christ,” “I am light in the darkness”). Repeat them with conviction. Let them resonate in your spirit!
