Who Am I to You? [Thursday, November 20] by Brenda K. “Know that I love you uniquely, says the Lord. You are distinct from others and I enjoy hearing revelation that comes up from within your own heart, communicated in your own words. And even as you speak of Me this way, so shall divine revelation continually increase upon you.” Prophetic Scripture: He saith unto them, But whom say ye that I am? (Matthew 16:15) We have often heard the saying, “Be a voice, not an echo.” This simply means to be a person who imparts fresh information and doesn’t just repeat what was heard from someone else. While there is nothing wrong with repeating or sharing things you receive from others, there still needs to be the dynamic in your life where revelation is personally received from your own walk with God. When Jesus asked His disciples who people thought He was in Matthew 16, many of them gave answers. They could all easily chime in and repeat what they heard the public say about Jesus. It wasn’t until He narrowed the question by saying, “But who do you say I am?” that it got quieter. He asked the question to all of them, but instead of getting multiple responses this time, only Peter answered by saying He was the Christ. We cannot live only on revelation from others or what we hear them say about Jesus. We need to obtain revelation for ourselves as we pursue the Lord. God wants to feel the affection we have for Him as we dig for our own unique nuggets of revelation. Jesus asks all of us, “Who am I to you?” Let Him have the pleasure of hearing it from your heart and no one else’s today. Prayer: Lord, I ask You to give me my own personal revelation of You that is deeper than what I have known thus far. While I welcome helpful impartation from others, help me learn of You in the unique way that is personal between You and me. Amen.
