Who are you?

"We can never know who or what we are till we know at least something of what God is. For this reason the self-existence of God is not a wisp of dry doctrine, academic and remote; it is in fact as near as our breath and as practical as the latest surgical technique." A.W. Tozer


The second week of teaching (SOW) was a combined week with the DTS in Ruurikkala (West Finland). We also did a 24-hour prayer with them and it was very encouraging to see what’s on God’s heart for Finland, and a few things we prayed for were: healing and restoration in the families and marriages that are falling apart; speaking truth into the lives of the Finnish people, especially the church – to be secured in their identity and know their destiny & calling; prayed against the spirit of passivity, that they´d be proactive and not just watch whoever is up in front during church gatherings.

an activity we did where we ask God how He sees us and we'd illustrate it using the playdough

A few things that really stood out which I wanted to share from the week´s teaching (Identity in Christ and Destiny by DESIGN):


+ To know your identity is to know your God.
+ I am created to be a Lover of God and from that intimate relationship, I am able to love myself and others.
+ If I don´t know God delights in me, I´d end up being a worker. A lover always outworks a worker.
+ We cannot successfully walk the WHAT if we don´t know the WHO!
+ When we focus too much on our lack, the Heavenly Father tries to change the subject to something that will lead us to the Source and foundation of Faith: HIMSELF.
+ Lastly, the noble call always reveals the nobility of the CALLER.


This week wasn´t the greatest for a few of us in terms of physical health but at the same time, I was so encouraged to see how much God could use me still even, rather especially when I think I´m weak, and then God tells me to go and pray for someone. And I was like, “what can I give? Am so tired and don´t know if I could even get something for that person, but ok Lord, I will obey You because You said so.” It was freeing to think that all I have to do is obey and God does the work in and through me. I was reminded by this quote from a book am reading (by Bill Johnson), “Obedience against a popular opinion will often reintroduce someone to personal faith. And that´s a faith that goes against understanding.” Cool isn´t it?
