Who Are You in Christ? Discover Your Identity and Manifest Your Superiority

Dr. Raoul Wafo opened this Sunday's message with a powerful statement: "The lack of awareness of our identity is the root of 99% of the problems we face in society." A declaration that set the tone for a teaching centered on the believer's identity.

Knowing God, a Foundation

It all starts with knowing God. Daniel already affirmed it: "the people who know their God shall be strong and do exploits." But knowing God without it transforming how we see ourselves is of no use. According to Ephesians 1:16-23, God must reveal Himself to us for us to truly know Him — and this knowledge comes through the eyes of the heart, not physical eyes. An inheritance of glory is reserved for the saints.

The prerequisite for manifesting our identity in Christ is therefore to make sure we are in Christ — not simply a church member.

Being in Christ, Concretely

We are in Christ once we have accepted Jesus as Lord and Savior (2 Corinthians 5:17). Accepting Him as Savior means recognizing our sins and opening the door to the salvation He offers us through His sacrifice on the cross. Making Him our Lord means making Him the One who directs our life from every angle, without exception — it means seeking and submitting to His will in all things, rather than our own.

This new identity must be manifested in six areas of superiority:

1. Faith in your new identity — Fully identifying by faith with the new identity God has given us, no longer seeing ourselves "as before" (Hebrews 11:6, 1 John 3:1, John 17:3).
2. Over hell and the kingdom of darkness — The believer has the authority to close doors that were harmful to their family (Matthew 16:17-19, Luke 10:19, Colossians 1:15).
3. Over condemnation and sin — Guilt, one of hell's favorite weapons, makes us vulnerable to the power of darkness (Romans 8:2, Colossians 2:14-15).
4. Over the world (1 John 5:14).
5. Over other people (Deuteronomy 28:13).
6. Over creation — the creature, animated by life, differs from creation, which is inanimate (Romans 8:19-21).

A Matter of Choice

"On earth, the person who believes becomes God's equal in power!" Dr. Wafo declared, before adding: "God sets you free, but it is up to you to walk in that freedom. The prison door may be open, yet you refuse to walk out." Walking in freedom is a choice.

Many draw near to God without having the revelation of what He wants to do in them and through them.

Dr. Wafo concluded with a call to personal responsibility: "We must not put everything on the devil. We must know how to handle certain things ourselves, relying on grace."

In Conclusion

All of this is a process of re-education, and it is not easy for anyone. But with our will, and by making an insistent, ongoing request for God's grace — as the speaker explained — we will see the process of metanoia, this mental transformation, take place in our minds.

Stand firm, my brother, my sister. I pray for you and for me, that God would grant us this revelation deeply, fully, and completely.

We're in this together 🤍
