Who are you?

Last Saturday @ the Youth Service in Metro East, Ptr. Patrick (our youth pastor in

VCF - Ortigas), in line with our series break, preached about every person's identity and it was entitled "Who Am I?" I won't be blogging much of the whole sermon and might as well give out some of the key points of Ptr. Patrick.

Here's Ptr. Patrick's key points;

*Identity = Action

*Pretensions, you're allowing other people to affect/dictate your identity

*Sometimes we based our identity on our past failure or success

*It's wrong if we based our identity on our insecurities

*It takes an encounter with God to be able to know who you are

*One of our responsibilities here on earth is to lead

But one the statements that struck me the most is that even before when God created man, He already gave us the responsibility to rule or on the other hand to be a leader...

"Then God said, "Let us make man in our image, in our likeness, and let them rule over the fish of the sea and the birds of the air, over the livestock, over all the earth, [a] and over all the creatures that move along the ground."

So God created man in his own image,

in the image of God he created him;

male and female he created them." Genesis 1:26-27 (NIV)

…which brings us back on what Jesus had commissioned his apostles and on to the future generations...

"Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age." Matthew 28:19-20 (NIV)

We truly our born leaders and born to disciple thus we are born to spread the good news on to the future generation so that they may know who really God is.

Now, let me ask you this question, WHO ARE YOU?
