INSPIRE Devotionals With Emmanuel Afiawari Monday, June 1, 2026 Topic: SELF DEFINITION (Part 2)! Memory Verse: ‭‭"‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭And God said unto Moses, I AM THAT I AM: and he said, Thus shalt thou say unto the children of Israel, I AM hath sent me unto you" - Exodus 3:14 KJV‬ Bible Text: ‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭ ‭John 8:12 KJV‬ 12. ‭‭Then spake Jesus again unto them, saying, I am the light of the world: he that followeth me shall not walk in darkness, but shall have the light of life. INSPIRATION: Inability to define who you are leaves you in a confused state where anything goes. You'd not be firm on your resolve, neither would you be able to set healthy boundaries and systems around which your life is woven. This could make you vulnerable and accessible to everyone and everything. The earlier you realise you're not here by accident, the sooner discovering your purpouse is taken more seriously. Else, abuse is inevitable.  Your identity is tied to your purpose. When Peter rightly defined who Jesus is, Jesus affirmed His identity as Christ! Purpose is deeper than passion; it is the original intent of a thing. Have you figured out why you were created? We come into life or office for a purpose and the pursuit of it weaves an identity around us. Repeatedly, Jesus would say He came for a purpose. His defined purpose defined His identity. What has your purpose done for you?  TODAY'S TAKE HOME: ‭‭If you fail to define whom you are and set your standards and boundaries, others would and may rubbish you in the process. PRAYER: Dear Lord, please bring me into full consciousness of my real identity so I can lead a purposeful and determined life. May I not waste valuable time in pursuit of vanity at the expense of what's important. Guide me to choose and to do that which is needful at all times, in Jesus name.
