Our Identity in Christ

By Oluchi Victory Akachukwu

This book is a prayer guide full of scriptural affirmation of who the Lord says you are. The Lord directed me to start this book as a journey with Him four years ago and has since then led me through different phases of my life and connected me to some of His servants whom He has ordained to have a part in the outcome you now have in your hands. I encourage you to use this book as a daily weapon of discovery, prayers and confession! The more you pray, confess and declare your identity in harmony with God, faith will build in your heart and your life will begin to change as you become all God says you are!

Foreword

One of the things I know how to do by the grace of God, is navigate in the spirit realm. May I say to you that this issue of your identity in Christ is a very serious business in the heart of God.

Firstly, I want to pray for you that by the mercies of God, by the time you finish this book, your life will not remain the same in Jesus precious name! Amen!

The most important thing worthy of serious note is that all identities and inheritance are found IN HIM. Outside of Christ we are nothing and all these privileges recorded becomes out of reach to us. A man that does not know his identity in Christ Jesus will die a non-entity. If you do not know who you are in Christ, your life remains in crisis.

That is why I beseech you, if you are reading this book and you have not confessed Jesus Christ as your Lord and not just made him your Lord but also your personal saviour, do so with me right now before you continue.

Prayers: In the precious name of Jesus Christ, I pray for you that because you are now in Christ, you will not die a nonentity! You will come to fully and daily realise who you are in Christ Jesus! Amen.

"Ecclesiastes 10:5-7 There is an evil which I have seen under the sun, like an error which proceeds from the ruler: Folly is set in great dignity and in high places, and the rich sit in low places. I have seen slaves on horses, and princes walking like slaves on the earth.

Psalms 49:20 – A man who is held in honour and understands not is like the beasts that perish.

If you are poor when you are ordained to be rich, it is an error. If you are supposed to be strong and you are weak, it is an error. If you are ordained to be married and you are still single, it is an error, if God ordained for you to be a parent and you are still barren, it is an error. If you are supposed to be the first and you are still the last! It is an error! Oh my God!!

Prayer: You will lift your voice and say in the precious name of Jesus, every error existing in my life and destiny, Father! let there be a correction from henceforth.

I declare that by the mercies of God and the power of
