Foreword

One of the biggest tragedies in life, especially for a believer, is to not know his or her identity in Christ. And because he or she doesn’t know their identity, they have a misunderstanding of who God is and who they really are.

Not knowing our true identity has hindered us from being all of who we were created to be. We were created to be a reflection of God in the earth. 1 John declares that “As Jesus is, so are we in this world.”

When mankind fell, it wasn’t just into sin, but everything about him failed. His values, his ideas, his thoughts, and his concepts were all a part of the fall. Jesus comes not only to redeem man but to redeem man’s fallen concepts. God sent Jesus into our world, into our confusion, into our misunderstanding —to reveal things hidden from the foundation of the world. Paul writes to the church in Colossians and unfolds this mystery declaring that it is Christ in you the hope of glory. The expectation of the manifestation of God in you.

In this book, The Identify of The Believer, Osagie Erhabor takes you through the word, line upon line, not only allowing you to discover your identity but also allowing you to discover your authority as a believer. You will discover that you are a part of the great family of God, and God has a special plan for your life. You will discover that by the grace of God, you are who you are. And God wants to reveal His son in you. The information in this book will help you to do life successfully and be all that God has called you to be.

Apostle Tony Brazelton

This purpose, which is to establish the kingdom of God on Earth, take back from the devil all that he stole, and continue what started with Adam in the Garden of Eden. Restoring man back to God’s original intent of power and glory can only be completed when we come to the full realization of our identity as believers and the authority given to us.

Growing up in Africa, my life took a tremendous turn when I gave my life to Christ at the tender age of thirteen. My desire from that moment was to be a good Christian, avoid sin as much as possible, pursue a good career like becoming a medical doctor, and believe that I would make it to heaven. As I began to hang out with other young believers, I realized that being a believer was more tha...
