My service in ministry had for a long time been limited to support.

I had been an administrator in my corporate life, so support came naturally to me.
I didn’t mind being of service to others.

That coupled with the low self-esteem that anyone coming from the lower echelons of society battles, guaranteed my place – as your behind-the-scenes person.

My external circumstances – I was broke, rejected, and dejected – completely aligned with who I had become.

I was doing the right thing, only it didn’t allow my gifts to flourish; and battled who I really was.

Showing your True Identity will be both an internal battle and an external battle.
You will have to fight your low self-esteem, your personal fears and doubts.

And again, you will have to fight the boxed opinions, and the invisible red tape and barriers that society places to dictate how far your kind should go.

You will need to overcome your doubts, fears and anxieties and step into new territory.

You will need to get your fight on – and defy every barrier that society will attempt to place before you.

You will need to reintroduce yourself to yourself.

And then reintroduce yourself to the world.

Friend, you will need to summon inner strength, a constant inner reminder of who you really are, and you will need to keep showing up despite the odds.

The odds of no connections, no pedigree, no financial backing, no track record – your only capital will be your inner conviction.

And that’s more than enough.

My encouragement to you today is to take a moment to search for your True Identity.

When all else fails, when your back’s against the wall, that’s everything you need to rise again.

And just so you know, it’s right there, embedded within you.
