When I was younger, whenever we heard a certain kind of car horn or saw a Peugeot 504, my siblings and I would immediately think it was our dad—even before seeing who was inside. It didn’t matter if it was driven by a stranger; it got our attention because it was the car we knew our dad drove.
I was reminded of this recently while listening to a minister I deeply respect as he taught from the book of Psalms, explaining the concept of identity.
Christ doesn’t have to visibly show up in our businesses, family meetings, or daily life because His Word already declares that if anyone is in Christ, they are a new creation.They no longer belong to themselves—they take on a new nature. This nature is rooted in Christ.
Beloved, have you ever paused to wonder: “What identity do I carry?”
Our identity isn’t just about our physical appearance. It includes our character, actions, posture, and sound. Just as royalty is taught how to behave like kings and queens, God is calling us in Psalm 24 to carry His nature—because when we approach the ancient gates, the gatekeepers will ask: “Who are you?” And if we don't carry the identity of the King of Glory, we may be denied access or find ourselves overwhelmed in a perverse and broken world.
Every posture we take releases a sound. And as God’s people, our sound is not just noise—it is an answer to the crises and chaos around us.
If there’s a challenge currently draining your joy—or a constant battle you don’t know how to fight—God is saying: I’ve given you a weapon.
And that weapon is not your strength or intellect—it is identity. You don’t need to be consumed by fear, insecurity, or the enemy’s plots. You simply need to put on the identity of the King of Glory.
Every gate, every opposition, and every ancient barrier responds to the King of Glory. When the gatekeepers hear that sound—when they see that identity—they don’t resist. They bow.
As Paul said, “It is no longer I who live, but Christ who lives in me” (Galatians 2:20). That is the formula. That is the equation.
I carry the identity of the King of Glory, and the gates of this world cannot deny Him.
Today, choose to remember:
You have died, and it is the King of Glory who now lives in you.
That is your identity. That is your sound.
Stay Revived!
