AN ISREALITE INDEED

TOPIC: AN ISREALITE INDEED

SCRIPTURE:  47 Jesus saw Nathanael coming to him, and saith of him, Behold an Israelite indeed, in whom is no guile! 
48 Nathanael saith unto him, Whence knowest thou me? Jesus answered and said unto him, Before that Philip called thee, when thou wast under the fig tree, I saw thee - John 1:47-48

MEMORY VERSE: Galatians 3:17

DIGGING DEEP: Your identity is who you truly are when others are not seeing you. It is not your presentation before people only that matters, it is your personality before God that truly counts. God sees you where you are and how you are. He knows where you are right now, He knows your house address, your bank account balance, He knows your name, your descendants and your destination. Simply put that He knows everything about you. But what interest Him the most is your heart.
Our anchor text reveals that when Jesus saw Nathaniel, He said "Behold an Isrealite indeed, in whom there is no guile." It means that one may be a Christian and not be a Christian indeed, one can actually know God and do religion without knowing God indeed.  You became a spiritual Isrealite when we became born again (Galatians 3:29). And if you are now truly an Isrealite, what are the proofs that you are an Isrealite indeed?
1. A GOD SEEKER AND A GOD CHASER: Jacob who later became Isreal was a tireless God seeker and God chaser (Genesis 32:28).
2. A DETERMINED GOD PLEASER: Abraham our Father was one who lived his life pleasing the Lord. Pleasing God is living life bringing satisfaction unto God. A person that lives life pleasing God is irritated by the very things that irritates God.
3. THERE IS A COVENANT RELATIONSHIP WITH GOD: Covenant is an oath that binds God and man together.
4. CONFESSION AND PROFESSION AGREES: Your conduct and your words match. Integrity is high and no guile or any form of insincerity is found in a true Isrealite.
5. BORN AGAIN AND SEEKING TO FULFIL THE LAWS OF GOD: It is repenting and turning away from sin and following the principles of God to the later.
6. A WORSHIPPER: Every other nation might worship other God's but an Isrealite indeed worship God from His heart. This is the bedrock for daily spiritual cleansing. Because as you worship Him, He washes you.
I pray for you, you will not operate a double standard life in Jesus' name.

PRAYER: O Lord, any form of guile in me, i submit it before you, take it away from me in Jesus' name.
