How many times have you been confused with someone else? You are walking down the road, only for someone to come from nowhere and ask if you remember them. You replied, “Who me?” Only to hear, “I am sorry, you look like someone I know.”
That’s what you call a mistaken identity. That’s a simple mistake, but what about the not-so-simple ones?
What if you are mistaken for a wanted person? Now that’s another story. You definitely wouldn’t want to be that person because no one wants to be associated with bad things or bad people, and no one wants to be assigned a project destined to fail.
There was a man in the Bible who had an impossible project to complete. He didn’t ask who because it was clear the mission was his, so he went along and did what he was instructed to do.
“So I prophesied as I was commanded; and as I prophesied, there was a noise, and suddenly a rattling; and the bones came together, bone to bone. Indeed, as I looked, the sinews and the flesh came upon them, and the skin covered them over; but there was no breath in them.” (Ezekiel 37:7-8)
Ezekiel is no longer here, and today this mission is given to you.
Which area of your life or family is considered to be ‘dry bones’? Go ahead and prophesy over your life, family, health, finances, spiritual life…
That is what Ezekiel did, and he saw the results: “So I prophesied as I was commanded; and as I prophesied, there was a noise…”
The bones were no longer quiet; there was a noise. Your life will no longer be quiet/mute; there must be the noise of transformation—your testimony. This is the result of an obedient faith.
May the God of the Bible bless you!
Bishop Bira Joshua
