Being Who You Can Be Through The Great I AM

Have you ever wondered why when Moses asked God for His name, He replied in Exodus 3 vs 14 as such : "I am who I am . This is what you (Moses) are to say to the Israelites: 'I AM has sent me to you." God is exactly what He says He is; He is the Great I AM. In your time of financial need or poverty, the Great I AM says : I am Jevorah Jireh, Your Provider. In times when you need healing, He is Jehovah Rapha, your Healer, etc.

You see the Great I AM will be unto you as "I am your provider, your healer, etc as your need requires. Isn't that a bit self-centred to think that God will be who we want Him to be ? Not at all ! God delights to be the Great I AM to you and even in the Gospels, we read of Jesus and His pronouncements of the "7 Great I AM's" i.e. I am the Bread of Life, I am the Light of the world, I am the door of the sheep, I am the Good Shepherd, I am the Resurrection and the Life, I am the Way, the truth and the Life and I am the True Vine.

We too can be who we can be to others through the Great I AM. Here are some practical ways how we can do that :

1. Through the Great I AM who is our Bread of Life, we can offer that same bread to those who hunger for God.
2. Through the Great I AM who is the Light of the world, we too can shine for Jesus and let our light so shine before Man.
3. Through the Great I AM who is the door of the sheep, we can lead others to be His sheep through that door.
4. Through the Great I AM who is the Good Shepherd, we can also shepherd and pastor those who need to be cared for.
5. Through the Great I AM who is the Resurrection and the Life, we can lead others to eternal life in Christ.
   
6. Through the Great I AM who is the Way, the Truth and the Life, we can show others the way to His Truth and lead them to newness of Life.
7. Through the Great I AM who is the True Vine, we can continue to bear fruit and be His branches and encourage others to do so.

No matter what our lot in life is and how little talent or gifting we have, in the hands of the Great I AM, we can be like Him and be who we can be through Him who is the Great I AM !
