I Used to Call Myself Shy and Introverted Until God Showed Me My Real Identity - Even the Psychologist Asked why I Feel So Special

What If You Could Not Fail?
Imagine succeeding in the things that you do, your job/career, family life, as well as in your own personal life. What if God asked you this question, 'What would you do if you knew you can't fail?'
My Answer: Spreading God's Love Without Fear
If I knew I couldn't fail, I'd be preaching everywhere about Jesus' love - getting humanity saved. When I was first saved, God gave me such confidence that I boldly told co-workers to repent because Jesus was returning. That's the power of knowing you cannot fail in God's plan.
"When heaven touches your life, you don't just believe you can succeed - you know you cannot fail."
Overcoming Laziness and Procrastination Through Faith
Laziness and procrastination become non-issues when you walk in God's favour. I even asked Reddit user's "Where would you be if you weren't lazy?"- the responses proved that procrastination holds us back more than anything.
Here are some of the responses:
"In the gym"
"Skydiving instructor"
"I wouldn't be typing this comment"
"President"
"I would have written poems and short stories and worked towards publishing my first book. I would have created digital products and hosted podcast interviews for my blog platform. I would have engaged in more self care and really nurtured myself."
The Power of Faith-Filled Declarations
Einstein once said, "Imagination is more important than knowledge. For knowledge is limited, whereas imagination embraces the entire world, stimulating progress, giving birth to evolution." What Einstein understood scientifically, the Bible teaches spiritually - our thoughts and declarations shape reality when aligned with God's will.
Some people believe in manifestation - the Bible calls it declaring God's promises (Proverbs 18:21). Our thoughts shape our destiny, especially when aligned with God's will. As the thought I had whilst preaching to others was that "I'm victorious"- just as the bible said.
Walking in Perfect Love and Divine Identity
There comes a point in your faith journey where you approach God's throne boldly (Hebrews 4:16). You realise that your words carry supernatural weight because of Christ's perfect love within you.
"You cannot live defeated when you know you're a child of the Most High. Your shyness isn't your identity - your favour is."
Knowing Your Identity in Christ Changes Everything:
• You belong to God completely (1 Peter 2:9)
• Your soul rests in His hands (Psalm 31:5)
• You don't operate from fear or worry (Isaiah 41:10)
• You trust without doubt (Proverbs 3:5-6)
• You know God's unconditional favour (Romans 8:38-39)
This truth sets you free to live victoriously. People around you notice this transformation.
My Personal Experience with God's Favour
I've experienced what victory feels like - knowing I don't have to fear death or hell (1 John 4:18). The freedom of knowing that the Creator of the universe loves me exactly as I am made me feel special. Even my psychologist asked why I felt so uniquely special (favoured, God has no favourites, but He makes each of us feel like His special one).
When Heaven Touches Earth
It's both amazing and sobering when God's anointing rests on your life. Your declarations begin manifesting because the spiritual realm collides with the physical world. While unbelievers can speak things into existence, words carry a heavier weight in believers' mouths.
Connecting Life's Dots Through God's Perspective
During my hospital stay, doctors asked about my faith journey. I began connecting pieces of my past - rejecting God, focusing on grades, art, and parental approval to fill the void. I was seeking love through friendships, compliments, and attention.
Then I had an epiphany: God never gave up on me. Jesus kept knocking until I was ready to receive Him (Revelation 3:20). Even when I denied Him, He remained persistent and patient - just as He is with you.
"While you were running from God, He was running toward you. While you were denying Him, He was declaring His love over you."
My Transformation Timeline
Before God Showed Me My Identity:
❌ Called myself shy, quiet, introverted
❌ Sought love through grades, art, and approval
❌ Feared failure and rejection
❌ Lived from a place of lack and insecurity
❌ Avoided speaking about my faith
After Discovering My True Identity in Christ:
✅ Walk with supernatural confidence
✅ Boldly share Jesus everywhere I go
✅ See blessings in everything around me
✅ Live from God's abundant favour
✅ Even my psychologist notices I feel "special"
The Difference? I stopped believing what the world said about me and started believing what God says about me.
The Reality of God's Watchful Eye
God's eyes never left you (Psalm 34:15). He's still watching, along with your angels. This should motivate us to guard our actions, words, and thoughts. Even in end times, many don't realise God watches over earth - showing wrath to some while sealing and protecting His own.
Why God's Favour Is Essential for Your Life
With God's favour:
• Doors open supernaturally
• Confidence increases
• You walk in divine purpose
• Your spiritual eyes open to see blessings everywhere
• You desire to bless others
If God is for you, who can stand against you? When you know God controls everything and accept His will, peace follows.
How to Recognise God's Favour in Your Life
You have God's favour when:
• Christ lives within you (Galatians 2:20)
• You seek God daily until He dwells in you (Jeremiah 29:13)
• You listen to His voice (John 10:27)
• You align with His will (1 John 5:14)
God's will is simple: accept His son Jesus for a personal relationship (John 3:16). That's the Gospel message - how God drew humanity back to Himself.
Different levels of favour and rewards exist, but the foundation remains: do His will and obtain His favour.
Your Next Step: The Identity Declaration
Right now, I want you to do something that will change your life. Look in the mirror and declare these truths over yourself:
"I am not shy - I am bold in Christ."
"I am not limited - I am highly favoured."
"I cannot fail - because God's plan for me cannot fail."
Take Action Today:
Write down one thing you'd do if you knew you couldn't fail
Pray and ask God to show you your true identity
Share this post with someone who needs to know they're not defined by their fears
Ready to Accept Jesus?
If you've never accepted Jesus as your Lord and Saviour, pray this prayer with me:
"Dear Jesus, I believe You died for my sins and rose again. I confess that I am a sinner and need Your forgiveness. Come into my heart and be my Lord and Saviour. Help me to live for You from this day forward. In Jesus' name, Amen."
Remember: The same God who transformed a shy, introverted person into someone bold enough to preach at work is the same God waiting to transform you.
