TODAY’S LESSON
Identity is the battlefield beneath every other battle. If the enemy can confuse who you are, he can control how you live. Christ ended that confusion at the cross. “If anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation.” (2 Corinthians 5:17). New creation doesn’t mean renovated sinner; it means regenerated daughter—reborn into a royal household with rights, responsibilities, and a name written in the Lamb’s Book of Life.
The world hands out labels like price tags—single, married, divorced, successful, stuck, pretty, plain. God cancels them with one word: Mine. When you live from that name, insecurity begins to starve. You stop performing for acceptance and start producing from acceptance. Your parenting shifts from fear to faith. Your marriage shifts from scorekeeping to serving. Your work shifts from chasing relevance to carrying presence.
Burn the false scripts: “I’m too much.” “I’m not enough.” “I’m behind.” Heaven isn’t wringing its hands about your timeline; the Author is still writing. You are not your trauma, not your triumphs, not your titles. You are blood-bought, Spirit-filled, and called. Walk like it. Talk like it. Pray like it. When condemnation tries to sit in your passenger seat, show it the receipt—Paid in Full.
📖 SCRIPTURE ANCHOR
2 Corinthians 5:17 (ESV) — “Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation.”
💡 LIVING PRINCIPLE
You don’t strive for identity; you live from it.
⚔️ DAILY ACTION
Write every false label you’ve worn on paper—and burn it (safely). Replace it with three truths: Daughter. Redeemed. Sent.
✅ PRACTICE (Do This...)
* Start each day with: “Abba, I belong to You.”
* Enter rooms as an ambassador, not an applicant.
* Correct self-talk with Scripture immediately.
💥 CHALLENGE OF THE DAY
Call or text one woman and speak identity over her destiny—specific, biblical, and bold.
🙏 PRAYER
Father, root me in who You say I am. Uproot lies, label me with truth, and let my life echo Heaven’s verdict: Beloved. In Jesus’ name, amen.
🔥 IN CLOSING
Hell can’t handle a woman who knows her name in Christ. Wear it loud.

Ruthie's Table 4
For more than 30 years The River Cafe in London, has been the home-from-home of artists, architects, designers, actors, collectors, writers, activists, and politicians. Michael Caine, Glenn Close, JJ Abrams, Steve McQueen, Victoria and David Beckham, and Lily Allen, are just some of the people who love to call The River Cafe home. On River Cafe Table 4, Rogers sits down with her customers—who have become friends—to talk about food memories. Table 4 explores how food impacts every aspect of our lives. “Foods is politics, food is cultural, food is how you express love, food is about your heritage, it defines who you and who you want to be,” says Rogers. Each week, Rogers invites her guest to reminisce about family suppers and first dates, what they cook, how they eat when performing, the restaurants they choose, and what food they seek when they need comfort. And to punctuate each episode of Table 4, guests such as Ralph Fiennes, Emily Blunt, and Alfonso Cuarón, read their favourite recipe from one of the best-selling River Cafe cookbooks. Table 4 itself, is situated near The River Cafe’s open kitchen, close to the bright pink wood-fired oven and next to the glossy yellow pass, where Ruthie oversees the restaurant. You are invited to take a seat at this intimate table and join the conversation.
