14 IDENTITIES OF JESUS





The book of John opens with an interesting introduction of the person of Jesus. It is as though, Apostle John thought in his heart, "How would they understand his purpose, his sufferings, his temptations, his actions, his authority, the miracles and his behaviour if they don't know Him?"   

Jesus' Identity prophesied all that. So John took his time to introduce our Jesus in an interesting narrative recorded in John Chapter 1.


The 14 Identities of Jesus as seen in John Chapter 1 goes thus;



1. Jesus, the word

2. Jesus, the creator

3. Jesus, the life

4. Jesus, the light of all men

5. Jesus the begotten of the father

6. Jesus, the son of God

7. Jesus, the son of man (Made flesh)

8. Jesus, the Christ (Greek for the anointed one

9. Jesus, the Messiah (Hebrew for the anointed one)

10. Jesus, the lamb of God

11. Jesus, the master

12. Jesus of Nazareth, Son of Joseph

13.Jesus, the faultless

14. Jesus, the king of Israel


This introduction of Jesus stands as a foundation for the rest of the book. In confirmation, we see Jesus function in these various identities throughout scripture.


The questions to ponder are;



1. Which of these Identities of Jesus have you personally encountered?
2. Which of them are you drawn to the most?
3. Which of them are you most grateful for?
4. Which of them have impacted your life?

I will be waiting for you in the comment section.

    I have personally encountered, Jesus the word. I remember been atshmatic as a little girl age 12. At the boarding house, I was known for my famous red cardigan that was always on me. After much frustration, one day at age 13. I intentionally resumed school without my inhaler. I told the Lord if He healed me, I would be grateful. I had heard my dad pray for people and having them healed by declaring "by his stripes we are healed". If that word is true, then, you've got to me heal me too."

    I had a major attack one day at school and I stood my ground. My colleagues gathered around and prayed for me. They asked for my inhaler and I let them know using signs that I didn't resume with it. I couldn't speak with all the woozing and trying to catch my breath.
    Atshma is a bastard!


    How that attack didn' t kill me that day could only be God. That was the last time I ever needed an inhaler. Today, I am free as air. The doctors said I couldn't be cured but JESUS, THE WORD CURED ME!


    Question 2.
    The Identities of Jesus I am drawn to the most are

    1. Jesus , the Christ.
    Agh! This anointed man drives me crazy in love with Him so much so I startes writing him love letters and romantic poems which I sometimes post on social media using the hash tags #AnneChristSeries #FatallyObsessed #GhastlyAddicted

    2. Jesus, the son of God.
    I am so drawn that it inspired our community outreach at the birthplace foundation -JTOW in bid to throw birthday parties for the son of God when we mark his birth at Christmas.

    I love Jesus, mehn!


    Question 3

    I am most grateful for Jesus, the lamb of God. Woe would have befallen me, If hadn't known Him as saviour who died to pay for my sins. Jesus, I am grateful!!!


    Question 4

    The Identity of Jesus that has impacted my life is Jesus, the master. I am always thinking about serving in ministry in a way that exactly matches his heart and passion. I don't want to be called home in death only to see a frown on his face. I love my master, I want to please Him not only in ministry but in every aspect of of my life!

GOD IS KIND: The Integrity of his promises

  Read part 5 here My stomach started bulging. I sent pictures of us to my family. My sister-in-law posted on her WhatsApp status. About two or more people told her my face looked pregnant. She told me and I said my usual, Amen. After all, someone that’s been declaring herself pregnant since August should truly look pregnant by December 😂😂 I focused on my vacation, determined to thoroughly enjoy myself. One morning we all hit the gym and I led a dance exercise. Worried about my bulging tummy, I used a vintage  vibrating exercise belt  on my belly. Click the word to see how it works. It vibrated so intensely that my belly “caught fire” I begged to stop. Vacation was over we went  home. At this point, it was barely 3 days to 2021. I had an assignment to submit at school. I started writing it but noticed it was a struggle. It felt as though something foreign had hit my brain. I was also hosting a 12-hour prayer-thon. I managed to pull through these. Then we went for c...

GOD IS KIND: Prophetic Word

  Read part 6 here       The one who made us smile this broadly will settle you in that area of waiting when you lest expect it.   My journey  to being Nkechi’s mum is only one part of my life where I’ve had to obtain things by aggressive faith. There is nothing good that I’ve ever desired that I haven’t had to purposefully switch on my aggressive faith mode to receive.  I have faith stories, from university admissions, to graduating with a second class upper, Landing  jobs, getting a car, hosting conferences and outreaches, winning souls, influencing/possessing territorial dominion, publishing books, getting married and now having children. Everyone of them when shared would provoke anyone to trust God.  However, while these stories have the tendency to portray me as a faith expert, I am far from being one. This is because  whether  God answers or not  he is God. My situation is not enough to validate the credibility of who he...

GOD IS KIND: The potency of trust

Read Part 4 here On this third day of praise, I felt like drinking Chinese tea. My praise jam was on already and I was reading my bible and making my confessions in preparation for my dance. I couldn’t shake off the urge to drink the tea. I made it and started sipping.  I started cramping badly. I was wondering why is this happening, I’ve had my period already. I don’t have endometriosis anymore. I will tell you how God delivered me from that one shortly.I continued my dance in pain. Before I knew it, I felt pressured below. I washed my hands and sent it there. Men and brethren, Look who came out . Both are the same fibroid. Picture 1: After I washed it. Picture 2: When it just fell out. I  felt different  emotions at once. One of which was fear. Ah God! What is this again? Are there more? What next? How long would this monster keep coming back? I summoned courage and resumed my praise. I gave my best dance that third day.  Shortly afterwards, my husband called. I di...
