🗣️When you begin to manifest yourself—that is, as you begin to be just yourself—people who thought that they knew you, for instance, because they know your place or current house address, probably your shop or office, and your father, mother, and siblings, will be highly skeptical about you. They will be like, "Is it not you we know?" However, they might be wrong because what they literally know about you, at best, is your physical being (body) and its relatives, like your job, and NOT your spirit (your essence, your purpose, your mission or assignment on Earth) or the spirit behind your being or actions (your God). Note this: they do not know the true you. They may pride themselves on the former, which is about your physical being and its relatives, like your home address and parents and siblings, while the latter they may be 100% unaware and uninformed about because God will not show them everything concerning you (the full picture of you). One reason for this is that God wants to make you a surprise to them; you will be a surprise to your world.
I can guarantee that the people you are living with—I’m talking about your immediate family members—do not know you, or shall I say, they do not know who you really are. At best, what they know about you is that you are their sibling, a brother or sister. Beyond being a sibling, you are a personality that they know nothing about. Who you are is not outside of you in the physical body; rather, it’s within you—in your heart (spirit). Note this: it will take the special grace of God for parents to discover who their child is and what that child is meant to be. I know you will agree with me on this.
🎁My brief story: I, Chidi Young personally asked myself this question: “Who am I?” For a good 11 years, throughout my teenage life and all my 20s, I never knew who I was or discovered myself, and neither did my parents know my God-given purpose or the original me. As I have said earlier, the best they knew about me was that I am the first son of my family (a brother to my siblings). However, in all the places I have been opportune to travel within the country of Nigeria, this question, “Who am I?” went with me everywhere. At that time, I did not know how to answer that question! Secondly, I did not know how to figure out who I am by myself, nor did that question leave me alone because it was coming from within me (from my heart and spirit). I was living a positive lifestyle anyway, with optimism, always laughing with life and having a never-give-up mentality. Hahaha! By God's grace, I managed to make reading books and learning a daily habit; I studied King Solomon of Israel, Daniel of Judah in the Bible, and learned from how Joseph, the son of Jacob, did it in his own time. I also studied Samson the Strong and Delilah of Israel, along with the book of Psalms (by King David), Proverbs, Sirach, and the wisdom of Solomon in the Bible. I prayed like Jabez, but I never wanted to play like Job because I did not want to experience a quarter of what that great man from the East called Job went through in his lifetime. I paid close attention to their communication skills with God Almighty and how they managed their crises and other life affairs.
Until later in my life, I met Dr. Myles Munroe of the Bahamas, Brian Tracy of Canada, TB Joshua of Nigeria, Napoleon Hill of Virginia, David O. Oyedepo of Nigeria, Robert Kiyosaki of Hawaii, Faith Oyedepo of Nigeria, etc. At this time, the little I could say about myself prior to my self-discovery stage was that I was different. I never fit in with the crowd; even if I mistakenly ended up in a crowd, I would still stay alone. I always hated the status quo, disliked normal methods, but always wanted to go on adventures and change things—this or that. I have a natural love for every natural thing, like water, the sky, butterflies, hills, animals, and birds. All of this continued until I was six years past a quarter-century of age. That was when I fully discovered who I am! On one fateful day, I discovered myself—the true me. This truth of my true self unfolded to me in March 2022. However, it was not the person they said I am or thought about me, but the one whom God created me to be came into my full understanding after 11 years of steady self-questioning of “Who am I?”
On the very first day God told me who I am, everything in me was shocked to confirm it. The blood running in my veins pumped with more force than usual in a way I had never experienced before. I didn't know when I was jumping up and down while crying at the same time because such an experience had never happened to me before. It felt like something powerful buried within me was reawakened, and I had been obsessed and expectant to discover who I truly am for several years. After that very day, people within my circle and outside my circle began to testify about it. Yes, when I spoke to them, they began to confirm that same thing God told me about me; they would usually call me what God said I am. Whenever they do this, deep in my spirit, I know they are reaffirming what God had said about me to me. "I have received several congratulatory text messages from people I know and many from people I do not know. Often, they say, 'Chidi Young, you have inspired me. You have motivated me. Thank you.'"
So, where did I get the answer to the question I asked myself for 11 years? From within me (my heart, my soul, my spirit). My point is that who you truly are; nobody knows it yet. It’s in your heart (sealed in your soul), and nobody knows it yet—only your God and you know it. God Almighty is the best person who can reveal you to yourself through the personality of the Holy Spirit to your spirit. Yes, I’m talking about the true you.
Other people can predict as they want about you, but be informed now that they can also make wrong predictions about who you really are! However, your spirit, if it’s born of God, cannot mislead you. It will be pushing you to do things for human betterment or humanity’s sake that you would naturally not do.
Chidi Young wants to stop by saying right now that people around you do not know who you really are, but don't be bothered about it. So, do not even try to tell them who you are; rather, let your words, beliefs, actions, confessions, professions, work, declarations, faith, persistence, and deeds disclose who you are to the world—yes, to them.
Who you are is trapped within you; it’s in your heart and can only see the light of day or come into the world through you. As I speak to you now, my parents and siblings still do not know who I really am or who is living with them all these years. As I said earlier, the best they may know about me is that I am the first son of my family and a brother to my siblings. On the other hand, I know who I truly am, and I know that God truly knows me. I am no longer confused about life; I understand that I came for an assignment, with a positive mission to accomplish on Earth before I return to my Father in heaven, and a purpose for human betterment, which encompasses human development, poverty eradication, wealth building, and family well-being. I am committed to this cause, and my service is ongoing. I'm not discouraged at all; I am not afraid of anything in life. The only thing I greatly fear and acknowledge is God Almighty.
This is meant to inspire someone to believe in oneself, regardless of other people's negative predictions, and to encourage them to ask themselves a similar question: “Who am I?” This question goes beyond one's job or professional identity.
Friends, may God Almighty help and support you and bless you. Amen.
Even as you are reading this piece of work now, I am also reading a book and learning how to obey God's voice because His guidance is sweet."
Friends, Good luck 🤞.
