Welcome to The Turnaround!
Week One Focus: God’s Vision and Desire is Generational
Introduction
When Isaac blessed his son, he spoke destiny into him, affirmed his value, and released a generational blessing rooted in God’s promises. These blessings remind us that our worth is not determined by who we are but by whose we are.
Devotional
In today’s world, the question of identity often revolves around “Who am I?”—a question tied to outward appearance, achievements, or societal labels. This approach can lead to an endless cycle of striving and self-doubt. But God invites us to ask a different question: “Whose am I?” The answer to this, changes everything.
We belong to God, the Creator of the universe. We are His beloved children, crowned with glory, called the apple of His eye. We don’t need to prove our worth—it has already been established through His love and purpose for us. The blessings spoken in Genesis 27:26-29 beautifully illustrate this truth.
- God provides abundantly. Isaac’s blessing speaks of the “dew of heaven” and the “fatness of the earth.” These symbolize both spiritual and physical provision. Whatever your needs may be, know that God is your lavish provider.
- God calls you to a position of influence. The blessing also speaks of nations bowing and others serving. This is not about dominance but about the divine purpose God has placed on your life. You are uniquely positioned to lead, inspire, and serve others in His name.
- God protects and affirms your value. Those who bless you will be blessed, and those who curse you will face His justice. This assurance should give you confidence that your worth is secure in Him.
Recently, I came across a blog where the author shared three small habits that transformed his life: One was to look in the mirror to say, “I love you” ten times. Intrigued, I tried this exercise myself—but instead of affirming my love, I declared, “God loves you” ten times. The result was astonishing. A deep sense of joy and awe filled me. Those words carried life and power because they pointed me back to the truth of whose I am.
So today, embrace the reality that you are deeply loved, fully known, and richly blessed by your Heavenly Father. You carry a divine fragrance, a unique essence, because of your identity in Him. Everything you need for your journey—provision, purpose, and peace—is already yours. And Heaven stands ready to guide and equip you for the destiny God has placed on your life.
Turnround Question
Whose are you, and how does that truth change the way you see yourself and your life?
Prayer
Oh God, we love and adore You! You are our loving Father, our life, and our destiny. We are Yours, and in You, we find our purpose and hope.
Lord, we humbly ask that You deepen our understanding of who You are so we can fully grasp the great destiny. You have called us to draw us closer to You in intimate fellowship, so that Your qualities, Your love, and Your truth transform our hearts and minds. Help us reflect Your light and love to a world in need.
Teach us, Lord, to see those around us through Your eyes—especially the most vulnerable and broken. Show us how to reach Your children and leave an eternal impact on their lives. Fill us with Your wisdom, compassion, and courage to share Your truth and love boldly.
We surrender ourselves to You, Lord. Use us as instruments of Your grace to fulfill Your divine purposes on earth. All glory and honor belong to You, now and forever.
In Jesus’ name, we pray. Amen
