Imago Dei: Rediscovering Who You Really Are

This past Sunday, Apostle John launched a new series called Imago Dei, which means “Image of God.” It wasn’t just a teaching—it was a divine wake-up call. Using Genesis 1:27 as the foundation, he reminded us that we were created in the image and likeness of God, male and female, formed with purpose and authority.

But for many of us, that truth has gotten blurry.

Apostle John called out a hard truth: we’ve forgotten who we are. Life, culture, trauma, and even religion have distorted our reflection. We’ve started identifying more with our mistakes, titles, or wounds than with the God who made us. And when you don’t know who you are, it’s easy to put on false identities—just like putting on the wrong uniform. You’ll walk around confused, defeated, or disconnected from the power available to you.

He also unpacked 2 Corinthians 3:18, highlighting that as we behold God—really see Him—we are transformed from glory to glory. That means this isn’t a one-time realization. It’s a process of renewal and reflection, where the Spirit of the Lord shapes us back into our original image. Not based on effort, but based on intimacy.

"You don’t reflect God because you don’t know you were made to. But once you realize it, you’re not just free—you’re transformed." -Apostle John

This message wasn’t just about identity—it was about alignment. When we walk in the truth that we carry the image of God, we start thinking, living, and loving differently. We become vessels of His glory, His creativity, His nature in the earth. And that’s not just for pastors or preachers—it’s for every believer.

Apostle John closed by urging us to stop settling for broken mirrors and start letting the Word and Spirit of God renew our view. Because until we see clearly, we can’t reflect fully. And if we’re not reflecting God, something’s missing.
