Who Are You to God?
Does God Know You? The Power of Divine Recognition
“You keep telling people you know God, but the question is—does He know you?”
In Christianity, we often focus on the outward: ministry achievements, years in faith, or spiritual gifts. But God’s primary concern is not in what we do, but in who we are to Him.
Our walk with God isn’t measured by accolades or applause, but by intimacy, humility, and obedience. As Oswald Chambers once said, “The main thing about Christianity is not the work we do, but the relationship we maintain and the atmosphere produced by that relationship.”
As Prophet TB Joshua taught, “Our Christian life is measured by our love and obedience to God, not just by our activities or titles.”
You may say, “I know God.” But a greater question is, “Does God know you?”
Does God Acknowledge You?
Throughout Scripture, we see that when God truly knows someone, He speaks of them with honor, affection, and public affirmation. Let’s look at how God describes some of His faithful ones:
Hezekiah: “Go back to Hezekiah, the leader of My people” — 2 Kings 20:5.
God knew Hezekiah not just as a king, but as a leader of His people—a man of prayer, sincerity, and tears before the Lord.
Job: “Have you noticed my servant Job? He is the finest man in all the earth. He is blameless—a man of complete integrity…” — Job 2:3.
God boasted about Job to Satan Himself, describing him as the finest man on earth. Job’s loyalty, integrity, and fear of God made him a heaven-recognized man.
David: “I have found David… a man after my own heart. He will do everything I want Him to do” — Acts 13:22.
God cherished David’s heart—his willingness to obey, repent, and submit. Even with flaws, his devotion to God’s will was unmatched.
Jesus: *“This is my dearly loved Son, in whom I am well pleased”* — Matthew 3:16.
God’s ultimate delight. Jesus was obedient even unto death (Philippians 2:8), fulfilling every command of the Father in humility and surrender.
Moses: “…But not with my servant Moses. Of all my house, He is the One I trust. I speak to him face to face, clearly, and not in riddles! He sees the LORD as He is” — Numbers 12:6–8
Moses was trusted by God above all His house. His meekness (Numbers 12:3) and reverence made him worthy of divine intimacy.
Daniel: “You are very precious to God” — Daniel 9:23.
Daniel’s life of consecration and spiritual discipline made him precious in the sight of God. He fasted, prayed, and sought revelation with humility.
Prophet TB Joshua — “God’s Own”
Those of you who know Prophet TB by divine revelation know how God describes Him when He revealed him to you. Personally, i witnessed the life and ministry of Prophet TB Joshua closely and he is one who operates on the deepest side of His relationship with God. Out of His most unique gifts was writing in tongue language.
He accesses the celestial corridor with ease and that’s obvious in how mightily he was used by God, towering high and above his contemporaries in ministry. He is someone whose relationship with God is of gargantuan proportions like that of Prophet Moses.
Listen to Prophet TB Joshua speaking and demonstrating very deep things about God
Prophet TB Joshua shared how clearly He hears God speak to him in very much the same way we read newspapers
The Common Thread: Humility and Obedience
These individuals didn’t just carry titles. They carried obedience in their hearts and walked in humility before God.
James 4:6–7
“God resists the proud but gives grace to the humble. Submit yourselves, then, to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you.”
These were people whom God didn’t just use—He knew them. Their common trait? Humility and obedience.
“God opposes the proud but gives grace to the humble.” — James 4:6–7
Modern-Day Christian Mistakes: The Boast of Flesh
Some today boast about:
How long they’ve been in ministry
How many souls they’ve won
Their spiritual gifts (prophecy, healing, deliverance)
Their personal sacrifices and fasting
Yet none of these guarantee that God knows you.
But the Bible reminds us:
Jeremiah 9:23–24
“Let not the wise boast in their wisdom or the strong boast in their strength or the rich boast in their riches, but let the one who boasts boast about this: that they have the understanding to know Me…”
Paul reminds us, “If you want to boast, boast only about the Lord” — 1 Corinthians 1:31
And in Philippians 4:19, Paul boasted in what God had done for him, not what he could do.
The sobering truth? Ministry success doesn’t equal divine approval. Jesus Himself warned, “Many will say to me on that day, ‘Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in Your name?…’ Then I will tell them plainly, ‘I never knew you’” — Matthew 7:22–23
An Ardent follower of SpiritWorshipGen and namesake of mine, Samuel Adejebe, shared his powerful inspiration below:
So… Who Are You to God?
Are you cultivating a heart that God recognizes? Would heaven call you a friend of God like Abraham (James 2:23)? Would the Lord boast in your character like He did with Job?
This is not about striving to earn favor, but about walking daily with God in humility, letting your obedience echo louder than your titles.
What God Values
Not titles, but truth—John 8:31-32
Not Gifts, but grace—Ephesians 2:8-9
Not appearances, but the heart—1Samuel 16:7
Ask Yourself: Who Am I to God?
Take a moment today. Not to list your accomplishments, but to ask:
“Lord, am I known by You?”
“Does God acknowledge me like He did Job or Daniel?”
Am I known in heaven for my obedience, humility, and faithfulness?
Is my prayer life a fragrance that reaches God’s throne?
If we desire to be used by God, we must first desire to be known by Him—through surrender, humility, and faithfulness.
Final Encouragement: Seek to Be Known by God
Instead of trying to prove to others that you know God, seek to live a life that causes God to acknowledge you.
Live humbly. Obey His Word. Meditate on it daily. Serve with a sincere heart. Let your faith be rooted not in outward signs but in inward obedience.
Matthew 7:21–23 warns us that not everyone who says, “Lord, Lord,” will enter the Kingdom. Some cast out demons and did mighty works but were unknown to God because their hearts were far from Him.
Conclusion Prayer:
“Lord, I don’t just want to say I know You. I want to be known by You. Help me walk in humility and obedience so that heaven can recognize me. Let my life reflect Your will, and let my heart be a place where You dwell. In Jesus’ name, Amen.”
