The Lion Who Found His Roar: Awaken to Your True Identity

 

In the heart of the savanna, a fierce wildfire raged, leaving behind a trail of destruction. Amidst the chaos, a young lion cub became separated from his family. Lost and vulnerable, he wandered the scorched land until a kind mother goat found him. Moved by compassion, she took him in and raised him as her own among her kids.

The cub grew up happily, living as the goats did. He grazed on grass, bleated like them, and frolicked across the meadows. Never knowing any other life, he believed he was just another goat and lived contentedly.

But one day, as the herd grazed under the golden sun, the roar of a lion thundered across the plains. The sound was powerful and commanding, echoing through the cub’s very being. Something stirred deep within him—something wild and unfamiliar yet strangely comforting.

Before he could think, the young lion opened his mouth and roared. It wasn’t a bleat or a cry, but a mighty, primal roar. The goats froze in terror. In that moment, they realized their adopted companion was not one of them but a lion—a creature of power and dominion.

Fear seized the herd, and they scattered in every direction, fleeing for their lives. The young lion stood alone, startled by the sound he had made but also awakened to a profound truth: he was not a goat. He was a lion, the king of the wild.

From that moment, he embraced his true nature and began to live as he was meant to—not as one of the herd, but as a lion with strength, authority, and purpose.

A Lesson for Us All

This story is more than just a tale—it’s a powerful metaphor for our lives. Many of us, like the young lion, have forgotten who we truly are. We’ve been shaped by the world around us, conditioned to live small, safe lives, and convinced that we’re no different from those around us.

But here’s the truth:

• Goats give birth to goat kids, and lions to lion cubs.
• If you are a child of the Most High God, you too are counted as royalty.

The Bible declares in 1 Peter 2:9, “But you are a chosen people, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, God’s special possession, that you may declare the praises of Him who called you out of darkness into His wonderful light.”

You are not meant to live like the herd. You are not meant to graze on the scraps of life or bleat in fear at every challenge. You are a lion—a child of the King of kings, endowed with strength, authority, and divine purpose.

Awaken to Your True Identity

Just as the young lion’s roar awakened him to his true nature, God’s Word has the power to awaken you to yours. It’s time to:

1. Recognize Your Identity: You are not defined by your past, your circumstances, or the opinions of others. You are a child of God, created in His image and destined for greatness.
2. Embrace Your Authority: As a believer, you have been given authority over every force of darkness (Luke 10:19). Stop living like a victim and start walking in victory.
3. Live with Purpose: You were not created to blend in with the crowd. You were created to stand out, to lead, and to make a difference in the world.

Rise Up and Roar

The world needs your roar. It needs your courage, your faith, and your unwavering belief in who God has called you to be. Don’t let fear, doubt, or the expectations of others keep you from stepping into your true identity.

Today, awaken to the divine truth:

• You are not a goat.
• You are a lion.
• You are a child of the Most High God.

Rise up, embrace your identity, and walk victoriously in the purpose God has for you.
