Book review: Christ Esteem by Pastor Jide Ojo

If you haven't read this book,  today will be a good day to download and read it.  This book was written by My spiritual father,  I can assure you that it is loaded with spiritual virtues.  Many people struggle to grasp the impact of what it means to be in union with Christ and, as a result, burden themselves under condemnation and guilt, failing to live in the freedom that Christ brought them.  This book will bring you into the awareness of who you are in Christ.



It’s easy to feel down trying to live up to a standard people have set for us and this sometimes brings an unconscious feeling of the need to earn  our standing before God.
Reading this book reminded me once again of how low I bring myself every time I try to gain approval or esteem based on my own performance. I can know all the other truths of what it means to be in Christ—I can know that I am justified and declared holy through Christ’s righteousness and not my own. I can know that God looks at me as a son—and yet I can still live as though I have to “earn” all that Christ has freely given! This book reminds me that I have the gifted life nnot the earning life.

Here are a few of my favorite quotes from the book:

"You deserve a good life, not because you have done anything for it but because the blood of Jesus has qualified you for it. "

" Your identity is sourced from your union with Christ. If you were worth dying for, you are precious. It doesn’t matter how you feel or what people think about you. Christ found you valuable enough to die for. "


" You are not trying to win, you have won. Christ got the victory for you. You are a victor by nature. A winner does not look down on himself, instead he rejoices. That is your life. "

" There is nothing like self-esteem for the new man in Christ. You have the esteem that only God gives and it is the Christ esteem.  You are who God says you are not who the world says you are."

"You are empowered to do all God created you to do, so let go of the inferiority complex.  You have the God ability in you."
