A NEW NAME IN CHRIST

THE CALLED & ANOINTED:

IT IS HIGH TIME THAT WE COMPLETELY DO AWAY WITH THOSE NAMES THAT ASSOCIATED US WITH OUR FAMILY IDOLS AND MAKE SATAN CLAIM OWNERSHIP OF OUR PERSONALITIES AND SOMETIMES LAY HOLD ON OUR SOULS.

EPHESIANS, 2:-11-12 “THEREFORE REMEMBER THAT YOU, ONCE GENTILES IN THE FLESH, WHO ARE CALLED UNCIRCUMCISED BY WHAT IS CALLED THE CIRCUMCISION MADE IN THE FLESH BY HANDS.

REMEMBER THAT YOU WERE AT THAT TIME SEPARATED FROM CHRIST, ALIENATED FROM THE COMMONWEALTH OF ISRAEL AND STRANGERS TO THE COVENANTS OF PROMISE, HAVING NO HOPE AND WITHOUT GOD IN THE WORLD.”

BUT TODAY WE ARE SAVED BY THE POWER OF THE BLOOD OF JESUS CHRIST. HALLELUYAH.

GOING AROUND WITH NAMES THAT HONORED SATAN IS UNCALLED FOR.

1 PETER, 2:-9 “BUT YOU ARE A CHOSEN GENERATION, A ROYAL PRIESTHOOD, A HOLY NATION, HIS OWN SPECIAL PEOPLE, THAT YOU MAY PROCLAIM THE PRAISES OF HIM WHO CALLED YOU OUT OF DARKNESS INTO HIS MARVELOUS LIGHT.”

NOW THAT WE ARE CHILDREN OF GOD IN LIGHT: HOW LONG MUST WE HOLD ON TO THOSE NAMES THAT GIVE GLORY TO SATAN? BE IT FIRST, MIDDLE, OR LAST NAME, WE MUST DECOUPLE OURSELVES FROM SATAN.

NAMES LIKE:-AWOGBAMILA, ESUBIYI, ESUDAMILOLA. THE LIST GOES ON. SOME MAY ARGUE THAT THOSE NAMES ARE FAMILY NAMES. BUT THIS IS WHAT JESUS SAYS IN THE BOOK OF MATTHEW.

MATTHEW, 10:-35; JESUS PROCLAIMED, “FOR I HAVE COME TO SET A MAN AGAINST HIS FATHER, A DAUGHTER AGAINST HER MOTHER, AND A DAUGHTER-IN-LAW AGAINST HER MOTHER-IN-LAW.”

IN CONCLUSION: “DO NOT BE UNEQUAL YOKED WITH UNBELIEVERS. FOR WHAT PARTNERSHIP HAS RIGHTEOUSNESS WITH LAWLESSNESS? OR WHAT FELLOWSHIP HAS LIGHT WITH DARKNESS? WHAT ACCORD HAS CHRIST WITH BELIAL? OR WHAT PORTION DOES A BELIEVER SHARE WITH AN UNBELIEVER? (2 CORINTHIANS, 6:-14-15)

PLEASE JOIN US IN PRAYER FOR OUR BROTHERS AND SISTERS WHO ARE BEING PERSECUTED ON A DAILY BASIS DUE TO THEIR FAITH IN CHRIST JESUS, MOSTLY THOSE IN NIGERIA WHOSE OWN GOVERNMENT ALLOWED THEIR KILLINGS WITHOUT ANY CONSEQUENCE.

PRAYERS FOR THE UNITY OF CHRIST-FOLLOWERS REGARDLESS OF DENOMINATION.
