What is in a Name?
ANOINTED MEN AND WOMEN OF GOD:
PLEASE LET US TAKE A SERIOUS LOOK AT OUR JOURNEY FROM THE BEGINNING OF OUR CHRISTIAN LIVES TO DATE.
OUR INDIVIDUAL NAME(S) PLAYED A SPECIAL ROLE IN THE FULFILLMENT OF GOD PROMISES AND COVENANTS IN OUR LIVES AS HIS BELOVED CHILDREN.
WHEN OUR FATHER ABRAHAM STARTED HIS JOURNEY WITH GOD; HIS NAME CHANGED AND EVERYTHING IN HIS LIFE CHANGED FOR BETTER.
GOD ALSO CHANGED THE NAME OF SARAH HIS WIFE. (GEN. 17:-5 / GEN. 17:-15) ALL THESE HAPPENED THAT GOD MAY ESTABLISH HIS COVENANT WITH BOTH OF THEM.
IN THIS MODERN DAY CHRISTIANITY; AFTER ACCEPTING CHRIST AS OUR LORD AND SAVIOR, GOT BAPTIZED AND PARTAKE IN THE HOLY COMMUNION; “WHY ARE WE STILL CARRYING THE NAMES OF THE IDOLS THAT WE TEND TO HAVE FORSAKEN?
NAMES LIKE:- SANGOSEYI, IFAGBAMILA, ESUBIYI, AWOSANMI, OSHOWUMI
THE LIST GOES ON AND ON.
HOW CAN WE BE IN THE LIGHT OF GOD AND STILL KEEP A DATE WITH THE DARKNESS?
THOSE NAME ARE PURELY SATANIC.
1 PETER, 2:-2-9 “BUT YE ARE A CHOSEN GENERATION, A ROYAL PRIESTHOOD, AN HOLY NATION, A PECULIAR PEOPLE: THAT YE SHOULD SHEW FORTH THE PRAISE OF HIM WHO HATH CALLED YOU OUT OF DARKNESS INTO HIS MARVELOUS LIGHT.”
WE NEED TO FINALLY PATH WAYS WITH SATAN AND THE NAMES OF HIS ACTIVE ANGELS, THAT THE DARKNESS MAY COMPLETELY VANISH FROM OUR LIVES AND ALLOW THE HOLY SPIRIT TO TAKE CONTROL.
REV. 3:-20 “BEHOLD, I STAND AT THE DOOR, AND KNOCK; IF ANY MAN HEAR MY VOICE, AND OPEN THE DOOR, I WILL COME IN TO HIM, AND WILL SUP WITH HIM, AND HE WITH ME.”
IF THOSE IDOL NAMES ARE OUR FAMILY TRADITIONS: IT HAS TO BE BROKEN. (MATT. 10:-35-40)
SATAN ENSLAVED OUR FORE-FATHERS AND HAD THEIR SOULS CONTAMINATED.
JESUS HAS GIVEN US FREEDOM OVER SATAN AND HIS MINIONS.
OUR NAME(S) MATTERS IN THE PRESENCE OF GOD. IF GOD CHANGES THAT OF ABRAHAM AND SARAH HIS WIFE.
DO YOURSELF A FAVOR: IF YOU ARE ONE OF THOSE THAT ARE STILL SHARING NAME(S) WITH THE DEVIL.
TAKE A NEW NAME(S) THAT ALIGNED WITH YOUR FAITH IN CHRIST.
OBEDIENCE IS BETTER THAN SACRIFICE.
