You’re A Name

In order for you to boost of an identity you must have a name, names together with the procedure of acquiring a name have a long standing history.

Names are a definition and a description of one’s life and character.

 In the Old Testament, names were bestowed according to the environment and the circumstances that surround one’s birth.

Conversely in the New Testament names were bestowed in relationship to one’s assignment in life.

And as New Testament believers of God’s word we all ought to have names that are a true reflection of our God given assignment in life.

Strangely that is not the case in many people’s lives

However if you are a child of great destiny your name will and is playing a great deal in how you deal with life and via-à-vis how life is dealing with you.

Hence at this juncture, I would like you to carefully consider that the reason why you are struggling in life has got to do with your identity.

For instance if your name was not earmarked by God for greatness and goodness before the beginning of time then may be hell would not have been an experience in your life.

The devil is attacking you with every weapon in hell because he understands that your name is great.

It’s great because God had your name in mind when he vowed to make the believers’ name great.

Your by its self is threat to the kingdom of darkness because it carries the message of the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ.

If indeed and in fact the struggle of your life is not with the kingdom of darkness then I want to suggest that your struggle is with God.

  

God is wrestling with your name and I know this because when Jacob demands to be blessed so as to let go of the man with whom he is wrestling with at penile, the man asks Jacob,” what is your name?

Which means the struggle between Jacob and the man who turns out to be God was about the name of 

Jacob. 

Jacob translates to mean trickster, deceiver, and hell.

Before Jacob would enter his GOD-PREPARED DESTINY God had to take away his old identity and give him a new identity.

It’s now and here that you should carefully consider on whether the name that you carry can stand the glory of God. Whether it can or not then that is up to the test to decide.

Conversely your struggle is a test to gauge whether your life and character is well able to walk and stand in the glory that God has prepared for you.

Every struggle that you have been enduring has been God’s test to see whether you can stand and continually trust God even in the face of great adversity.

The reason why you passed the test and overcome the struggle is in the fact that God declares you victor after all that you have to embrace a name change as God will guide, direct, and lead you to do so.

After the struggle between Jacob and God, Jacob becomes Israeli, after your struggle whose end is now, you have become a nation that is supported of God and your identity is no longer of a local individual but that of a global icon.

  

Because you have been tested and tried with global issues and struggles, and you have won.
