I HAVE CHANGED YOUR NAME SAITH GOD---Dearly beloved and longed for brothers, in this summer season, let us not forget the soldiers who are overseas fighting it out, so that we can have our houses, wives and churches in relative safety. It kind of reminds me again of the Sacrifice that Jesus endured on our behalf. We were once lost, without mercy, sinners, wounded, afflicted, cast down and cast off, we were once a people with no hope and headed to a punishment of eternal hell. But thanks to God for Jesus His Son, the Christ of God, who came down to earth from Heaven to give us a new name! Revelation 2:17 says in part: …….."To him that overcometh will I give to eat of the hidden manna, and will give him a white stone, and in the stone a new name written, which no man knoweth saving he that receiveth it". This means that God, through Jesus Christ, at some time in the future, will give each redeemed soul a new name. We shall no longer be called sinners of the Gentiles, cast outs, or children of the devil, drunkards, fornicators or Adulterers, liars or thieves, but God has put His own name in our foreheads, and has also given us a new name. No doubt that in the future, we shall use this new name and act like this new name and perform actions and duties for God’s kingdom and His glory, using the strength of our new name. We are called in God’s Holy word ("The Bible"), to be over-comers, to be holy, obedient, to be born again of His Spirit, of His Son. This then, would also mean that we must be changed from our current sinful state. Our body must be allowed to die, or be killed, for flesh and blood cannot inherit eternal life, it must be resurrected and fashioned like unto His glorious body. Our minds and souls must be renewed, washed and cleansed by His Blood and by reading the Holy Scriptures, so that it may be fit to accept the knowledge and glories of heaven, so that it not defile heaven or defile itself while in heaven. Our dead spirits of course, must be born again of His Spirit and Son, made alive through a spiritual operation that only God can do to a person through repentance towards the Father and Faith towards Jesus Christ. If you do not have at least this last one working in your life, then you will get no new name, and there will be no redemption or dwelling place of heaven for you. Ah, just think of it, a new name, old things and old sins are past away, no more pain or sorrow any longer, behold God makes all things new! But it first depends on you! Are you born of His Spirit and Son? Are you walking the walk and abiding faithful till the End? Do you have the hope and expectation of God in Heaven? If so, rejoice forevermore, if not, then what are you waiting for? Go quickly to the JUDGE of all flesh and ask for a name change, He’ll be happy to give you one!
