The Power Of Names - Olusegun Festus Remilekun - Bog

The Bible makes one thing clear: everyone lives to fulfill his name. Let us briefly examine some names in the Bible and their relationship with the bearers. When the angel appeared unto Joseph and said, ''...Thou shalt call his name Jesus...'', he revealed something about the person of Jesus. The name Jesus means Savior. His mission: to save his people from their sins....'' Matthew 1:21Bearing the name ''Simon", which means ''the reed'' (one who is easily shaken), affected Simon; so Jesus changed his name from Simon to Peter, ''The Rock'' (Stable, Immovable). ''Upon this rock will I build my church and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it.'' Matthew 16:18 Then again there was a man called Nabal, of whom these words were spoken: ''As his name is, so is he; Nabal is his name, and folly is with him...'' 1 Samuel 25:25 Another man was called Ichabod- ''the glory is departed'' 1Samuel 4:21 Your Name is a word. It is a wish. It is an instruction. Your Name is a prayer. Your Name is your Forerunner. Your name is the totality of your virtue, character, and power. It is an explanation. Your name is personality. Your name is the most common, frequently pronounced confession of your life. Your name is a spirit that hovers above and around you to determine what must happen.
