What’s My Name?

Wherefore God also hath highly exalted him, and given him a name which is above every name: (Phil 2:9)

I know it is an unusual title, but I wrote it to make a point. Let me point out an interesting analogy that will drive home my point. During the mid-’60s and ’70s, a Heavyweight champion was known to the Boxing world as Muhammad Ali. His original name was Cassius Clay.

When the press questioned him about that name change, he responded that Cassius Clay was a slave name and wanted nothing to do with that name. Taking wind of that name change and trying to make some publicity, Ali’s foes would try him by calling him Cassius Clay. I remember when he fought Ernie Terrell, who refused to call him by his name. Ali would unleash a series of blows to punish his rival and ask him- What’s my name?

Take hold of your Identity.

As we study the Bible, there were times when God would change the names of his chosen ones. Names mean a lot, and while I am not telling anyone to change your name (unless God tells you to), I want you to know that when you got Born-Again, God gave you a new name. The name of Jesus! 

You became engrafted in the Body of Christ when you became Born-Again. A way to better understand this is by looking at the principle of marriage. When a man marries a woman, she takes her husband’s name as her own. The Body is the bride of Christ and has all the benefits of the name of Jesus. You are in covenant with Jesus! 

We live in an interesting time. The world is trying to evangelize us into their mode of thinking. Right is wrong, and wrong is right. They are coming after our children. There is mass confusion over gender Identity. There is an answer. We need to be rooted in our Identity in Christ so that God can use us in this day and time.

It’s time to take hold of our Identity. As we seek God to seal our Identity thru Christ, we can discover our true calling. God will lead and teach us how to win souls. There is a hungry world out there searching for Identity. We can reach them and show them their true Identity in Christ Jesus. 

In these last days, we are going to see signs and wonders. Modern-day Elijahs and Moses will rise to the occasion. The world would see a mighty demonstration of God’s power. These are going to be exciting times. So, please click on the link below for our podcast of the day. It will encourage and motivate you. God bless.
