WHAT IS YOUR NAME?(1)

Text: Proverbs 22:1 

A GOOD name is rather to be chosen than great riches, and loving favour rather than silver and gold. 

It is quite intriguing how and why some parents just christen an innocent child any name that comes to mind. It was announced recently that a parent in Asia named their twin "Corona and Covid" This is one of the reasons why children sometimes grow up and start misbehaving. It is simply the name! Name is very important and crucial in one's life. It gives us unique identity, description and sometimes direction. One of the very first assignments Adam undertook in the garden of Eden was to give names to all the animals (Genesis 2:18-19). He thereafter named his wife "And Adam called his wife's name Eve; *because she was the mother of all living.* (Genesis 3:20). 

Our text is talking about the name everyone gives to himself or herself. Whenever people calls your name, there is another name that comes to their mind which paints who you really are. That is what we call *IMAGE* ! When you hear the name: *Judas Iscariot,* what readily comes to mind is *BETRAYAL*. That was the image he bore ans that is his name till today. He chose this name for himself by his attitude and character. Your real name is the one you give yourself by your *ATTITUDE* and *CHARACTER* .

When you mention some people's name all manner of horrible images shows up: fraudster, liar unreliable, unfaithful, unstable e.t.c You have a duty to re-christen yourself. You must pay attention to the kind of name you are building for yourself TODAY. 

 "A GOOD NAME is rather to be chosen......" This means that you are the one to choose a name for yourself. What name would you like to choose for yourself TODAY. A Good name or a bad name?

THE GOOD FIGHT-2

Text:  1 Timothy  6:12   Fight the good fight of faith, lay hold on eternal life, whereunto thou art also called, and hast professed a good profession before many witnesses. Another thing to pursue in fighting the good fight of faith is Godliness. We understand through the Holy scriptures that godliness is profitable unto all things.   *For bodily exercise profiteth little: but godliness is profitable unto all things, having promise of the life that now is, and of that which is to come.* 1 Timothy  4:8.  You will reap the reward of your godliness not only when you get to heaven, but from here on earth. And this is why we are admonished to exercise ourselves unto godliness. (1 Timothy  4:7), because godliness with contentment is great gain.1 Timothy  6:6. Godliness is the practice of conforming to the image of God by reflecting the nature of the kingdom of God in the course of everyday life. In other words, godliness is living and portray...

WAY MAKER-2

Text: Isaiah 43:19 Behold, I will do a new thing: now it shall spring forth: shall ye not know it?  I will even make a way in the wilderness,  and rivers in the desert. God promised that He will do a new thing for you, and that He will make a way in the wilderness and rivers in the desert. He has done this before, and He will do it again even in your own life.  When the children of Israel left Egypt, the Egyptians pursued after them, all the horses and chariots of Pharaoh, and his horsemen, and his army, and overtook them, encamping by the sea, beside Pihahiroth, before Baalzephon.(Exodus 14:9). Just like anyone would react, the Isrealites became so fearful because there is neither way forward nor back for them to escape. Before them was the red sea, behind them were the Egyptian armies. They became perplexed and began to murmur against Moses. It is possible you are also in a situation like the Israelites- No way forward, and no way behind. Things may appear like you are ...

HIS VOICE- 2

Text : John 10:3. To him the porter opens; and the sheep hear his voice: and he calls his own sheep by name, and leads them out. We established yesterday that one thing you can't joke with as a true follower of Christ is *His Voice.* You must recognise and hearken to (obey) His voice. It is in doing this that your safety is assured.  Today, we want to see another responsibility of the Shepherd over His sheep.  To him the porter opens; and the sheep hear his voice: and he calls his own sheep by name, *and leads them out.* John 10:3.  He called you, that He might lead you. It is not enough for you to hear or recognise His Voice, you must allow Him to lead you as well.  Romans 8:14 says *For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God.*   The Spirit leading you determines the family you belong to. Basically,  there are only two families in this world - the family of God, and the family of satan. In other words, we can say the Kingdom...
