A NEW NAME | AUGUST 2014

And when eight days were accomplished for the circumcising of the child, his name was called Jesus, which was so named of the angel before he was conceived in the womb.

 -          Luke 2:21 (KJV)

Once a child is named, the identity changes; the infant looks the same BUT the identity IS different...

Sages of old and present times seem to name a child based on the circumstances that occur at the birth of the child...

Jesus was named even before He was conceived; the location or situations surrounding His birth didn't influence the name choice...

    

¹ For Zion's sake will I not hold my peace, and for Jerusalem's sake I will not rest, until the righteousness thereof go forth as brightness, and the salvation thereof as a lamp that burneth. 

² And the Gentiles shall see thy righteousness, and all kings thy glory: and thou shalt be called by a new name, which the mouth of the Lord shall name.

 -          Isaiah 62:1-2 (KJV)

 A new name suggests a change of identity; a new identity...

It is a prophecy of one's desired destiny; what you bear, you become...

⁴ Your name will no longer be “Deserted and Childless,” but “Happily Married.” You will please the Lord; your country will be his bride.

-          Isaiah 62:4 (CEV)

A woman, when married may still look the same (at least for a while) but her status and name has changed!

May this eight month be for you, the beginning of a POSITIVE CHANGE OF IDENTITY...

- as an individual and as a nation!

You WILL be called by a NEW NAME!

God Bless You!
