YOUR VALUE, YOUR NAME.

What is the value in a name? I realised that when Jesus had completed his assignment on earth, it was recorded that God gave him a name above every other name. How can that be? What exactly is in a name? Is a name not just a combination of letters that have a sound which is used to identify us?
What makes the name of one person significant than the other?
For instance, when we mention Moses, we think of the great leader that led the Children of Israel out of Egypt. When we mention Paul, we think of the great apostle that wrote 2/3 of the new testament.

The book of Proverbs says: "A good name is rather to be chosen than great riches, and loving favour rather than silver and gold.". A "good name" it says. How do we get this good name? Looking at Jesus it was said that he humbled himself to the death of the cross and God gave him the name.

The above scripture says a good name is to be "chosen". In other words, you have the power to make your name a good one,  and that is by making a choice. When you follow the purpose of God for your life and you align yourself with the principles of the kingdom you are setting yourself up for having a good name.
You must realise that it is what you do with your life that determines the value that your name carries.

I have written four books in all between last year and now, with others in the  pipeline. A number of people have read them. It seems unbelievable to some that what they're reading was written by me. In their hearts now when they think of me they remember the writer, author.

In all, ensure that your name is not only known amongst men, but also in the kingdom of God. Do things that would lead to crowns in Heaven. Win souls, advance the kingdom of God on earth.

Central Truth: You can choose what your name represents in the hearts of people and in the mind of God.

Focus Scripture: Proverbs 22:1

PRAYER:
LORD, help me to fix my mind on the things that build a good name in Jesus Name. Amen.
